What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp Micropigmentation is a cosmetic tattoo technique that replicates the appearance of real hair follicles. Using specialised equipment and purpose-designed pigments, tiny micro-dots are layered across the scalp to create the look of:

​

  • A fuller buzz-cut

  • Thicker, denser hair

  • Restored hairlines

  • Camouflaged scars (FUT/FUE or accident scars)

  • Blended alopecia patches

  • Enhanced beard density

 

Unlike traditional tattooing, SMP is ultra-precise, gentle on the skin, and tailored to your skin tone, hair colour, and facial structure.

Who Is SMP For?

SMP works for men and women of all ages dealing with:

  • Male pattern baldness (any Norwood stage)

  • Thinning hair or widening part lines

  • Diffuse hair loss

  • Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis

  • Scarring from surgeries or injury

  • Old, discoloured SMP that needs repair

 

Whether you want a sharper, defined hairline or something incredibly soft and natural, the treatment is fully customisable.

 

Benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation

  • Instant visual impact – results after the first session

  • Long-lasting – typically 2–5 years before a touch-up

  • Non-surgical – no cutting, no scarring, no medications

  • Low maintenance – no daily styling required

  • Natural on all skin tones

  • Boosts confidence by restoring a strong, youthful hairline

 

How SMP Works – Step by Step

1. Consultation

You’ll discuss your goals, hairline design, hair loss pattern, and the type of style that suits your face structure and skin tone. This is where we map out your customised plan. Consultations can be done in-person, over the phone/text, or through Zoom.

​

2. Session One – Foundation Layer

A soft base layer is applied across the scalp to build density and map out the shape.

​

3. Session Two – Density + Detailing

We add deeper density, blend through transitions, and adjust tones to achieve a realistic look.

​

4. Session Three – Refinements

Final enhancements and micro-details bring everything together for a seamless, natural result.

 

Hairline Design on the Gold Coast – Fully Customised

Your hairline is one of the most important parts of SMP. We tailor it based on:

  • Your facial symmetry

  • Natural ageing patterns

  • Hair loss stage

  • Ethnicity

  • Skin undertone

  • Your personal style preference

 

You can choose from natural, soft broken, conservative, or sharper defined hairlines. We guide you on what will age best and look most realistic long term.

 

What to Expect After Your SMP Sessions

Immediately after treatment, the scalp may look slightly darker for 24–48 hours as the pigment settles. Mild redness is normal and fades quickly. Over the next few days, micro-dots soften into their final healed shade.

 

You’ll receive simple aftercare instructions, no washing, sweating, or shaving for a short time, and we’ll guide you through every step.

 

How Long Does SMP Last?

SMP typically lasts 7-10 years however we recommend touch up every 2-5 years to keep it looking fresh.
