Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to address hair loss by creating the appearance of hair follicles on the scalp. This technique involves depositing pigment in a stippling pattern using micro-fine needles, mimicking the look of a closely shaved head, denser hairline, or fuller hair. It is particularly suitable for individuals experiencing male or female pattern baldness, alopecia, thinning hair, or scalp scars from previous surgeries or injuries. Unlike traditional hair tattoos, SMP uses finer needles and shallower penetration to ensure a natural appearance, tailored to the scalp’s unique anatomy.At NeoGraft India, located in Chandigarh, India, SMP is offered as part of their expanded services, complementing their renowned NeoGraft hair transplant procedures.

The SMP procedure at NeoGraft India typically requires multiple sessions to achieve the desired density, with each session lasting 2-5 hours depending on the area treated. During the process, a trained technician uses specialized tools to deposit medical-grade, hypoallergenic pigment into the epidermal layer of the scalp. The procedure is virtually painless, with topical numbing cream applied to minimize discomfort, and it involves minimal downtime, allowing clients to resume normal activities immediately after. Most clients require 2-3 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to build up the natural look.
Benefits and Suitability
SMP offers several benefits, including:
- Non-Surgical: No incisions, anesthesia, or surgery required, making it less invasive than hair transplants.
- Immediate Results: Clients can see a fuller, more defined hairline after just a few sessions, with minimal recovery time.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for all skin types and hair loss conditions, including baldness, thinning hair, alopecia, and scalp scars.
- Low Maintenance: Results can last 4-6 years before needing touch-ups, requiring minimal upkeep compared to temporary concealers.
- Natural Appearance: Creates the look of a buzz cut, denser hair, or a redefined hairline that blends seamlessly with existing hair.
SMP is ideal for individuals who may not be candidates for hair transplants, such as those with limited donor hair or active scalp conditions like psoriasis. It is also suitable for those seeking a quick, non-surgical option to enhance their appearance. However, a consultation is recommended to assess suitability, especially for individuals with a history of allergic reactions or keloid formation.
Integration with hair transplant at neograft hair clinic .
While SMP is a standalone treatment, it can complement NeoGraft hair transplants, which utilize Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) techniques for permanent hair restoration. For example, SMP can enhance the appearance of a transplanted hairline, fill in areas where transplants may not be effective, or create a natural-looking buzz cut before or after transplantation. This combination allows for a comprehensive approach, catering to clients’ unique needs and aesthetic goals. NeoGraft India’s expertise in both SMP and hair transplants ensures a holistic solution for hair loss, with Dr. Nav Vikram’s leadership guiding each treatment plan.
Aftercare and Longevity
Post-procedure care is crucial for maintaining SMP results. Clients are advised to:
- Keep the scalp clean and dry for the first 4 days, avoiding washing, sweating, or exposing it to water.
- Gently wash the scalp with cold water and a mild, fragrance-free soap from day 5 onwards, applying a non-perfumed moisturizer three times daily to prevent dryness.
- Protect the scalp from direct sunlight by wearing a hat or using sunscreen, as UV exposure can cause pigment fading.
- Schedule touch-up sessions every 4-6 years to maintain the appearance, depending on individual factors like skin type and sun exposure.

Potential Risks and Considerations
While SMP is generally safe, there are potential risks to consider:
- Minor Side Effects: Temporary redness, swelling, or slight discomfort may occur, usually subsiding within hours to days.
- Allergic Reactions: Though rare, some individuals may be allergic to the pigments, mitigated by a patch test during consultation.
- Infection: Using unsterilized equipment can lead to infection, but NeoGraft India adheres to strict sterilization protocols to ensure safety.
- Fading Over Time: SMP is semi-permanent and may fade after several years, requiring touch-ups to maintain the look.
Clients are encouraged to discuss these risks during their consultation to ensure informed decision-making.
