An innovative and versatile solution for hair loss.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
At The Hairfront, we are proud to offer Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), an innovative and versatile solution for hair loss. SMP is a precise cosmetic tattooing technique designed to replicate natural hair follicles, helping you achieve the appearance of denser, thicker hair or a shaven, stylish hairline.
What is SMP?
SMP involves applying medical-grade pigments to the scalp using micro-needles to create the look of natural hair follicles. Whether you want to enhance density or achieve a closely cropped appearance, SMP provides long-lasting, realistic results.
Pricing
Treatment prices range from R6000 per session to R10,000 per session for full head. Usually 3 sessions are recommended. Discount package prices can be discussed.
Who Can Benefit from SMP?
SMP is ideal for:
Thinning Hair: Creates the illusion of fuller, denser hair.
Shaven Look: Gives a clean, buzz-cut style for men experiencing significant hair loss.
Scar Coverage: Conceals scars from previous hair transplants or injuries.
Post-Transplant Enhancement: Perfect as a complementary treatment to maximize hair transplant results.
What To Expect
Consultation: We’ll assess your scalp, understand your hair loss pattern, and create a custom plan tailored to your goals.
Treatment: SMP usually involves 2–3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Each session lasts 2–4 hours, depending on the treatment area.
Recovery: SMP has minimal downtime, so most clients can resume normal activities within a day.
Results: Immediate improvement is noticeable, with the final polished look achieved after the final session.
