What is a Hair Tattoo?
A hair tattoo—also known as SMP—is a non-surgical way to recreate the look of natural hair growth. By placing tiny pigment dots across the scalp, it replicates the appearance of hair follicles and works well for those with hair loss, thinning patches, or scalp scars. The technique is gentler than standard tattooing and uses pigments designed to complement your hair color and skin tone.

What To Expect During Your Appointment
During Your Consultation
When you arrive for your Zang SMP appointment, the environment is designed to make you feel relaxed right away. You’ll have a detailed consultation with your technician about your hair loss journey, personal goals, and the final look you're after. This includes selecting the right pigment color and shaping a hairline that fits your features.
During Your Treatment Sessions
The treatment itself involves applying ultra-precise pigment dots to mimic the appearance of shaved hair. Most clients describe the sensation as light pinpricks—very tolerable.
Afterward
Each session runs about 2 to 4 hours depending on the level of detail required. You can unwind, listen to a podcast, or chat during the process. When it’s done, you’ll see an instant improvement, with full instructions on caring for your scalp post-treatment.
The transformation becomes most noticeable after completing 2 to 3 sessions, each spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart. Healing is fast, and the result is a fuller-looking, natural hairline.
How Long Do Results Last?
For clients in Carlsbad, SMP typically holds its look for 3 to 5 years. Natural fading may happen gradually, but periodic maintenance treatments help preserve your full, clean hairline.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
In Carlsbad, it usually takes 2 to 3 SMP appointments to reach your ideal look. These sessions are layered and planned 1 to 2 weeks apart, allowing your new style to take shape progressively.
Is SMP Painful?
Residents of Carlsbad often describe SMP as easy to sit through. It’s not as deep as a standard tattoo, so the level of discomfort is low. The micro-needles used are designed to keep the experience smooth and precise.
Maintenance Tips
Living in Carlsbad and getting SMP? Aftercare plays a key role in achieving lasting, natural-looking results. Be sure to:
- Apply moisturizer to your scalp regularly to keep it in top shape
- Protect your head from direct sun with a hat or sunscreen
- Steer clear of chlorinated water and saunas during the healing period
- Schedule maintenance sessions every few years to refresh your look
- Stick to all aftercare instructions for the best long-term outcome
