Scalp Micro-pigmentation (SMP)

Type

Scalp Treatment

Scalp micropigmentation at Fortes Hair & Skin Clinic in London applies specialised pigment to the scalp to create the appearance of fuller hair density. The process begins with an assessment of scalp condition, hair-loss pattern, and suitability, followed by hairline and density planning. Pigment placement is built through foundational work, density refinement, and final balancing where needed. SMP may help create a more defined hairline, reduce the visual contrast of thinning areas, or camouflage scars from previous procedures. Results appear early and develop through the full course, with retouch treatment typically planned after 2–3 years.
