WHAT IS SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION?

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a cosmetic procedure offering a non-surgical solution for hair loss. This technique involves tattooing the scalp with tiny dots to mimic the appearance of hair follicles for a fuller hairline. SMP can also work on any area on your scalp, including side hairlines, crown or mid hairline.

At Monostudio, we understand that hair loss can be a sensitive issue. That’s why we take a personalised approach to SMP, carefully customising the procedure to each individual’s needs and hair loss patterns. Whether you’re experiencing a receding hairline, thinning hair, pattern baldness, or alopecia, SMP can effectively create the appearance of a fuller head of hair. This treatment is also highly effective in camouflaging scars or birthmarks on the scalp, restoring confidence and enhancing your overall appearance.

We welcome clients of all ages seeking to revitalise their hairlines and achieve a more youthful look. However, do note that clients under the age of 18 would need parental consent.

Benefits of SMP

  • Camouflage scars and imperfections
  • Suitable to cover various types of hair loss (medical related or non-related)
  • Offers a natural-looking solution

PROCEDURE

The scalp micropigmentation procedure at Monostudio involves a series of carefully executed steps to achieve natural-looking results.

Consultation and Hairline Design
We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your hair loss concerns, discuss your expectations, and analyse your facial features. Our SMP artist will then design a personalised hairline that complements your unique facial structure and hair growth patterns.

Application
Using a micropigmentation device with fine needles, the pigment is delicately applied to the scalp, creating tiny dots that replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles.

Aftercare
Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to ensure proper healing and longevity of the results. This may include guidelines on cleansing, moisturising, and protecting the treated area.

Pigment Matching
The pigment colour is carefully selected to match your natural hair colour and skin tone, ensuring a seamless blend with your existing hair.

Density Building
Multiple layers of pigment may be applied to build density and create a natural-looking gradient, mimicking the appearance of real hair growth.

The entire SMP procedure typically takes around 1 hour, depending on the treatment area and complexity. While there might be a slight sensation of vibration and minimal discomfort, most clients find the procedure tolerable. There is no downtime required, and you can resume your daily activities after the treatment. And depending on your skin’s healing process and individual needs, touch-up sessions may be recommended to maintain the results over time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION SERVICE

SMP is a versatile hair restoration tattooing technique that is suitable for both men and women experiencing various forms of hair loss. This includes those with androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, thinning hair, and scarring on the scalp.

Yes, absolutely! Our skilled SMP artists will carefully select a pigment colour that perfectly matches your natural hair colour and complements your skin tone. This ensures that the results blend seamlessly with your existing hair for a natural and undetectable enhancement.

The results of a non-invasive SMP treatment can typically last for around 3 years for both men and women. However, longevity may vary based on individual factors such as lifestyle, scalp condition, and sun exposure. Some clients opt for touch-up sessions every few years to maintain the desired density and colour.

SMP is a safe and non-surgical hairline tattoo procedure. While pain tolerance varies for each individual, most clients find the sensation tolerable due to the dotting technique used, and numbing cream is typically not required for SMP treatments.

The cost of our scalp microdotting service depends on the size of the treatment area and the density required. We recommend sending us pictures of your scalp or areas of concern for a personalised quotation. In addition, all SMP treatments include 3 sessions for optimal results, spaced 1 week and 1 month apart.

After your hairline embroidery service, avoid washing your hair for at least 16 hours. Refrain from activities that cause excessive sweating and prolonged sun exposure for 2-3 days. There is typically no scabbing after an SMP treatment, so you can resume most normal activities with minimal downtime.

Before your scalp microdotting service appointment, ensure your scalp is clean and free of any oils or styling products. It’s also advisable to avoid alcohol and caffeine before the procedure to minimise any potential bleeding or scalp sensitivity.
