Scalp Tattoo for Baldness

Understanding scalp micropigmentation techniques

SMP deposits pigment in patterns that resemble short hair growth. It does not generate new hair but reduces contrast between scalp and hair. Colour and density are refined over multiple sessions for a natural effect. Sessions usually last two to four hours, with follow-ups scheduled for healing and gradual build-up.

• SMP for cosmetic coverage without surgery
• PRP or GFC for potential follicle stimulation
• Hair transplant (FUE) for surgical hair relocation
• Microneedling to support scalp health

Many choose SMP for immediate coverage and simpler maintenance compared to ongoing regrowth therapies.

When scalp tattoo is considered

SMP can help in cases of:

• Full baldness with preference for a shaved look
• Patchy hair loss such as alopecia areata
• Low hair density where scalp contrast is high
• Scarring alopecia where transplant is not possible

Conditions like psoriasis or folliculitis should be treated before pigment work. Alloroots offers scalp psoriasis care and scalp folliculitis treatment to prepare skin for safe SMP.

Other hair loss and scalp care options

Some combine SMP with treatments aimed at preserving or improving hair growth. At Alloroots these include:

• Male hair loss treatment with personalised diagnosis and medical therapy
• Female hair loss treatment addressing hormonal and genetic factors
• Microneedling for hair growth to aid scalp regeneration

Combination plans are created after assessment. Before and after images are shared only with patient consent.
