Good to know
Honest answers to the questions we hear most about scalp micropigmentation. Still unsure? Ask our AI assistant or book a free chat with Simon.
It's far gentler than a body tattoo. A numbing cream is applied first and the needle only touches the uppermost layer of skin, so most clients describe it as a mild tingling or scratching. Many relax completely and some even doze off.
Sessions start from £400, with a full treatment usually spread over 2-3 sessions depending on the area being treated. You'll get an exact, no-obligation quote at your free consultation, no surprises.
Typically up to 3 years or more before a light top-up keeps it looking sharp. It fades slowly and evenly, so it always looks natural rather than suddenly disappearing.
Yes, that's exactly what Simon is known for. By layering thousands of varied micro-dots in different tones and sizes, the result reads as real hair follicles from every angle. Clients routinely tell us nobody can tell.
SMP suits almost anyone over 18 experiencing thinning, a receding hairline, baldness, scarring or alopecia, men and women alike. The best way to know for certain is a free consultation, where Simon will give you an honest assessment.
After a consultation and hairline design, Simon cleans and (if needed) shaves the area, applies numbing cream, then deposits pigment in tiny micro-dots that mimic real follicles. It's built over 2-3 sessions a couple of weeks apart.
Minimal downtime. The scalp may look slightly pink for a day or two then settles. You'll get simple aftercare guidance, avoid heavy sweating, swimming and direct sun for a few days, and you can return to normal life straight away.
Absolutely. Scar camouflage is one of Simon's specialisms. SMP blends FUT strip scars, FUE dot scarring and other scalp scars into the surrounding hair so they effectively disappear.
Yes. SMP is an excellent, stable option for alopecia, it evens out patchy or diffuse loss into a clean, consistent finish that doesn't change day to day.
Definitely. For women, SMP adds density through partings and thinning areas to create a fuller look, with no need to shave. It's discreet, sensitive and fully tailored.
