Scalp Micropigmentation in Southlake (SMP)

SMP, or Scalp Micropigmentation, is a non-surgical and highly precise procedure where pigments are applied to the upper layer of the scalp to replicate the look of individual hair follicles. This creates the appearance of fuller hair and restores visual density in thinning areas. Residents of Southlake frequently choose SMP to achieve a sharp, buzzed hairstyle, improve thinning patches, or enhance previous hair transplant results with realistic density.

Clients in Southlake generally need at least two sessions spaced about a week apart. The first session may lighten slightly during healing, making the second session critical for reinforcing pigment and refining detail. A third session within one to three months may be recommended for the most polished and long-lasting results.

SMP sessions typically last two to four hours. The first appointment is the longest because it involves designing a custom hairline and placing foundational pigment. Subsequent sessions are shorter, concentrating on pigment reinforcement and detailed refinement.

Hairline design is a collaborative effort between the client and the SMP specialist. In Southlake, your facial structure, personal goals, and preferences are carefully considered to produce a natural, flattering, and individualized hairline.

Once three sessions are complete, clients can enjoy their results while following aftercare instructions. Southlake clients are provided a one-year warranty covering touch-ups if fading occurs. Most clients will not require further treatments for several years.

For most Southlake clients, SMP touch-ups are usually not necessary for five to eight years. While the treatment is intended to provide long-lasting results, sun exposure and aging can gradually reduce pigment intensity over time.

Following SMP, clients should carefully follow all aftercare instructions. Avoid water contact, refrain from high-sweat activities, and postpone haircuts for four days. Hats and normal sleeping positions are allowed. A detailed PDF guide is provided to ensure complete aftercare compliance.

Correct. SMP is non-invasive and does not require downtime. Most Southlake clients are able to return to work or regular daily routines immediately. Following the aftercare instructions ensures proper healing and long-term results.

Immediately following treatment, pigment may appear darker and mild redness may occur. These effects usually fade within two to three days. Once fully healed, the pigment appears natural and is difficult for others to detect.

Most clients find SMP significantly less painful than traditional tattooing. Our team prioritizes comfort, making each session smooth, relaxed, and stress-free.

At your consultation, our team will review your scalp and discuss your goals to design a plan that fits your daily routine. Clients in Southlake with Norwood 6–7 hair loss generally need to maintain a clean-shaven style because SMP does not grow with surrounding hair and leaving hair longer may create uneven results.

Clients pursuing density enhancement can have pigment applied into existing hair, which works well for thinning areas in the crown or front. This allows some hair length to be preserved while creating the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.

Yes, SMP is highly effective for hiding scars from past FUE or FUT hair transplant procedures, as well as scars from other trauma. Many Southlake clients report significant confidence improvements once pigment is carefully applied to smooth and even out the scalp surface.

If SMP is being used for density or scar coverage, hair can stay at normal length. Clients classified as Norwood 6–7 should shave prior to treatment and maintain this shaved style afterward to ensure uniform, natural results.

During your consultation, we provide detailed guidance for maintaining SMP results. Southlake clients receive personalized aftercare instructions to help prolong pigment vibrancy, and a complimentary consultation can outline a complete maintenance plan tailored to their scalp and hair goals.

Shaving the head does not interfere with SMP. It is part of normal grooming, and we provide guidance on proper shaving techniques and scalp-care products. Southlake clients may also refer to our product guide to help maintain pigment and scalp health.

No, daily shaving does not disturb SMP results. Pigments are applied to the upper layers of the skin, so regular grooming and cleansing do not affect outcomes. Many Southlake clients maintain a shaved appearance without fading or irritation.
