scalp micropigmentation
Restore your hairline with permanent results and minimal downtime.
what is scalp micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive procedure that creates the appearance of a fuller hairline by depositing pigment into the scalp. It uses techniques similar to modern tattooing that help thicken your hairline, or give the appearance of a five o’clock shadow or stubble. It can help clients, male and female, achieve a fuller appearance from thinning hairlines, balding, loss of hair density, scars from surgery, and failed hair transplant procedures.
SMP is a significantly cheaper and more permanent outcome than current hair transplants, where results—short or long term—are never guaranteed (and often have a lengthy recovery.) It is not a hair transplant procedure. In contrast, SMP is cheaper, guarantees results, and has minimal downtime. Like a tattoo, we ask that you avoid sweating, sun, and any harsh soaps/detergents on your scalp for one week following treatment.
After seeing hundreds of failed hair transplant procedures in 23+ years of barbery and hair styling, Kovan is confident that SMP is the best valued treatment option for many people. Maintenance of traditional hair transplant procedures is expensive, time consuming, and painful. SMP will not restore your hair, however, will give the appearance of fullness. Your consultation will firstly vet your eligibility for SMP, provide you with a plan for your treatment(s), and will outline realistic and achievable results aligned with your goals.
What will my treatment look like?
On average, each client can expect approximately three sessions spaced two weeks apart, depending on the desired hair density and work involved. Little upkeep and maintenance sessions are required; some clients come in 5–7 years later for a maintenance session or two, whereas other clients never need to return.
Look younger, boost your confidence, and feel like yourself again.
Kovan takes a tailored approach to each client to ensure complete satisfaction, combined with his 23+ years’ experience in barbery and SMP Training & Certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it painful?
Like anything, it depends on your pain tolerance. It’s similar to getting a tattoo, but isn’t nearly as intense. Some clients are able to fall asleep, whereas others say it’s a little painful.
How long do sessions usually take?
Most treatment sessions last, on average, 2–3 hours each. Smaller cases (less surface area or density) will require less time, and larger cases (more density and/or larger surface area) will be on the upper end.
How many treatments are usually needed?
For the vast majority of cases, clients can expect about 2–3 sessions total.
However, since each case is unique, more treatments may be required to achieve your goals, all depending on the amount of work needed.
Are the results permanent?
We like to call it “semi-permanent”. The pigment used in our SMP procedures is an all-natural and vegan formula, and tends to fade slightly after about 5–7 years.
Are touchup treatments needed?
This is up to you! Our all-natural vegan pigment tends to fade slightly after 5–7 years. Some clients decide to come back to have their results maintained, where others find they never need to return for touch-ups.
We equate it to a fresh haircut; it all depends on if you like that “clean” look!
