Q: What is Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP)?
What is SMP? — M.O., Greenwich, CT
A: Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP) is a medical-grade scalp tattoo. It is a form of permanent cosmetic camouflage that can mimic the appearance of hair in locations such as scars or balding areas. SMP gives the appearance of fullness of hair without actual hairs being present. Although permanent dyes are generally used, semi-permanent materials can be substituted that will purposely fade over time.
