Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a specialist cosmetic treatment designed to reduce the visible effects of hair loss by recreating the appearance of natural hair follicles on the scalp.

Using carefully selected pigments and precise placement, I can create the look of a closely shaved hairline, add the appearance of density to thinning areas, or help disguise certain scars. Every treatment is planned around you, including your existing hair, skin tone and the result you want to achieve, so the finished effect looks natural and suits you.

Yes. Scalp micropigmentation can reduce the visible effects of male pattern hair loss, including a receding hairline, thinning crown and areas of visible scalp.

Also known as male pattern hair baldness or androgenetic alopecia, this is a progressive condition influenced by genetics and hormones. 

SMP does not regrow hair or prevent further hair loss. Instead, carefully matched pigment impressions recreate the appearance of natural hair follicles, helping to define a receding hairline or create the appearance of greater density.

Kerry will assess your hair-loss pattern and discuss the most suitable approach during your consultation.

Yes. Scalp micropigmentation can help reduce the visible effects of female pattern hair loss, particularly widespread thinning across the top and crown of the scalp or a widening central parting.

Also known as androgenetic alopecia, female pattern hair loss is a progressive condition influenced by genetic and hormonal factors. Over time, affected hair follicles produce shorter, finer and lighter hairs, making the scalp increasingly visible through the existing hair.

SMP does not regrow hair or prevent further hair loss. Instead, carefully matched pigment impressions are placed between the existing hair follicles to reduce the contrast between the hair and scalp, creating the appearance of greater density. 

Kerry will assess your hair-loss pattern, existing coverage and desired result to determine the right solution for you.

Potentially, but postpartum hair loss is usually temporary. It is generally better to wait until active shedding has stopped and your hair density has stabilised before considering scalp micropigmentation.

Hormonal changes after pregnancy can cause more hairs than usual to enter the shedding phase, often becoming noticeable around three months after giving birth. In many cases, the natural hair-growth cycle gradually settles and density improves over the following months.

If your hair loss persists or causes concern, you should speak to your GP or dermatologist to rule out another underlying cause. Once the shedding has stabilised, Kerry can assess any remaining thinning and discuss whether an SMP density treatment may help reduce the contrast between your hair and scalp.

Scalp micropigmentation can help reduce the visible contrast between the scalp and existing hair, creating the appearance of thicker, denser hair. However, SMP does not stop hair loss or treat its underlying cause.

Hair shedding experienced during or after taking GLP-1 medication may be temporary and can have several possible causes. We recommend speaking to your GP, prescriber or dermatologist before considering SMP.

Once the cause and pattern of hair loss have been assessed, Kerry can discuss the right solution for you.

Your scalp micropigmentation consultation is an important opportunity to discuss the result you would like and whether it can realistically be achieved.

Kerry will assess your scalp and hair-loss pattern and ask about your medical history, existing conditions and any medication you take. She will also explain the treatment process, preparation and aftercare, as well as discussing pigment colour and your preferred hairline where relevant. A patch test is also included and will be completed before treatment.

No. Microblading is a form of cosmetic tattooing most commonly used on the eyebrows, where a handheld blade creates fine, hair-like strokes in the skin.

Micropigmentation uses a specialist machine and very fine needles to create tiny pigment impressions that replicate the look of natural hair follicles. Rather than creating individual hair strokes, I gradually build the treatment to create realistic density, definition and a natural-looking finish across the scalp.

No. Although scalp micropigmentation and tattooing both involve placing pigment into the skin, they use different techniques, equipment and pigments to achieve very different results.

Traditional tattooing places ink deeper into the skin and is designed to create permanent artwork. With scalp micropigmentation, I carefully deposit specialist pigment at a shallower depth to recreate the appearance of tiny, natural hair follicles. The treatment is specifically designed for the scalp, with the colour, density and placement tailored to your natural hair and skin tone.
