What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

what is smp

Many people think that scalp micropigmentation hair restoration is just a hair tattoo. The truth is, the procedure is more than that. It is a medical procedure designed to help those who cannot grow sufficient hair. The procedure produces a more natural look due to the pigments applied within the scalp's dermal layer. The SMP hair treatment is preferred by many people suffering from hair loss because it allows them to enhance the shape of various body features as a cosmetic procedure.

It is a procedure that is meant to last for years after it is done. Not only does it create a perception of fuller hair, but it also helps the patient feel confident in his or her appearance. People suffering from hair loss have several options of treatment to pursue to get the best results. These treatments use the latest techniques and technologies meant to cater to all sorts of hair loss conditions in men and women.

If you have lost a significant amount of hair in your scalp, then opting for the scalp micropigmentation procedure is ideal. At Beverly Hills Hair Restoration, Dr. Kahen mimics the appearance of real hair by applying the Trico pigmentation technique in his scalp micropigmentation procedure.

What Makes the Scalp Micropigmentation Process Effective?

What makes the SMP hair treatment more effective is the work that goes into it. Dr. Kahen uses many different needles, depths, angles, pigment colors, and distribution rates to achieve the best and most natural-looking results. Moreover, there are several factors that the doctor looks into when treating hair loss using the scalp micropigmentation procedure. They include the patient's skin tone and the size of the area that needs to be treated with the scalp micropigmentation procedure.

The only technique that offers the desired results in cosmetic pigmentation procedures is scalp micropigmentation. The needles that are used to perform the SMP therapy in BHHR do not penetrate the scalp as deep as other tattoo methods. The patient’s personal hair restoration goals are achieved by using micro-fine needles in triple clusters. Besides that, the pigments used are of the highest quality. This means that they don't blur or fade with time.

If you want to receive our outstanding SMP treatment, all you need to do is book a consultation with a scalp micropigmentation specialist at BHHR in Palm Desert.

Our technician will explain to you what the SMP hair treatment is all about and what you can do to prepare yourself before, during, and after the procedure. All this is done during the consultation.

Below are some of the guidelines that you need to adhere to in SMP hair treatment:

  • Take a shower before the SMP process begins. This is recommended because you won't be able to wet/wash your treatment area until the four days are over.
  • During an SMP hair treatment, the treatment sessions take about four or five hours
  • The size of the SMP treatment area will be a deciding factor for the number of sessions that a patient will have to take to get desirable results. If you want to achieve long-term retention, you will need to undergo two to three sessions regardless of the size of the treatment area. The reason is that it involves color layering.
  • The scalp micropigmentation sessions will be placed a few weeks apart to get the best-desired results.

In the weeks between treatment sessions, the patient should avoid visiting saunas, swimming, or using steam baths, as this may cause a steam storm and mess up the results. Once you have undergone scalp micropigmentation treatment, you should avoid exposing your scalp to direct sunlight for 48 hours. Once the four days are over, you can wear a hat if you like. On the fifth day, you can expose the treatment area to the sun for 45 minutes or an hour if your skin is fair. For longer retention, you should avoid exposing your skin to direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before the treatment begins, the practitioner will explain everything you should expect before, during, and after the procedure. You will need to follow instructions if you want to get good results. You will need to pluck or shave your hair 48 hours before the treatment. However, this is not a requirement for all SMP hair treatments. Before the procedure starts, you should ensure that you have had a proper meal. You are allowed to bring snacks and drinks with you. You can also distract yourself by watching movies or listening to music during the procedure.


Many people have this perception that the procedure is painful because it involves needles. However, this isn't the case because only the scalp's outer layer is treated. The amount of pain that patients feel during an SMP hair treatment varies


The practitioner will tell you about the care that you need to observe after an SMP treatment once it is over. Aftercare instructions after a scalp micropigmentation procedure include:

  • Avoid touching the treatment area after the procedure
  • Refrain from having shower as the water may hit the treatment area
  • Avoid shaving the treatment area until ten days are over
  • Strenuous activities that cause you to sweat should be avoided
  • Direct sunlight is not allowed after the procedure
  • Swimming is also prohibited because it will soak the scalp area that was treated with SMP
  • Visiting saunas, steam rooms, or bathing with hot water is not recommended because they make you sweat
  • Don't use shampoos or moisturizers in that treatment zone
  • The treatment area should always stay clean and dry after the procedure


There are hardly any issues after the SMP hair treatment because it is quite safe. Patients may experience redness or swelling in the treatment area in some rare cases. After a few days, the redness and swelling will subside. It is an indication of infection if the swelling continues, you feel some pain, or it becomes red. An infection may also cause fever. If this happens, you need to call your practitioner immediately.


In rare cases, you may experience itchiness or redness in the scalp. However, as the area heals, the redness and itchiness will disappear. In very rare cases, the patient may experience severe side effects. Other complications may appear after the SMP hair treatment. These side effects include redness at the time of the pigment treatment in the target area. An allergic reaction may occur if the patient is allergic to pigment. Infection may occur if the instruments are not properly sterilized. To avoid some of these side effects, ensure that you only seek treatment from professional clinics that have a reputation to protect. Clinics such as Beverly Hills Hair Restoration maintain high hygiene and safety standards.Read more


A scalp micropigmentation procedure offers a semi-permanent solution because it takes around eight years for the pigment to start wearing out or fading away. Since it is just like a tattoo, you should always seek services from professionals. If the procedure is poorly done, it can be very expensive to remove the pigment and redo the entire procedure all over again.
