Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
Before
After first treatment
I am now certified in Scalp Micropigmentation or smp for short. Other terms for this procedure are: Cosmetic hair tattoo, hairline tattoo. Here is a brief description of the procedure...
Scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the application of specialized pigments to the scalp, creating the illusion of fuller hair. This technique is ideal for individuals experiencing hair thinning or balding, as it mimics the appearance of hair follicles, providing a look that enhances one's overall appearance.
The confidence boost from scalp micropigmentation can be transformative. Many individuals who undergo this procedure report feeling more self-assured and empowered, as they no longer feel the need to hide their thinning hair or bald spots. This newfound confidence can positively impact various aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional interactions, allowing individuals to their true selves.
Smp is for men and wemon and can even be used to cover scars on your head. Call/text to book your consultation today to get more details.
