Planned before any pigment is placed
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) places fine pigment in the scalp to create the look of fuller, denser hair. It suits thinning hair, alopecia, and scarring, with treatment sized to the area, from a small crown or thinning patch to the full scalp.
SMP does not grow hair; it creates the appearance of density. Your consultation covers a customizable hairline design, a treatment map, and realistic expectations before any pigment is placed.

What to expect
Consultation
We talk through your goals, skin, and any prior work or health history, so the plan fits you.
Design & mapping
Meixiang maps shape and placement and chooses pigment to suit your features and undertone.
Application
Single-use sterile tools and topical numbing. Most clients feel mild pressure or scratching.
Healing & touch-up
Follow the aftercare we send. A perfecting touch-up after healing is included in many services.
Is it right for you?
We may decline or reschedule if you are pregnant or nursing, have certain skin conditions, uncontrolled diabetes, an active infection, or recently used strong retinol or acids on the area. Share your history at consultation.
Healing & aftercare
- First 24–48 hours. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid makeup, sweating, saunas, and swimming. Blot gently if needed. Do not rub.
- Healing week. Color looks darker at first, then lightens as it flakes. Do not pick. Use only the aftercare ointment we recommend.
- Long term. Use SPF on healed areas when outdoors. Ask us before any harsh peels or laser over the area.
