Questions about SMP

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?

SMP is a fairly new treatment in New Zealand for men and women suffering from hair loss.

For many years people have used medication and expensive hair transplants when dealing with hair loss, but now many are turning towards a more practical solution – tattooing the scalp!

This amazing procedure immediately restores receding hairlines, fixes bald spots, scaring and adds the elusion of fuller thicker hair for both men and women.

Is SMP a non-surgical hair loss solution?

Yes. Scalp micropigmentation or commonly referred to as SMP is a non-surgical procedure that uses a micro needle to inject pigment into the epidermal level of the scalp.

Tiny dots are tattooed into the scalp to create the illusion of hair follicles.

How Many Treatments Does It Take?

SMP usually requires three to four sessions, each taking 2 to 4 hours depending on the area being treated.

We space out the treatments to allow for a natural, gradual build up. The results are instantaneous.

Does it really help the appearance of hair loss?

The illusion of SMP is very realistic. See the examples in our Gallery.

My clients leave feeling more confident and youthful. It is absolutely life changing for many!

How soon will I see a change?

You will see the change right away and with following treatments the appearance of hair density will increase.

Can anyone have SMP done?

SMP is suitable for all skin types and stages of hair-loss, from completely bald to just thinning spots or alopecia patches.

However, if your scalp is very dry or the skin is flaky, we will advise that you need to get the skin in a more healthy condition or the pigmentation may not take as well.

Is Scalp Micropigmentation right for me?

Yes! SMP is a great option if:

You want to create density and the appearance of a full head of hair, 

You want to recreate your own natural hairline or hide thinning patches of hair loss and turn back the clock with thicker looking hair, or

Corrective camouflage for head scarring and Alopecia.

Is it safe to have an MRI after SMP?

Yes, it is. At Headline Inc we use high quality pigments which cause no conflicts with a MRI because the metal oxide content is so low.
