Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
#1 NON-SURGICAL PERMANENT HAIR LOSS TREATMENT
HAIR LOSS SHOULDN’T BE PUBLIC INFORMATION.
LET OUR TRAINED PROFESSIONALS HELP YOU.
Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive treatment that uses micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. The results mimic the appearance of tiny hair follicles that help individuals appear to have a thicker and fuller head of hair.
At SWEET Brows & SMP we understand how personal hair loss can be. Our highly trained team enjoys taking time to get to know each of the clients and their needs. Appointments are never rushed and the job isn’t done until both the artist and client are happy with the results. Our artist are honest and straight forward. We will never push you to do something you are uncomfortable with. We will explain the procedure from start to finish. Each client also leaves their appointment with a complimentary aftercare swag bag.

Scalp Micropigmentation
- A non-invasive technique that uses a specialized tattooing pen to deposit pigment into the dermis (the second layer of the skin).

Scalp Micropigmentation Options
- Full/Half Scalp Micropigmentation mimics the look of a freshly shaven scalp. Our skilled artists will work with you to create a new hairline that is tailored to fit your facial features and lifestyle. We will focus on what hairline will provide you with the most natural and realistic look. Your hair must be shaved and kept short to blend in with the SMP work.
- Soft and broken hairlines are the most natural
- Defined edges give a stylish and sharp freshly-barbered look
- Original hairline restoration will give you back the hairline you used to have
- Density Fillings create the appearance of a fuller looking scalp. Pigment will be deposited in the areas where your hair is thinning. Our highly trained artist will work with you to identify your target areas and create the ideal follicle color to add density to your hairstyle. Your hair must be full and long enough to comb over the pigmented area. Some men and women may not qualify for this treatment if their hair has thinned out too far.
- Scar Camouflage can be used to cover up most types of scars on the scalp. Our SMP artists are able to camouflage most scars by creating tiny dots of pigment that mimic the look of hair follicles. This technique will minimize the obvious skin color on your scalp created by your scar.

- FUE and FUT donor scars
- Scars as a result from an accident
