Scalp micropigmentation is safe and the inks or pigments used are approved for use in Canada, EU and are FDA-approved in America. The procedure uses ink to simulate hair. The application looks like tiny dots of ink, and the ink is injected into the scalp using a needle. The ink bonds with the skin like a tattoo. SMP can be removed if you decide you don't want it anymore.

There's no surgery involved.

Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical, dermatologist-supervised procedure that uses cosmetic tattoos to create the appearance of hair. It requires no scalpels or stitches and does not require anesthesia. There is no recovery time or scarring, so there are no side effects for patients. It doesn't involve pain, bleeding or infection either. The only risk is that the ink could be rejected by your body—the risk of this happening is minimal but possible depending on your specific health history and condition at the time you receive the treatment. Since scalp micropigmentation doesn't require any donor site removal or transplantation, it also means there's no risk of infection if done correctly by an experienced artist with proper equipment used in sterile conditions

You can't feel the pigment after it is applied to your scalp.

Almost all scalp micropigmentation procedures are performed using a series of fine needles. The pigment is injected into the scalp, giving it a natural look and feel. The procedure is relatively painless and can be done in about 2-4 sessions each session lasting an hour to three hours, depending on how many areas you want to cover and whether you're getting just a hairline, fixing a scar or full coverage. The pigments used for scalp micropigmentation are semi-permanent and will fade after two to five years or so.

This effective method of hair restoration/ replication called SMP or commonly referred to as scalp micropigmentation is a great option for anyone who has lost their hair. The best part about this procedure is that it doesn't involve surgery, pills or chemicals—it uses ink-based tattooing techniques that mark the scalp to create the appearance of a fuller and more consistent head of hair

It achieves this by using small dots that replicate individual hairs in order to make your existing hair look thicker, which gives you a fuller-looking head of hair as well as creating the appearance of close-cropped stubble if you've lost all your locks (even though there are no actual hairs in these areas involved).
