Welcome to Crown SMP
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), also known as a hair tattoo, is a non-surgical hair loss treatment where tiny dots of a special pigment are applied to the scalp to resemble a hair follicle. The pigments are designed to either blend in with your existing hair to create the appearance of thicker hair,
or if you’re completely bald they can give the appearance of a full head of shaved hair.
SMP can help both men and women overcome their hair loss struggles in a variety of ways. The most common are through:
Restoring receded hairlines | Creating natural-looking density amongst existing hair | Camouflaging scars, particularly those left from hair transplants | Narrowing a wide hair part
One of the major benefits of a hair tattoo is that it’s non-invasive, meaning there’s no scarring or down time; you walk in and out the same day with immediate results!

Is it painful?
While most people do not find SMP painful, there is a level of discomfort felt during the procedure, however everyone has different pain thresholds.
The live of any discomfort would be a three out of ten at most – with 10 being very painful, and 10 being very painful, and 1 being not painful at all. Some clients have also been known to fall asleep during a procedure.
How is it done?
SMP is done by a specially designed machine, that gently implants coloured pigments into the first layer of skin, to create a soft and natural look.
This is completed in 2-3 sessions, and can last up to five years!
How does it heal?
The goal with Scalp Micropigmentation is always NATURAL! The aim is to create realistic looking results… from hairline, to hair density.
The pigmantation is stable, and will not change colour over time!
What is SMP?
The goal of SMP isn’t to create hairlike lines as you would when micro blading eyebrows, but instead to use tiny, layered dots in different hues of black to replicate the look of a shadow on your scalp. This style, referred to as pointillism, is done to create natural-looking depth and definition.
A skilled practitioner will work to ensure the dots look like a natural hair follicle and blend in seamlessly with your complexion.
This process may be useful for people who experience all forms of hair loss. This includes folks with:
Cancer | Alopecia | Thinning hair | Male and Female Pattern Baldness
SMP can help both men & women overcome their hairloss struggles, giving the appearance of a full head of shaved hair.
Stages of the Norwood Scale
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
In the class A version of the scale, or stage 3A the dips in the hairline may be slightly less defined.
Stage 3 vertex – In terms of the receding hairline, stage 3 vertex balding is a less drastic version of stage 3.
However, people experiencing stage 3 vertex balding will also begin losing hair on the crown of their head, this often start as one small bald spot.
Stage 4
The bald spot on the crown is larger, but there is still a strip of hair between the bald spot and the receding hairline.
In stage 4A, a person will not experience a bald spot on the back of their head, but they will instead lose the dips in their hairline and have a deeper “U” shape when viewed from above.
Stage 5
In stage 5A, the hairline continues to progress toward the back of the head.
Stage 6
There may still be hair on the sides of the head, but the crown and front of the head are now mostly bald.
Stage 7
The hairs that grow are likely to be very thin and weak.
