Hair thinning and hair loss don't have to define your confidence. Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a revolutionary, non-invasive solution that creates the appearance of fuller, denser hair through precise, natural-looking pigment application.
At Spa Botanicals, Master Permanent Makeup Artist Melissa Long brings over 30 years of esthetic expertise to every SMP treatment. Her meticulous artistry and understanding of scalp anatomy ensure results that are so natural, even your stylist won't know the difference.
Unlike surgical hair restoration, SMP requires no downtime, no scarring, and delivers immediate visible results. Whether you're experiencing diffuse thinning, pattern balding, or simply want to enhance your hairline's density, this botanical-first approach to scalp artistry offers a confidence-restoring solution.
Specialized SMP Services
For Women: Grain-Like Scalp Density
Hair thinning in women often appears as widening parts, reduced volume at the crown, or overall scalp visibility. Our specialized SMP technique for women creates subtle, grain-like microdots that mimic the appearance of natural hair follicles, adding the illusion of density and fullness.
Ideal For:
-
Widening part lines
-
Diffuse thinning across the crown
-
Post-pregnancy or hormonal hair loss
-
Age-related volume reduction
-
Alopecia or medical hair loss
-
Enhancing hair transplant results
What to Expect:
Delicate, strategically placed pigment deposits create the visual effect of thicker, denser hair. Your existing hair blends seamlessly with the treatment, allowing you to style as usual while enjoying newfound confidence.
For Men: Full Scalp Micropigmentation
Male pattern balding, receding hairlines, and complete hair loss are expertly addressed with our comprehensive SMP solutions. We create a natural-looking "buzz cut" appearance or densify existing thinning areas to restore a youthful, masculine hairline.

-
Receding hairlines and temples
-
Crown thinning or bald spots

Scar camouflage from previous transplants

The Spa Botanicals Difference
Unlike clinical SMP providers, we bring a holistic, botanical-first philosophy to scalp micropigmentation. Every treatment begins with a thorough scalp health assessment and consultation about your lifestyle, styling preferences, and aesthetic goals.
We use premium, biocompatible pigments that work in harmony with your skin tone and existing hair color. Our post-treatment protocols include botanical scalp care recommendations to support healing and maintain the integrity of your results.
Hair restoration should feel like self-care, not a medical procedure. At Spa Botanicals, it does.
Your SMP Journey
Comprehensive Consultation
We discuss your hair loss pattern, desired results, and create a customized treatment plan. Melissa will assess your scalp, skin tone, and hair color to determine the perfect pigment match.
Precision Pigment Application
Using specialized micro-needles, Melissa carefully deposits pigment into the scalp's dermal layer, creating natural-looking follicle replication. Sessions typically last 2-4 hours depending on the treatment area.
Layered Sessions
Most clients require 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to build optimal density and dimension. Each layer adds depth and realism to your results.
Healing & Aftercare
Minimal downtime with simple aftercare instructions. Your scalp may appear slightly red for 24-48 hours, and pigment will soften to its final shade within 7-10 days.
Long-Term Maintenance
Touch-up sessions recommended every 3-5 years to refresh pigment vibrancy and maintain optimal results as your hair and skin tone naturally change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SMP look natural?
When performed by an experienced artist like Melissa, SMP is virtually undetectable. The technique creates individual follicle impressions that blend seamlessly with your existing hair and skin tone. Most people will simply notice you look more youthful and refreshed.
Is the procedure painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort similar to light scratching. Topical numbing agents are available to enhance comfort. The scalp is generally less sensitive than other areas of permanent makeup.
How long does SMP last?
Results typically remain vibrant for 3-5 years, gradually softening over time. Factors like sun exposure, skin type, and lifestyle affect longevity. Periodic touch-ups maintain optimal appearance.
Is SMP safe?
Yes. We use biocompatible, dermatologically tested pigments specifically formulated for scalp application. Melissa follows strict sanitation protocols and uses single-use, sterile needles for every client.
What's the recovery time?
Minimal to none. You may experience slight redness for 24-48 hours. Most clients return to work and normal activities immediately. Avoid intense sweating, swimming, and sun exposure for 4-7 days post-treatment.
Can I still grow my hair out?
Absolutely! For women, SMP enhances density beneath existing hair. For men, you can maintain a shaved look or let your hair grow—the SMP simply creates the appearance of fuller coverage.
Can SMP cover scars?
SMP is highly effective for camouflaging hair transplant scars, surgical scars, and scarring from alopecia or accidents. We'll evaluate your scarring during consultation to create an appropriate treatment plan.
