What is SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation)?

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a cosmetic tattoo treatment designed to replicate the appearance of hair follicles on the scalp. It’s commonly used to create the illusion of fuller hair, camouflage bald patches, or enhance the look of hair density in both men and women experiencing hair loss.

SMP is a non-invasive procedure that involves depositing tiny pigment dots into the scalp using specialised equipment and techniques.

Why Do People Want SMP Tattoo Removal?

While SMP can be a great option for hair loss, some people may seek removal for various reasons, including:

• Unnatural Results – If the SMP was not applied correctly, it may look too dark, dense, or artificial.
• Colour Changes – Some pigments can fade to blue, green, or grey over time, leading to an undesired appearance.
• Changes in Hair Loss – As natural hair loss progresses, the SMP design may no longer suit the individual’s look.
• Personal Preference – Some clients simply want to return to their natural scalp or opt for a different hair restoration solution.

How Does SMP Tattoo Removal Work?

At Goodbye Tattoos, we use advanced laser tattoo removal technology to break down the SMP pigment safely and effectively. The laser targets the ink particles, allowing the body’s immune system to flush them out naturally.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

• Consultation – We assess your SMP treatment, skin type, and medical history to develop a personalised plan.
• Treatment Process – The laser targets the pigment in short pulses, gradually fading the SMP tattoo over multiple sessions.
• Aftercare Guidance – We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

The number of sessions required varies based on factors like pigment depth, skin type, and the quality of the original SMP treatment. Most clients need 3 to 6 sessions, with treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SMP tattoo removal painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as similar to the original SMP treatment – a mild stinging or warm feeling. We use cooling techniques to make the process as comfortable as possible.

Will SMP removal damage my hair follicles?

No, the laser targets only the pigment in the skin and does not affect hair follicles, meaning natural hair growth remains unaffected.

How long does it take to see results?

You’ll notice fading after each session, but complete removal takes multiple sessions over several months, depending on the depth and quality of the SMP.

Can I get SMP reapplied after removal?

Yes! Some clients choose to have SMP corrected or reapplied after removal. We recommend waiting until the skin has fully healed before undergoing a new SMP treatment.
