SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION IN JOHANNESBURG

Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive, permanent and affordable procedure. We are using specially designed micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp to create the appearance of tiny hair follicles or short hair stubble. Hair follicle simulation can be performed on bald, receding, thinning clients and people who are looking to camouflage scars, burns or hair transplant scars and also people with medical conditions like alopecia or cancer.

We are proud to provide one of the most natural results in the industry. Each hairline design, hairline finish and follicle replication is customised according to our bespoke hairline design technique. We will perfectly match the shade based on your existing hair colour and skin tone, so you do not need to worry. Check out our gallery for examples of our work.

You cannot compare it to conventional tattoos as we are working superficially as the skin on the head is thin overall. We will also advise you on pre-treatment protocol during our consultation to make sure you will have a pleasant experience with the best possible results.

The exact price depends on your hairloss pattern and is confirmed at your free consultation. Work on scars, burns, alopecia clients and stubble pigmentation are POA. Our prices are total prices based on  3 session treatment plan so you will know the costs before we even start.

No, you do not. Scalp micropigmentation is non-invasive with no downtime. Depends on your skin condition redness may last up to 2 days but you still can continue with your daily routine. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to follow so you can get the best results and stay safe. 

Absolutely! In fact, this is regarded by many as the ‘optimal solution’.

Hair transplantation conventionally works by removing hair follicles already on your scalp (usually from the side and back of the scalp). However, a hair transplant surgeon, no matter how skilled can only transplant hair you already have.

This poses a problem, however, the problem of volume… hair transplants can tend to look sparse especially men with Norwood Scale 7 hair loss, but the implementation of SMP beneath this creates a (surprisingly real!) illusion of depth and volume in the hair.

Yes, scalp micro pigmentation is considered halal as treatment is performed to address a medical condition or significant psychological distress due to hairloss.

In 2016, the European Council For Fatwa and Research issued a ruling stating that Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is permitted under Islamic law. The justification for this decision lies in the fact that SMP’s purpose is to act as a remedy for a condition, not as a means to alter the body’s appearance.

If your hair goes grey you can still fully benefit from scalp micropigmentation. The base of the hair is always darker than actual hair so if you will keep it short your hair will appear darker. We will also use our shade selection to match your existing salt & pepper pattern so you will get the most natural results possible. 

SMP can indeed be an effective method for camouflaging hair transplant scars, both FUT andFUE providing a more natural and seamless appearance. It’s essential to consult with an experienced SMP provider to understand the potential results and ensure the best possible outcome for your specific situation. 

The initial healing period for scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is typically 5–7 days, during which redness and slight tenderness may subside. Full recovery, including complete settling of pigment and skin healing, takes about 10 – 14 days. Following aftercare instructions—such as avoiding sweating, sun exposure, and scratching—ensures optimal results.

A single SMP session usually lasts 2–4 hours, depending on the treatment area’s size and complexity. Most clients achieve desired results in 2–3 sessions, scheduled 10–14 days apart, to build density and refine hairline design. The entire process is efficient, with minimal downtime.

SMP is a low-risk, non-invasive procedure with minimal side effects, which may include:

Temporary redness (24–48 hours).

Minor swelling or tenderness (rare, usually resolves within a day).

Light dryness (avoid scratching to prevent patchiness).

Serious complications (e.g., infection, allergic reactions) are extremely rare when performed by a certified practitioner in a sterile environment.

Avoid intense workouts, sweating, and steam (saunas, pools) for at least 5 – 7 days post-treatment. Excessive moisture can disrupt pigment retention and prolong healing. Light activities (e.g., walking) are fine. After the initial healing phase, you can gradually resume normal exercise.
