Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)

The Art of Hair Illusion — Restore Confidence Without Surgery

Precision Pigment. Instant Density.
Long-Term Confidence.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical, high-precision treatment that replicates the appearance of natural hair follicles creating the illusion of thicker hair or a closely shaved scalp. Whether you’re managing thinning hair, scarring, or seeking a refined hairline, SMP delivers immediate visual impact without downtime, surgery, or medication.

At Pique Vitality, Dr. Lauren Saltzburg applies SMP with an expert hand customizing pigment color, density, and hairline shape to match your skin tone, aesthetic goals, and identity.

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?

SMP is a specialized form of cosmetic tattooing, designed exclusively for hair restoration. Using ultra-fine needles, tiny pigment deposits are layered across the scalp to simulate the look of hair follicles.

Unlike traditional tattoo ink, SMP pigments are formulated to fade naturally over time allowing for adjustment and refresh as needed. The results are subtle, realistic, and remarkably low maintenance.

The SMP Process at Pique Vitality

SMP is safe and effective across all skin tones, hair types, and genders—offering a versatile, inclusive approach to hair restoration.
SMP is typically completed over 2–4 sessions, each lasting 2–3 hours. Pigment is layered with precision to ensure dimension and realism.
Redness or sensitivity may occur temporarily, but most patients resume normal activities the same day. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 1–3 years to preserve vibrancy.

SMP as Part of a Comprehensive Plan

SMP works beautifully on its own or as part of a layered hair restoration strategy. Dr. Saltzburg often combines SMP with:

  • FUE or FUT hair transplants (to boost density or conceal scars)
  • PRP or stem cell therapies (to enhance natural regrowth)
  • Topical peptides and growth factors (for ongoing scalp health)
  • Transgender and nonbinary individuals looking to align hairline with identity
