Every stage of hair loss,

The Programme

Three sessions.
Permanent-looking results.

The three-session protocol is clinically necessary — each session builds precisely on the last. Over-saturating in one sitting produces an unnatural, tattooed appearance.

Hair Loss Reference

Which grade are you?

The Norwood-Hamilton Scale classifies male pattern hair loss in seven grades. SMP treats every grade — with the most significant transformations at V–VII where transplant surgery is often limited by donor supply.

Questions

The most common questions from men researching scalp micropigmentation — answered directly and honestly.

Book a consultation
SMP lasts 4–6 years before a refresh is required. The primary fading mechanism is UV exposure. Men who apply SPF 30+ to the scalp daily consistently achieve the upper end. A single refresh session (£200–£350) restores original density.
At normal social distances SMP is indistinguishable from a closely shaved head. The vast majority of clients report that colleagues and social contacts do not identify the treatment — they simply observe that hair loss appears less severe.
FUE transplant suits Norwood II–IV men with adequate donor supply who prefer hair at 2–5 cm length. SMP suits any grade, has zero downtime, delivers immediate results, and costs 70–90% less. For Norwood V–VII, insufficient donor supply often makes transplant surgery non-viable. Many men combine both treatments.
Yes. Complete baldness (Norwood VII) is fully treatable across three sessions. No remaining hair is required. The result is a convincing, uniform shaved-head appearance across the entire scalp surface.
Mild to moderate — a persistent light scratching sensation, not sharp pain. EMLA topical anaesthetic cream (from UK pharmacies without prescription, approximately £8) applied 45 minutes before treatment significantly reduces discomfort.
45–60 minutes: scalp examination under magnification, Norwood grading, hairline geometry drawn and approved before any treatment, pigment shade matched, three-session timeline confirmed, written aftercare provided, fixed cost quoted. No pigment applied. Available in-person or by video call.
