Scalp Micropigmentation
What is Scalp Micropigmentation and How Does it Work?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair restoration procedure that creates the appearance of fuller hair by depositing specialised pigments into the scalp.
The treatment replicates natural hair follicles using micro-dots that blend seamlessly with existing hair. At F5 Clinic, Chennai, scalp micropigmentation is performed under medical supervision using customised pigment shades and precise techniques to achieve realistic density and coverage.

Scalp Micropigmentation Procedure
Pre-Treatment:
A detailed scalp evaluation is done to assess hair loss pattern, scalp condition, and pigment shade selection. Hairline design and density planning are customised based on facial proportions.
During the Treatment:
A topical numbing agent is applied for comfort. Using micro-needles, pigment is deposited into the upper dermal layer in a dot-by-dot pattern that mimics natural follicles. Each session lasts 2–4 hours, depending on the area covered.
Post-Treatment Care & Recovery:
Mild redness may occur and usually subsides within 24–48 hours. Patients are advised to avoid sweating, washing the scalp, and sun exposure for a few days. Multiple sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart may be required for optimal results.
What is the Cost of Scalp Micropigmentation in Chennai?
