Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that creates the appearance of fuller hair using carefully applied pigments on the scalp.
At CFH, your scalp and hair-loss pattern are assessed before recommending whether SMP is right for you.
We don't recommend treatments because we offer them. The CFH S.U.R.E.™ Method is our doctor-led approach to understanding whether SMP makes sense for you.
A detailed scalp and hair assessment before discussing whether SMP is appropriate.
We understand your hair-loss pattern, history, lifestyle and expectations before recommending anything.
We recommend SMP or another suitable option based on your needs.
We monitor the result and recommend follow-up or touch-ups when appropriate.
Making the right decision is just as important as getting the right treatment.
Scalp Micropigmentation is a cosmetic procedure where specialised pigments are carefully applied to the scalp to create the appearance of natural hair follicles. It can create the visual effect of a closely shaved head or greater-looking hair density.

Pigment is applied carefully to the scalp.
The scalp begins its healing process and the appearance develops.
The result becomes clearer as the scalp settles.
Follow-up helps evaluate the result and determine whether touch-up care is appropriate.
The number of sessions and final appearance can vary from person to person. SMP typically requires 2–3 sessions, depending on the desired density and appearance.
SMP is long-lasting, but pigment fading can occur and periodic touch-ups may be recommended.
