What is Density SMP?
Density Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair loss solution designed to make thinning hair appear fuller and thicker by implanting tiny pigment dots between existing hair follicles. This advanced technique is ideal for men and women experiencing hair thinning, especially around the crown, hairline, or parting.
At Head Ink SMP, we specialise in creating natural-looking density for clients with fine or diffuse hair loss using precision tools and colour-matched pigments. Whether you're dealing with early-stage hair loss or looking to enhance the results of a hair transplant, scalp micropigmentation for density offers immediate, long-lasting results with no downtime—making it one of the most effective and low-maintenance hair restoration options available.

What is the process?
1. Free Consultation & Scalp Analysis
We begin with a complimentary consultation, where we:
Assess your hair density and pattern of hair loss
Determine if you’re an ideal candidate for density SMP
Match pigment to your natural hair colour and skin tone
Create a tailored treatment plan based on your hair type and goals
2. First Session – Laying the Foundation
Using specialised SMP equipment, we implant microdots of pigment between your existing hair follicles
This creates a shadow effect, reducing the contrast between your scalp and hair
The first layer builds a natural base of density and coverage
Session time varies depending on the size of the thinning area, typically ranging from 2–3 hours.
3. Second Session – Building Density
7–14 days later, you return for your second session
We layer additional pigment to increase the illusion of fullness
Focused attention is given to sparser areas such as the crown, temples, or part line
Adjustments are made to match the natural flow and growth pattern of your hair
4. Optional Final Session – Refinement
If needed, a third session is scheduled to touch up any light spots
Ensures colour consistency, even blending, and a seamless finish
5. Aftercare & Maintenance
After each session, we provide detailed aftercare instructions including:
Avoiding excessive sweating, swimming, or sun exposure for 4–5 days
Keeping the scalp clean and moisturised
Recommending when to resume regular hair washing and shaving/trimming routines
Most clients can return to work the same day or next day, with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Do I need to shave my hair for density treatment?
Discover the wonders of SMP density treatments, where shaving your head is not a requirement. Unlike the SMP shaved look, our innovative approach focuses on creating the illusion of thicker and denser hair by strategically applying pigment around your existing hair follicles. You can maintain your desired hair length throughout the procedure, maximizing convenience and flexibility.
While we recommend trimming your hair to your preferred length for enhanced visibility and precision during treatment, we respect your unique style choices. During the consultation, our experts will assess your specific needs, considering factors like your current hair density, desired outcome, and aesthetic goals. With a customized approach, we'll help you achieve the desired density while embracing your preferred hair length. Say hello to fuller, more vibrant hair with SMP density treatments.
What happens if my hair turns grey in the future?
One of the most common questions we receive at Head Ink SMP is: "What happens if my hair turns grey after I’ve had density scalp micropigmentation?" The good news is — SMP remains effective and natural-looking, even as your hair greys over time.
Unlike traditional tattoos, Scalp Micropigmentation is applied at a much shallower depth, and the pigment is designed to fade gradually over the years. As your natural hair begins to grey, the microdots of pigment also soften in appearance. This gentle fading creates a natural, seamless blend with your evolving hair colour — ensuring that your SMP treatment continues to look realistic, balanced, and undetectable.
Grey Hair? No Problem. Here’s How SMP Adapts:
The pigment fades subtly to match the soft tones of greying hair
No harsh contrast between your SMP and your natural hair colour
You can adjust or delay touch-ups to suit your greying process
Still achieves the illusion of density, even with lighter hair
For best results, we recommend periodic maintenance sessions, which can be customised to suit your hair’s natural greying. If you notice your hair turning lighter over time, we’ll simply adjust the pigment tone during future touch-ups to maintain a soft, blended look.
Embrace the Future with Confidence
Scalp Micropigmentation is a versatile, future-proof solution for hair thinning and loss. Whether your hair remains dark or turns grey, Density SMP will continue to enhance the appearance of fuller, thicker hair—naturally and effortlessly.

Typically, most people will need a touchup session every 3 to 5 years to maintain the colour. Scalp Micropigmentation is a semi-permanent procedure that can last over 10 years with proper care. However, as your skin naturally sheds its layers and absorbs the pigment, the treatment will gradually fade and may need touchups. Individual factors, such as sun exposure and skin type (dry or oily), can influence how quickly this occurs.
Head Ink SMP offers a 3 month treatment guarantee to cover any fading or changes to hairline.
-
Consultation: The initial step is to arrange a consultation with a Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) specialist. During this meeting, the specialist will evaluate your hair loss and discuss your goals and expectations for the treatment.
Design: If you decide to proceed with SMP, the specialist will develop a personalised design based on the shape of your head, hairline, and your desired hair density and colour.
Treatment: SMP typically requires 3-4 sessions over 3-4 weeks. In each session, the specialist uses micro-needles to apply pigment to your scalp, gradually creating the look of hair follicles. The procedure is generally painless with no downtime, so you can continue your daily activities right after each session.
Aftercare: Following each session, you'll need to adhere to specific aftercare instructions for optimal healing and results. For example, for the first 3 days, avoid getting your scalp wet, sweating excessively, sun exposure, and using hair products.
Maintenance: While SMP is a durable solution for hair loss, occasional touch-ups may be necessary to maintain its appearance over time. The frequency of touch-ups will depend on factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, and desired hair density.
Overall, Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a safe and effective method for addressing hair loss, offering natural-looking results with minimal upkeep. If you’re dealing with hair loss, SMP might be the solution you need to restore your confidence and achieve a look you’re happy with.

Most clients rate the pain from 2 to 5 out of 10, often describing it as more of an irritating itch than actual pain. The front temples, hairline, and sides of the head are usually the most uncomfortable areas due to the concentration of nerve endings there. For those with very low pain tolerance, numbing cream is available.
-
Most clients resume work the day after their treatment session. Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure with no associated downtime. You will only need to follow the 4-day aftercare instructions provided before each treatment.
-
It’s essential to follow our 4-day post-treatment instructions to avoid excessive fading and contamination. Specifically, this means avoid from touching, washing, cutting your hair, or engaging in workouts during the first 4 days.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) and hair transplants address hair loss in different ways. SMP is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny pigment dots to replicate the appearance of shaved hair, giving the illusion of fuller hair and natural growth. It delivers immediate results with minimal downtime.
On the other hand, hair transplants involve surgically relocating hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another to encourage natural hair growth. This method is more invasive, with longer recovery periods and potential complications.
While SMP provides a realistic look of thicker hair, it does not stimulate actual hair growth. Hair transplants can restore real hair growth but may not be suitable for everyone due to factors like cost, recovery time, and variable outcomes. The decision between SMP and hair transplants depends on individual needs and preferences.
