What is a Hair Tattoo?
SMP, short for Scalp Micropigmentation, is often referred to as a hair tattoo. It’s a non-surgical method that uses ultra-fine pigment dots to imitate the look of real hair follicles. Perfect for addressing hair thinning, bald spots, or scars, SMP delivers a realistic result that blends with your natural coloring using specially formulated pigments.

What To Expect During Your Appointment
During Your Consultation
At Zang SMP, your hair tattoo session starts with a relaxed conversation about your goals and hair loss concerns. You’ll work directly with your technician to create a tailored plan, including pigment color matching and a customized hairline design that works for your features.
During Your Treatment Sessions
As the session begins, the technician gently applies micro-dots of pigment to your scalp, replicating the look of natural follicles. Clients often say it feels like a light tapping sensation—easy to manage and not too uncomfortable.
Afterward
Appointments last between 2 to 4 hours, depending on your specific needs. You can use the time to decompress, listen to your favorite playlist, or have a casual chat with the technician. After your session, you’ll see immediate changes and receive complete aftercare guidance.
The full results come after 2 to 3 treatments, spaced about a week or two apart. The scalp heals quickly, leaving you with a clean, natural-looking appearance.
How Long Do Results Last?
Riverside clients can enjoy their SMP results for 3 to 5 years on average. The pigments do gradually fade, but occasional refresh sessions will keep your hairline looking sharp and natural.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
If you're in Riverside, expect about 2 to 3 sessions to achieve the full effect. The process is gradual, with appointments typically spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart to allow for detail and density building.
Is SMP Painful?
In Riverside, most people find SMP quite comfortable. It feels like a light tattoo session but is generally easier thanks to the surface-level pigment placement and ultra-fine needles used.
Maintenance Tips
For those in Riverside who undergo SMP, proper care after your treatment can make all the difference. General guidelines include:
- Keeping your scalp well-moisturized to support healing
- Using sun protection or a hat when outdoors to prevent fading
- Avoiding swimming pools and saunas immediately post-procedure
- Planning for occasional touch-ups to maintain your style
- Carefully following aftercare steps to ensure the most natural results
