Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
Redefine Your Hairline Without Surgery
What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive cosmetic tattooing technique that creates the appearance of fuller hair by placing tiny pigment dots into the scalp, replicating the natural look of hair follicles.
It’s ideal for men and women experiencing thinning hair, bald patches, or receding hairlines, offering an instant, realistic hair density effect—without surgery, downtime, or side effects.
At Dermosphere Clinic, we perform SMP using high-precision micro-needles and dermatologically safe pigments, ensuring natural-looking results tailored to your scalp tone, hair color, and desired style.
How Does SMP Work?
• Specialized micro-pigments are deposited into the upper layer of the scalp (epidermis). • The dots mimic real hair follicles, creating an illusion of density or a buzz-cut look. • It can restore hairlines, camouflage scars, or enhance the look of a hair transplant.Benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation
