Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a new, non-surgical procedure for individuals who don’t want to undergo intensive therapy or a hair transplant. The cosmetic procedure involves a pen-based tattoo machine that creates in-depth dots on your scalp to mimic the shape of natural hair follicles. Although it is widely used for creating small dots to create a shaved hairstyle look, it can also be used to create the illusion of longer-length hair. SMP differs from other types of tattoos in terms of intensity and depth, as the scalp is thicker than other body parts.
Who Needs/Candidates
Scalp micropigmentation is a suitable option for anyone looking to enhance the overall appearance of their scalp. You may benefit from SMP if:
- You want to cover up a receding hairline.
- Want precise control over the appearance of your scalp.
- Oral or topical hair restoration medication does not work for you
Besides these, the procedure can be especially helpful for individuals suffering from certain types of health conditions. These can include those going through or having a history of:
- Cancer
- Balding
- Pattern baldness
- Alopecia
- Hair thinning
- Psoriasis
- Scalp inflammation
- At the risk of developing keloids
- Active eczema

Important Information About Scalp Micropigmentation in Pakistan
It’s important to note that scalp micropigmentation in Pakistan cannot fix hair loss or balding. It only works to hide hair thinning or balding with a tattoo-like procedure. The treatment is considered semi-permanent and is highly prone to fading over the years. Keep in mind that all skin naturally exfoliates and replaces itself over time, which may result in fading pigmentation.
Treatment Goals for Scalp Micropigmentation in Pakistan
The primary reason people opt for scalp micropigmentation in Pakistan is for cosmetic improvement. Scalp micropigmentation is highly effective as a quick and non-invasive alternative to more serious hair restoration methods such as a hair transplant. The procedure is a long-term solution and is therefore not recommended as a short-term cover-up.
Preparation/Pre-Op Care for Scalp Micropigmentation in Pakistan
Your scalp micropigmentation procedure will involve multiple care steps and precautions, as some level of scalp penetration is required. Engaging in the following practices will help you manage and go through the process easily:
- Avoid alcohol, as it can lead to blood thinning.
- Keep your scalp moisturised, as it will help with absorbing the ink more effectively.
- Besides alcohol, avoid all medication and food that may cause blood thinning, such as Warfarin and caffeine
- Avoid all anticoagulants such as Ibuprofen and Aspirin as they increase the risk of bleeding.
- Do not tan your skin for at least two weeks before the treatment.
- Ensure your scalp is free of dandruff and dry skin by exfoliating the night before
Treatment Steps for Scalp Micropigmentation in Pakistan
Your micropigmentation procedure begins with an in-depth consultation with your practitioner. This helps both parties develop a clear idea about the desired and expected outcomes. Your practitioner then matches the tattoo ink with the tone of your skin and hair follicles. Your first session only involves creating spaced pigmentation with a lighter shade. During this stage, your practitioner judges how well your scalp is responding to the ink and its penetration.
After a positive response, your scalp will be filled with multiple layers of ink and different shades in follow-up sessions. The number of sessions will depend on the density of required pigmentation, the number of layering needed, and the overall response of your scalp. Each session is conducted after a 10 to 14-day gap to allow sufficient time for previous ink to settle.
Recovery/Post-Op Care for Scalp Micropigmentation in Pakistan
Because a high level of ink colour, precise direction, and multiple layering of inks is involved, anything related to moisture and washing should be avoided. To ensure that the layering, colouring, and styling of your pigmentation are not damaged, follow these post-op care instructions:
- Shower right before each session, as you won’t be able to wash your scalp for at least four days.
- Avoid all strenuous activities after each session, as sweat can cause ink dislodgement.
- Avoid exposing your scalp to excessive heat, don’t go swimming or use sauna roams for at least 28 days.
- Direct exposure to the sun and heat should be avoided for at least 28 days after the final treatment.
- After 28 days, use sunscreen on the scalp to avoid discolouration
- Refrain from excessive scrubbing or exfoliation, as it can affect the ink’s absorption.
