Scalp Micropigmentation for thinning hair

Who is it for

• Men with thinning across the crown, hairline, or temples who want the look of more coverage without surgery.

​

• Women with widening part lines or reduced density through the top and frontal third who don’t want to cut their hair short.

​

• Hair transplant clients (FUE/FUT) seeking to enhance visual fullness between grafts.

​

Note: This page focuses on thinning; we cover hairline restoration and other concerns on dedicated pages.

​

How SMP creates the illusion of density

​

• Dot-by-dot precision: Micro-impressions are placed between existing hairs to reduce scalp show-through.

​

• Tone matching: Pigment tones are selected to harmonise with your hair and skin so the finish blends naturally.

​

• Directional placement: We follow your natural growth patterns to keep the look consistent in every lighting scenario.

​

• Contrast control: By softening the light-to-dark contrast, hair looks thicker even when strands are fine.

​

​

Results for different scenarios Men (short to medium styles)

​

• Crown swirl: Breaking up reflective scalp so the crown doesn’t “flash” under lights.

​

• Front third & temples: Gentle impression work behind your existing hairline to improve framing without a harsh edge.

​

​

Women (longer styles)

​

• Part line refinement: Micro-work along the part and 1–2 cm either side reduces visible scalp.

​

• Frontal third: Subtle density just behind the hairline maintains softness while improving coverage for styling.

​

• Camera-friendly confidence: Great for weddings, events, and everyday photos where scalp show can be distracting.

​

​

Hair transplant clients

​

• Pre-transplant: Add visual density while you wait for growth, helping you feel presentable sooner.

​

• Post-transplant: Blend between grafts to maximise the perceived thickness of your procedure.

​

• Long-term strategy: SMP complements surgical results over time without interfering with future options.

The process at Evolution Hair Clinic

​

Consultation & design mapping – We assess hair calibre, coverage, skin tone, and styling goals; then outline a tailored plan.

​

Session 1 (foundation) – Light, conservative placement to establish coverage and check healing response.

​

Session 2 (refinement) – Layering for realism; we adjust dot size, spacing, and tone based on how you healed.

​

Session 3 (perfecting) – Fine-tuning small areas for a seamless finish.

​

Comfort, healing & maintenance

​

• Comfort: Most clients report mild discomfort; sessions are paced and hygienic with single-use needles.

​

• Healing: Slight redness settles quickly; you’ll follow simple aftercare for a few days.

​

• Lifestyle: Back to normal activities fast; avoid heavy sweating and strong sun initially.

​

• Longevity: Results gradually soften over years; optional refreshers keep everything looking crisp.

FAQs

​

Will people notice I’ve had something done?
They’ll notice your hair looks fuller—without being able to pinpoint why. The finish is designed to be believable at close range.

​

Do I need to cut my hair short?
Not necessarily. For thinning, we can work between existing hairs; you can keep your current length and style.

​

Is it suitable after a transplant?
Yes. Once you’re fully healed and cleared, SMP can enhance the appearance between grafts and support a more uniform, dense look.

​

How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need three sessions with an optional perfecting visit. Your plan depends on area size, hair calibre, and goals.

​

Will the colour change over time?
I select tones that heal naturally on your skin and provide clear aftercare. Occasional refreshers maintain optimal appearance.
