Natural-looking hairlines and the appearance of fuller density through precision scalp micropigmentation.
Subtle by design.
Scalp micropigmentation uses tiny pigment impressions to replicate the appearance of hair follicles. It creates a visual effect of closely cropped hair or added density. It does not regrow hair.

A closely cropped hairline look, density enhancement for thinning hair, or camouflage for a scar. The consultation works out which is right for you.
Hairline and density
The two most common reasons people book SMP: a hairline that has moved back, and hair that has thinned enough for the scalp to show through.
Scar camouflage
A strip scar from an older hair transplant, a field of small FUE dots, or a scar from surgery or injury. SMP places pigment into and around the scar so it blends with the surrounding scalp.
A considered approach.

Free consultation
In person or by video. We look at your hair, talk about what you want and what SMP can and cannot do, and you leave with a clear plan and price.

Hairline design and pigment match
Your hairline is drawn on by hand and you approve it in the mirror. Pigment is matched to your skin undertone and hair colour.
- 03
Session one
The foundation layer at a lighter tone. Two to four hours. You walk out looking like a fresh close crop with slight redness that fades in a day or two.
- 04
Session two
Ten to fourteen days later. Density, refinement and tone adjustments once the first layer has settled.
- 05
Session three if needed
Some skin holds pigment lightly. A third pass finishes the density.
- 06
Touch-up in a few years
Pigment softens over four to six years. A single touch-up session brings it back.
Precision, with a personal touch.
Every hairline is drawn by hand and approved in the mirror before any pigment is placed. Pigment is matched to your skin and hair and built up over two to three sessions, so the result is gradual and natural. You are never pushed into a darker or lower hairline than you asked for.
Meet AnnieIs scalp micropigmentation worth it?
For most people who book it, yes, because it solves a daily problem permanently enough to stop thinking about it. It does not grow hair and it does not replace hair. What it does is make a bald or thinning scalp look full and intentional from the first session, with no products, no daily routine and nothing to hide. The honest test is the consultation: if your goal is a shaved or closely cropped look, or density under existing hair, SMP does that very well. If your goal is long hair where there is none, it is the wrong tool.
Does SMP look real?
Good SMP is invisible as SMP. Each dot is sized and spaced to match a real follicle, the tone is matched to your skin, and the hairline is slightly irregular the way a natural one is. It looks like closely cropped hair. The things that make SMP look fake are a hairline drawn too low or too straight, pigment that is too dark or too blue, and dots that are too large. All three are avoidable, which is why the design and pigment match happen before anything else.
How long does scalp micropigmentation last?
Four to six years before it visibly softens, longer for many clients. Pigment sits in the upper dermis and fades slowly with sun exposure and skin turnover. A single touch-up session restores it. It is best described as semi-permanent: it does not wash out, but it does soften over years.
Does it hurt?
Most people describe it as a light scratching or a tattoo at its mildest, around a three out of ten. The front hairline and the area above the ears are the most sensitive. Sessions include breaks and you can ask to pause at any time.
