What is a Hair Tattoo?
Known as a hair tattoo, Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a safe, non-invasive way to recreate the look of hair follicles using micro-dots of pigment. It’s a great choice for those with thinning hair, bald spots, or even scarred scalp areas. Unlike body tattoos, SMP uses special pigments applied with precision to blend naturally into your existing hairline and skin.

What To Expect During Your Appointment
During Your Consultation
Your journey at Zang SMP begins the moment you step in for your first session. Right away, your technician will create a welcoming space and sit down with you to go over your hair loss background, the look you’re aiming for, and the shape of the hairline you want to achieve. A customized plan will then be developed, including pigment matching and hairline design.
During Your Treatment Sessions
The technician will proceed by placing micro-pigment dots into the scalp to simulate natural follicles. Most clients describe the process as a light tapping or pinprick-like sensation—not overly intense.
Afterward
Sessions last anywhere between 2 and 4 hours, based on how much area is being worked on. You can relax, talk with your technician, or simply enjoy the experience. Afterward, you’ll leave with visible improvements and detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
Typically, two to three sessions are required, spaced over one to two weeks. Once finished, you’ll enjoy a natural-looking finish with a clean, refreshed appearance and minimal downtime.
How Long Do Results Last?
In Pasadena, the effects of Scalp Micropigmentation tend to last around 3 to 5 years. Though the pigment may soften slightly with time, most clients only need occasional touch-ups to keep their look intact and natural.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
SMP clients in Pasadena typically undergo 2 to 3 sessions to reach their preferred appearance. These are spaced roughly 1 to 2 weeks apart to allow for healing and gradual buildup of pigment density.
Is SMP Painful?
The procedure is generally quite tolerable for Pasadena residents. Clients often say it feels like tiny pinpricks or a mild tingling sensation—less intense than a conventional tattoo thanks to the refined technique and tools used.
Maintenance Tips
Getting SMP in Pasadena? Your technician will advise you to follow a clear aftercare routine to protect your results. This typically includes:
- Hydrating the scalp regularly with a gentle moisturizer
- Avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight—use SPF or cover up outdoors
- Steering clear of chlorine-filled pools and saunas for a few days
- Returning for touch-ups every few years to maintain the effect
- Sticking to all aftercare instructions to preserve your look
