What is a Hair Tattoo?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), often called a hair tattoo, is a non-invasive procedure that mimics real hair follicles using micro-dots of pigment. It’s a great option for anyone experiencing thinning hair, bald spots, or even scarring on the scalp. Unlike traditional tattoos, SMP uses specialized pigments applied with a softer touch to blend naturally with your existing hair and skin tone.

What To Expect During Your Appointment

During Your Consultation
From the moment you arrive for your SMP session at Zang SMP, you’ll feel comfortable and cared for. Your technician will start by discussing your hair loss experience, your desired outcome, and the overall style you’re aiming for. Together, you'll craft a customized treatment plan—choosing pigment tones and designing your ideal hairline.

During Your Treatment Sessions
During the session, your technician will apply incredibly fine pigment dots to your scalp, simulating real hair follicles. Most people say it feels like light pinpricks—nothing too intense.

Afterward
Sessions usually take between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the coverage needed. You’re free to relax, enjoy some music, or chat throughout. You'll leave the appointment with immediate visual improvement and clear aftercare steps to follow.
After 2 to 3 sessions, spaced about 1 to 2 weeks apart, you’ll see the final, fuller effect. The healing is quick, and the end result is a realistic, refreshed look.
How Long Do Results Last?
In Newport Beach, those who choose SMP can expect results to stay sharp for around 3 to 5 years. Though slight fading can occur with time, a quick touch-up every few years keeps your look clean and realistic.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Newport Beach clients usually need between 2 to 3 SMP sessions to perfect their desired style. Each visit enhances coverage and detail, spaced roughly 1 to 2 weeks apart to ensure optimal results.
Is SMP Painful?
Most people in Newport Beach find SMP very tolerable. The sensation is often compared to a mild tattoo but with less intensity. Since the pigment is applied closer to the surface and with fine needles, any discomfort is typically minimal.
Maintenance Tips
If you're in Newport Beach and considering SMP, it’s important to follow proper aftercare for the best results. This typically includes:
- Keeping your scalp moisturized to maintain healthy skin
- Limiting time in direct sunlight—use SPF or wear a hat when outdoors
- Avoiding saunas and chlorinated pools right after your sessions
- Booking touch-up treatments every few years to keep your results fresh
- Following the full aftercare routine to help your look last
