We proudly help men and women from Chorley, Horwich, Bolton, Preston, and across Lancashire rebuild receding hairlines, fill thinning areas, camouflage scars, or correct poor SMP results — all with expert care in a private, professional clinic.

✅ What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

SMP involves implanting tiny pigment deposits into the scalp using micro-needles to replicate the look of closely shaved hair or natural density. It’s ideal for:

  • Receded or uneven hairlines

  • Diffuse thinning and patchy hair loss

  • Camouflaging surgical scars or alopecia

  • Correcting or fading bad SMP work

SMP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

❓ 1. What is SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation)?

SMP is a non-surgical treatment that uses tiny pigment deposits applied to the scalp to replicate the look of natural hair follicles. It creates the appearance of a fuller head of hair, a shaved scalp, or enhanced hairline definition—ideal for those with hair thinning, alopecia, or scalp scarring.

❓ 2. How many sessions will I need?

Most clients need 2 to 4 sessions, spaced about 7–14 days apart, to build up natural-looking density and detail. A free consultation will help us create a tailored treatment plan for your scalp.

❓ 3. Is SMP permanent?

SMP is a long-lasting solution, typically lasting 4–6 years before a top-up may be needed. The pigments naturally fade over time, but with proper care, results remain sharp and realistic.

❓ 4. Does the treatment hurt?

Discomfort is generally minimal. Most clients describe the feeling as a light scratching or tapping sensation. We use numbing options to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout your session.

❓ 5. Will it look natural?

Absolutely. We carefully match the pigment to your natural hair colour and skin tone to achieve a highly realistic finish. The goal is to replicate tiny hair follicles, not draw attention—just give the illusion of density and definition.

❓ 6. Does SMP removal hurt?

Most clients report mild discomfort, similar to laser tattoo removal.

❓ 7. How many SMP removal sessions do I need?

Many clients see visible fading in just 1–3 sessions.

❓ 8. Is SMP removal safe?

Yes – we use a pico laser system designed for precise, skin-safe pigment removal.
