We use the term “hair tattoo” because it’s easy to “get.” However, although SMP is similar, it is not the same as a tattoo. Our SMP procedure uses tattoo equipment, but the pigment is administered with a needle approximately 75% smaller than typically used for a tattoo. The technique to replicate tiny hair follicles is achieved with pointillism, or dots, which gives the illusion of a thicker, fuller, denser, head of hair.
