What is (SMP) Scalp Micropigmentation?
It’s one of the most common questions we get at SMPLondon – and a fair one. If you’re considering it, you deserve to know exactly what it is and how it can help.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical treatment that uses specialised pigments and micro-needles to replicate the look of real hair follicles on the scalp. It creates the appearance of fuller hair, restores receding hairlines, and adds density to thinning areas – giving you a sharp, clean, and natural look.
While SMP doesn’t regrow hair, the technique itself can sometimes stimulate the scalp and improve circulation, which may support natural hair health. But the true power of SMP lies in how it transforms your look – instantly.
At SMPLondon, every treatment starts with a full scalp assessment. We take into account your existing hair, skin tone, growth direction, and follicle pattern to design a result that blends in perfectly. We match pigments to your natural tones and map out your ideal hairline – so the end result is subtle, sharp, and totally bespoke.
Is Scalp Micropigmentation for Everyone ?
Yes, SMP Works for All Ages, Skin Tones, Hair Colours & Stages of Hair Loss
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a versatile, non-surgical hair loss solution designed to work for everyone. Whether you're in your 20s or 60s, have fair or dark skin, light or dark hair, or are experiencing early thinning or complete baldness – SMP can deliver natural-looking results tailored to you.
At SMPLondon, we customise every treatment to match your unique skin tone and hair colour, creating a seamless blend that mimics real hair follicles. It’s an effective solution for all ethnicities, genders, and hair loss types – from receding hairlines to alopecia or scarring.
No matter your background or stage of hair loss, SMP gives you back control, confidence, and a sharp, defined look.

How much does it cost to have (SMP) Scalp Micropigmentation?
Transparent Treatment Cost
At SMP London, we keep things simple and transparent. The scalp is divided into 6 key sections, and each section is priced at £500. This allows us to tailor your treatment based on the areas you actually need covered — no overcharging, no guesswork.
Hairline
Top of the Scalp
Crown
Back of the Head
Left Side
Right Side
So, for example, if you only need the hairline and top done, that’s £1,000. A full scalp treatment (all 6 sections) would be £3,000. We’ll go over everything during your consultation, map out what you need, and give you a clear quote upfront — no surprises.
