Scalp Micropigmentation in Keller (SMP)

Scalp Micropigmentation, or SMP, is a non-surgical, highly refined technique in which pigments are gently applied to the surface layer of the scalp to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles. This procedure restores the visual density of thinning areas and creates the illusion of fuller hair. Many residents of Keller choose SMP to achieve a clean, buzzed look, enhance thinning hair, or supplement the results of previous hair transplants, producing realistic and long-lasting effects.

Typically, clients in Keller require a minimum of two sessions spaced roughly seven days apart. The initial session may fade slightly as the scalp heals, making the second session essential for pigment reinforcement and precise detail. In some cases, a third session within one to three months can further refine results for optimal appearance.

SMP sessions usually take between two and four hours. The first appointment is the longest because it involves the design of a custom hairline and the application of foundational pigment. Later sessions are shorter, concentrating on pigment reinforcement and meticulous detail work.

Designing the hairline in Keller is a collaborative process. Your SMP technician carefully considers facial structure, personal preferences, and hair restoration goals to create a natural and flattering hairline.

After completing three SMP sessions, clients can enjoy their results while following the recommended aftercare instructions. Keller residents are offered a one-year warranty covering touch-ups if any fading occurs. Most clients do not require additional treatments for multiple years.

For most Keller clients, touch-ups are not necessary for a period of five to eight years. While SMP is designed to be long-lasting, pigment may gradually lighten due to sun exposure or natural skin aging.

Following SMP, clients should strictly adhere to aftercare guidelines. Avoid water contact, refrain from sweating excessively, and postpone haircuts for four days. Wearing hats and sleeping normally is permitted. Clients receive a complete PDF guide with detailed instructions.

Correct. SMP is minimally invasive and does not require any downtime. Most Keller residents return to work or daily activities immediately. Proper adherence to aftercare ensures the best possible healing and long-term results.

Immediately following treatment, pigment may appear darker and mild redness may be present. These effects generally subside within two to three days. Once healed, the pigment mimics natural hair follicles and is difficult for others to detect.

Most clients report that SMP is much less uncomfortable than traditional tattooing. Our team emphasizes comfort and ensures each session is easy, smooth, and stress-free.

During your consultation, our experts will evaluate your scalp and discuss your goals in order to create a treatment plan that fits your daily routine seamlessly. Clients in Keller with Norwood 6–7 hair loss generally need to keep a clean-shaven appearance because SMP does not grow naturally with surrounding hair and longer hair could produce inconsistent results.

Clients seeking density enhancement can have pigment applied into existing hair, which is ideal for thinning in the crown or frontal areas. This approach allows some hair length to be maintained while providing the appearance of fuller, denser hair.

Yes, SMP is very effective at concealing scars from prior FUE or FUT hair transplant procedures, as well as scars caused by trauma. Keller clients often report noticeable improvements in confidence after pigment is carefully applied to create a smooth, uniform scalp surface.

If the SMP procedure is intended for density enhancement or scar coverage, hair should remain at normal length. Clients categorized as Norwood 6–7 should shave prior to treatment and maintain this shaved style afterward to achieve consistent results.

During your consultation, we provide full guidance for maintaining SMP results. Keller clients receive individualized aftercare instructions that help maximize pigment longevity, and a complimentary consultation can provide a thorough maintenance plan tailored to the client’s needs.

Shaving does not affect SMP. It is part of normal scalp grooming, and we provide advice on appropriate shaving tools and scalp-care products. Keller clients may consult our product guide to maintain optimal pigment and scalp health.

No, regular shaving does not interfere with SMP. Pigments are placed in the upper layers of the scalp, so daily grooming or cleansing does not impact results. Many Keller clients maintain a shaved appearance without fading or irritation.
