Scalp Micropigmentation
Male Pattern Baldness (Norwood 3–7)
Male pattern baldness doesn't have to mean a shiny scalp. Scalp micropigmentation recreates the look of a full, freshly-buzzed head of hair — thousands of tiny pigment impressions that match your follicles — for coverage anywhere on the Norwood scale, up to a fully bald Norwood 7.
Who it’s for
- ✓Thinning crown or vertex

- ✓Fully bald or shaved heads
- ✓Anyone who likes a clean, buzzed look

Male Pattern Baldness (Norwood 3–7) — FAQ
How advanced can my hair loss be?+
We cover all the way up to Norwood 7 (fully bald). More coverage just means a few more sessions.
Do I have to shave my head?+
SMP looks best on a buzzed or shaved head, since it recreates the look of short stubble. We'll talk through the right length for you.
Will people be able to tell?+
Done correctly, no — the impressions are matched to your follicle size and skin tone so it reads as real hair.
