Hair tattoo for baldness
A hair tattoo for baldness recreates the look of a full, shaved head. Ideal for men with male pattern baldness or receding hairlines, SMP replicates hair follicles, creating the appearance of a shaved head.
This cosmetic treatment delivers great results, building a new, natural-looking hairline that complements your features.
Scalp tattoo for thinning hair
Those struggling with thinning hair suffer from a loss of self-confidence. By getting a scalp tattoo for thinning hair, you can create the appearance of fuller, thicker hair. This can restore confidence in social and professional settings.
This versatile treatment works for both men and women, whether they are experiencing early hair thinning, patchy baldness, or advanced hair loss. It offers immediate visual improvement.
SMP for Alopecia
Alopecia hair tattoos can be customised to match skin tone and hair colour. It is suitable for all forms of alopecia, including alopecia areata, alopecia universalis, alopecia totalis, and scarring alopecia. It can easily complement your ongoing treatments or medication.
Using tiny pigments to mimic natural hair follicles, SMP camouflages alopecia patches, scars, and bald spots. The result is a natural, realistic look, as seen in our SMP Before and After images.
SMP for scarring
SMP for scarring can camouflage scars on the scalp caused by injuries, surgeries, or hair transplants. SMP blends the scarred areas with the surrounding hair, creating a seamless, natural look.
This non-invasive procedure can cover linear scars from FUT hair transplants, small spots from FUE procedures, and scars from other causes. As seen with our clients, SMP provides long-lasting results that improve the overall appearance of the scalp.
SMP for women
Hair thinning is common with age and hormonal changes, but SMP provides a permanent solution by replicating hair follicles with natural-looking pigments.
Unlike temporary treatments like colouring, backcombing, or wigs, women’s hairline tattoos require minimal maintenance and deliver immediate results. Check out our female hair tattoo Before and After photos.
Beard Tattoo
For men struggling with patchy beards, uneven growth, or thinning facial hair, SMP can replicate natural-looking hair follicles, providing a more consistent beard line.
The pigments are matched to your natural hair colour and skin tone, ensuring seamless, realistic results. This procedure is long-lasting, with upkeep needed every few years. Check out the results of our beard tattoos here.
Hair Transplant Enhancement
Many people get a hair transplant and then are dissatisfied with the results. They can opt for SMP to complement their hair transplants, as it adds the appearance of fullness and blends seamlessly with natural hair.
It is generally recommended to wait 12 months after the procedure, allowing the transplanted hair to grow and the scalp to heal. SMP after hair transplants can give the appearance of thick hair, fill gaps between grafts, and camouflage scars.
SMP Refresh/Boost
Over time, scalp micropigmentation can naturally fade due to factors like sun exposure, skin type, and ageing. SMP repair and refresh services are designed to restore the look of your original treatment.
Whether your SMP has faded or needs adjustments to improve its appearance, a refresh session can add new pigments, enhance density, or adjust colour tones for a more natural look.
Repair services can also address any imperfections from previous treatments done elsewhere. This quick, non-invasive process rejuvenates your SMP results, giving you long-lasting, natural-looking hair density with minimal downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Scalp Micropigmentation Work?
SMP involves applying small pigments to the scalp to recreate the look of hair follicles. At Hair Ink Gold Coast, our skilled technician uses a specialised micro-needle to place pigment in the upper layers of the skin in a dot pattern. This will give you the look of closely shaved hair and add density to thinning areas.
Typically completed over 3-4 SMP sessions, the pigment is gradually built up for natural-looking results. Each treatment is customised to match the client’s hair loss pattern, skin tone, and hair colour for a personalised, realistic finish.
SMP is suitable for men and women of all ages. For men, it can address male pattern baldness, while women can benefit from SMP for alopecia, hair thinning, or balding.
Does SMP Look Natural?
Yes, SMP is crafted to look entirely natural. The pigments are carefully selected to match your skin tone and hair colour, blending smoothly with your existing hair. When done by a skilled technician, like the team at Hair Ink Gold Coast, the results are subtle and virtually undetectable, even up close.
Will A Scalp Tattoo Fade?
SMP is a long-lasting cosmetic solution, with results generally lasting 3-5 years before any noticeable fading. Skin type, sun exposure, metabolism, and lifestyle can influence the longevity of the scalp tattoo.
To maintain a fresh and natural look, touch-ups are usually recommended every few years. Although some fading is expected, it happens gradually, allowing for simple upkeep without dramatic changes to your appearance.
What If I Lose More Hair In The Future?
One of the benefits of a hair tattoo is the ability to increase coverage as needed. This also applies to enhancing density or thickness in specific areas. SMP offers long-term flexibility, allowing adjustments based on the degree of hair loss you may experience over time.
Will Scalp Micropigmentation Hurt?
Scalp tattoos typically cause minimal discomfort. The feeling is often compared to light scratching or mild irritation. The procedure is generally less painful than traditional tattooing. For people with alopecia or skin conditions, the scalp may be more sensitive in areas with hair loss.
How Much Does SMP Cost?
The cost depends on the extent of your hair loss. The amount of hair loss informs how many sessions you’ll need. Before your procedure, our team will offer a personalised consultation. They will provide a cost for SMP treatment.
Is There A Guarantee?
Yes, at Hair Ink Gold Coast, we offer a 12-month guarantee from the last session. This guarantee is only valid for clients who have attended all sessions required to finish the treatment.
