What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp Micropigmentation is a form of medical tattooing that replicates the look of natural hair follicles using tiny pigment deposits in the scalp. This creates the illusion of density in thinning areas or a close-shaved buzz cut in areas of full hair loss.

What Scalp Medical Tattooing Addresses

Scalp medical tattooing addresses the appearance of hair loss by creating the illusion of density through micropigmentation.

The scalp micropigmentation Southampton clients choose is designed to address the appearance of hair loss, thinning hair and scarring on the scalp. Specialised pigments are implanted into the scalp in tiny dots, replicating the appearance of natural hair follicles and creating the illusion of density. This SMP hair loss treatment Hampshire technique can help create a natural-looking, fuller appearance for those experiencing hair loss.

Expected Course & Results

Scalp micropigmentation typically requires two to three sessions, with results settling over several weeks.

The scalp tattoo for hair loss treatment is usually carried out over two to three sessions spaced a week or more apart, building density gradually. The pigment settles over approximately four weeks, after which a top-up may be recommended. A consultation is carried out beforehand to assess the scalp and confirm a personalised plan.

Downtime & Recovery

Downtime is minimal, with mild redness settling within a day or two.

Immediately after treatment the scalp may appear red, which typically settles within a day or two. The pigment will initially appear darker before softening as it heals. Most clients resume normal activities quickly, though sun exposure, sweating and washing the scalp should be avoided for a short period.

Who Scalp Medical Tattooing Is Suitable For

Scalp micropigmentation is suited to those with hair loss, thinning hair or scalp scarring.

This treatment is well suited to individuals experiencing hair loss, thinning hair, or those with scarring on the scalp who wish to create the appearance of density. It is suitable for a range of hair loss patterns. Suitability and expected outcomes are discussed at consultation.

Who Scalp Medical Tattooing Is Not Suitable For

Scalp tattooing is not suitable during pregnancy, for active scalp conditions, or for certain conditions.

The treatment is generally not suitable for those who are pregnant, or for individuals with active scalp conditions, infections, or certain skin conditions. Suitability is confirmed at consultation following a review of medical history.

Risks & Considerations

Common effects are temporary redness; rare risks include pigment variation or sensitivity.

Temporary redness and mild tenderness are common during healing. Less commonly, pigment may heal unevenly or take on a slightly different tone, which a top-up can address. As with any skin treatment, there is a small risk of sensitivity. A full medical history and risk discussion takes place at consultation.

Aftercare & Support

Keep the scalp clean, dry and protected from sun, sweat and washing during healing.

During healing, the scalp should be kept clean and dry, with sun exposure, heavy sweating and washing avoided for a short period. Swimming and saunas should be avoided until fully healed. Written aftercare instructions are provided, and follow-up support is available.
