The look of a full head of hair, again. SMP is a discreet, non-surgical treatment that recreates the appearance of natural hair follicles, for men and women, at our studio in Boston, Lincolnshire.
Discover SMPScalp micropigmentation (SMP) in Boston replicates the look of natural hair follicles using thousands of tiny, precise impressions of pigment in the upper layers of the scalp. Matched to your skin tone and hair colour, they blend seamlessly with any existing hair or a clean, close-shaved look.
