Simply put, SMP is the perfect buzz that doesn’t grow back. We use medical-grade micro-tattooing to give you the appearance of a full head of hair, closely shaved to create a neat, clean & natural look. With a three or four initial sessions in the chair, and then a minor touch up once every three or four years, you’ll maintain a look that compliments your own style and boosts your confidence.
SMP is lightly applied to the two top layers of the skin, the epidermis and dermis, and is far less painful than a traditional tattoo. Our SMP is customised to your style to suit your natural hair profile, and gives you lasting results so you can forget about hair-stress and just live the life you want.
We work with you, and the advice of your doctor, to find the best long-term SMP treatment for you, to give you confidence and pride in your hair regardless of where your alopecia has impacted you. We use tattoo pigments to give the appearance of a full head of hair, closely shaved to create a neat, clean & natural look, that blends areas of baldness with your existing hair.
SMP is safe for your scalp, customised to your style, and gives you lasting results so you can get back to the confident life you deserve.
Let us help you with:
Get in touch to book your free consultation, and we’ll chat in person or over a video call to go over what you can personally expect from our SMP treatments, talk about options for your new look, and get to know each other.
In our first session, you’ll be in the chair for around 3 to 4 hours while we map out your new hairline and begin working from the front, to your crown, to the back of your scalp with a light pigment. After every treatment, we use Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) to improve your recovery, and walk you through a skincare routine to give you something to show off the very next day. You’ll be back in the chair roughly two weeks later for the main SMP treatment. We adjust to how you’ve healed through the first session, and work through a darker pigment to create your ideal look.
Another two weeks later, we get you back in for around three hours to apply the finishing touches to your SMP. We focus on blending for the perfect, even colour, touching up your hairline to give you a natural-grown look, and we adjust everything to be exactly as you prefer.
After we’ve seen how you’ve taken to your new look, we can perform a fourth session to fine-tune your look. Beyond our work, we give you a full run-down on protecting your SMP with skincare, shaving instructions, and advice on making your clean style last as long as possible. Around 3 to 4 years down the road, we’ll be back in touch for a simple refresh to keep you looking your best 24/7.
We provide a trustworthy service, from our free consultation to our extensive aftercare support, you’re in good hands.
Our clinic is a beautiful, modern space on a large, serene lot. Perfectly discreet & comfortable.
Michael has over 25 years working on big budget Hollywood movies & 8 years as a professional SMP Artist.
A thoughtful, bespoke SMP process to create a unique style for your look, indistinguishable from real hair.
When we first meet and explore the possible SMP treatment process you follow, we’ll ask you to consult with your doctor to understand the extent of your condition on your hair. We use that, your natural hairline, and a lot of care and consideration to find the best way to give you long-term results. If your alopecia does impact you beyond the work we perform, we’ll be there with a touch-up so you can continue to life the confident life you deserve.
We slowly develop and build a natural hairline for your SMP treatment, so that it won’t stand out as anything other than a regular, shaved head. Combine our attention to detail with our slow, careful process & careful pigment selection, and you’ll have a clean, neat, natural-looking cut that looks just like a great buzz.
No, it’s not near the intensity of a tattoo, SMP treatments don’t penetrate as deeply as a regular tattoo would. We also provide a numbing gel and start with your hairline to reduce discomfort as much as we can. In fact, it’s not uncommon for people to fall asleep during the treatment.
