Replicate the look of natural hair without a transplant
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive treatment that replicates the appearance of natural hair follicles by placing tiny, meticulously designed pigment impressions on the scalp. It creates a fuller, denser look, blending seamlessly with existing hair to enhance hairlines, add thickness, or camouflage scars. It’s ideal for those seeking the look of closely cropped hair, improved hair density, or a complementary solution to enhance hair transplant results.
What sets Foundation Aesthetic Hair Restoration apart is our focus on achieving a realistic, layered 3D effect. This technique adds depth and dimension to your hairline, making the results virtually undetectable and giving you the confidence of a thicker, natural-looking head of hair.
The color of nature
At Foundation Aesthetic Hair Restoration, our commitment to innovation has led to the development of the highest-quality medical-grade pigments available today. Unlike traditional tattoo inks that contain metals and may oxidize over time, causing unwanted color shifts, our proprietary pigments are made entirely of natural ingredients. This ensures safety, stability, and longevity, maintaining a consistent, natural appearance for years.

How does scalp micropigmentation (SMP) work?
- Initial Consultation: During your initial consultation at Foundation, our specialists will collaborate with you to understand your desired outcomes. We’ll guide you through the process, develop a personalized plan, and ensure a clear path to your goals.
- First Session: The foundation of your new look begins here. Our experts use a tailored approach to match the color and density of your existing hair, meticulously placing pigment impressions to build a realistic, natural effect. Every detail—color variance, space filling, follicle thickness, ink absorption, and more—is considered to achieve the most refined results.
- Second Session: Typically scheduled 8 days after the first, this session enhances the density, creating a more pronounced, thicker appearance. The added layers create a distinctive, three-dimensional effect, providing depth and authenticity.
- Additional Sessions: Up to two more sessions may be scheduled if necessary, further refining the density and ensuring your new look achieves its fullest potential. End game: ensure you are happy with the results.
- Post-Procedure Care: Aftercare for SMP is refreshingly simple. Avoid any strenuous activity that will prompt undesired sweating in the first four days, and wash your scalp gently on the fourth day post-treatment. The results can endure up to eight years, providing a long-lasting solution to hair loss.
Recovery time after scalp micropigmentation (SMP)
Immediately following the procedure, you might experience mild redness on your scalp, which usually subsides within a few hours. For the first three days, it’s important to avoid washing your head or engaging in strenuous activities that could cause excessive sweating. On the fourth day, you can gently wash your scalp, but it’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and any hair products that might irritate the treated area.
As your scalp heals, you may notice small scabs forming at the pigmentation sites. These scabs will naturally fall off within a week, revealing the full results of the procedure. Most patients find they can return to their regular routines almost immediately, with no downtime required. By following these simple post-care instructions, you can ensure optimal results and enjoy the benefits of your new look for up to eight years.
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) FAQs
How long does scalp micropigmentation last?
Scalp micropigmentation is a form of semi-permanent makeup that lasts for four to five years. Over time, the pigments may fade, but a touch-up session can restore the original appearance.
Is micropigmentation better than a hair transplant?
The best choice depends on individual needs and preferences. SMP provides immediate results with no downtime and is less expensive than hair transplants. However, it doesn’t promote hair growth but rather creates the illusion of fuller hair. Hair transplants, on the other hand, involve moving actual hair follicles to thinning areas, which can be a more permanent solution.
SMP can also complement hair transplants by adding density and depth to transplanted areas, creating a more natural, full appearance. Together, they deliver enhanced results, blending seamlessly for a flawless look.
Does micropigmentation look natural?
When performed by skilled artists like Jose Armas using our proprietary medical-grade pigments and 3D layering techniques, SMP ensures unparalleled naturalness of results.
Is scalp micropigmentation effective with gray hair?
Yes, SMP can be tailored to match any hair color, including gray. The pigments are color-matched to blend seamlessly with your natural hair.
Will I need to shave my head?
Not necessarily. SMP can be performed on both shaved and unshaved heads, depending on your desired look and the extent of hair loss.
