Scalp Micropigmentation in Bristol

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that uses carefully matched pigments to recreate the appearance of natural hair follicles. It can help create the look of greater hair density, define a receding hairline, and camouflage areas of hair loss or scarring.

At Pro Aesthetics in Bristol, every SMP treatment is tailored to your hair loss pattern, skin tone, existing hair, and desired result, with a focus on achieving a natural and realistic appearance.

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses specialised pigments to recreate the appearance of natural hair follicles on the scalp. It can help create the look of a fuller hairline, greater hair density or a closely shaved hairstyle.
At Pro Aesthetics, every SMP treatment is tailored to the individual. Your hair loss pattern, existing hair, skin tone and treatment goals are considered when creating a personalised treatment plan.
SMP can be used to address a range of concerns, including receding hairlines, thinning hair, visible scalp, alopecia and scalp scarring. Depending on your individual needs, the treatment can create the appearance of greater density, help define a hairline or reduce the visibility of areas affected by hair loss.
SMP does not grow new hair. Instead, it creates a cosmetic appearance designed to replicate the look of natural hair follicles.
Your treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns, assess your individual requirements and determine whether scalp micropigmentation may be a suitable option for you.

SMP for men

Many men suffer from hair loss, more specifically male pattern baldness. This is a hereditary condition that causes sudden hair loss which usually begins with receding from the hairline and thinning of the crown. Male pattern baldness is measured using the norwood scale to help identify the progression. Scalp micropigmentation can help men suffering from this condition by implanting pigment into the scalp to create the illusion of hair follicles. A full scalp treatment can give a man the look of a full head of cropped hair. As well as changing the physical appearance, scalp micropigmentation can really help someone psychologically by improving their self confidence.

SMP for Women

For women one of their biggest fears can be losing their hair. They do not usually lose their hair the same way men do and full hair loss is not as common. Women tend to lose volume in a diffuse manner around the temples and crown of the head. With scalp micropigmentation, replicated hair follicles can be deposited into the scalp between the hairs to reduce the contrast between the hair and the scalp. This will give the illusion of a full, thick head of hair, helping reduce the appearance of visible scalp and create the look of greater density. Scalp micropigmentation is not a cure for hair loss, rather it is the world’s leading solution that is giving people across the world confidence again.

SMP for Alopecia

Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss. The most common form of alopecia is areata – This is where hair loss happens in small coin sized patches that leave noticeable gaps of hair on your scalp. These patches can come and go or sometimes they connect, making bigger bald areas and leading to more severe kinds of alopecia, where full hair loss can appear across the scalp and other parts of the body. Alopecia areata can be treated by scalp micropigmentation. Rather than curing the hair loss scalp micropigmentation camouflages hair loss by implanting pigment into the the balding areas to create the illusion of hair follicles. This can also be done across the whole scalp giving the illusion of a full head of shaved hair or disguising the hair loss amongst the natural hair.

SMP for Scarring

Scarring on the scalp is usually very noticeable due to the lack of hair follicles in the scarred area. The majority of scars we see are from hair transplants whether it was follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or follicular unit extraction (FUE). Scalp micropigmentation can conceal scalp scarring by replicating hair follicles in and around the scar to help the scar to blend in with the existing hair follicles, making the scar up to 90% camouflaged. The technique used for scalp micropigmentation can also help to revive health to the damaged skin.

Can SMP Be Combined With PRP?

Scalp Micropigmentation and PRP are two different treatments that may address different hair restoration concerns.

Scalp micropigmentation for hair loss in men

PRP and Natural Hair

PRP hair restoration focuses on supporting the natural hair and existing hair follicles. It may be considered by individuals experiencing certain types of hair thinning who are looking to support their existing hair.

SMP and the Appearance of Greater Density

SMP does not grow new hair. Instead, it creates a cosmetic appearance by replicating the look of natural hair follicles or helping reduce the contrast between existing hair and visible scalp.

For individuals with thinning hair, this can help create the appearance of greater density.

A Personalised Hair Restoration Approach

Depending on your individual hair concerns and treatment goals, PRP and SMP may be discussed as part of a broader hair restoration approach.

During your consultation, we can discuss your concerns and help you understand which treatment options may be suitable for you.
