SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION - INSTANT, NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), or hairline tattooing, is a life-changing, non-surgical treatment that creates the appearance of natural hair follicles. Whether you're dealing with a receding hairline, thinning hair, bald patches, or hair transplant scars, SMP gives the illusion of a full, closely-shaven head of hair with a hairline that suits your face.
This advanced technique is 100% effective, providing instant results with no surgery, virtually zero recovery time, and no daily maintenance - just a confident, refreshed look.
WHAT IS SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION?
​
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a specialised cosmetic tattooing technique designed to mimic real hair follicles. Using tiny pigment deposits, we can create a natural-looking, shaved-head effect or add density to thinning areas. Unlike hair transplants, SMP is non-invasive, affordable, and requires minimal upkeep.
It’s a versatile solution for men and women experiencing hair loss due to male pattern baldness, alopecia, or medical conditions. The results are immediate, long-lasting, and completely customisable to your hairline preference.
SMP AT ESTEEM BEAUTY - WHAT TO EXPECT
INITIAL CONSULTATION
Your journey starts with a personalised consultation where we assess your hair loss, discuss your goals, and design a natural-looking hairline that suits your features. We’ll also explain the process, answer any questions, and ensure you feel fully informed before your first session.
YOUR FIRST SMP SESSION
​
During your first treatment session, we begin by carefully mapping out your hairline and applying the first layer of pigment. This stage creates the foundation for your new look. The process is comfortable, with most clients describing the sensation as light scratching rather than pain.
​
BUILDING DENSITY - FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS
​
SMP is a multi-session treatment, typically completed over 2–3 sessions. Each session adds more pigment and depth to create a realistic, natural finish. We gradually build density to ensure the most authentic results that blend seamlessly with any existing hair.
​
HEALING & AFTERCARE
​
After each session, you may experience some mild redness, which usually fades within 24–48 hours. We’ll provide full aftercare instructions, including when to wash your scalp, how to protect the pigment, and what to avoid to maintain the best results.
FINAL RESULTS & MAINTENANCE
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll be left with a natural, freshly-shaved look that lasts for years. SMP is low-maintenance, requiring only occasional touch-ups every few years to keep the pigment looking fresh.
After considering microblading for a long time after losing all hair on my body due to alopecia, I did a lot of research before deciding upon Esteem - they more than met my expectations!
Kasia is tremendous, patient, great at explaining the process and extremely talented. Delighted with the result.
Highly recommend!
SHAUN BARTLETT, GLASGOW
I would highly recommend Esteem beauty, a very positive and uplifting experience from start to finish. I received scalp micro pigmentation to cover an area of permanent hair loss ( which has made me so self conscious over the years). The procedure has not only improved the look 100% but also the skin is much stronger and healthier. Kasia was amazing, she was so professional, knowledgeable, supportive and sensitive to my situation throughout my treatment. Not having to worry about anyone noticing my hair loss is going to be a real boost to my confidence, thank you so much Kasia. Thanks to Victoria for being so welcoming and helpful too. I look forward to trying out some other treatments on offer in the future. Thanks x
AGNES THOMSON, GLASGOW
I received microblading treatment from kasia I had a great experience and would definitely recommend Esteem Beauty. I suffer from tricitillomania (obsessive hair pulling disorder) which effects my eyebrows. I am very self conscious about it. However, Kasia was very understanding and professional so I felt very at ease :) The procedure was very well explained at my initial consultation. The actual procedure went smoothly and I am delighted with the results! My eyebrows look amazing and I feel like I've regained a lot of confidence. I would definitely return here for beauty treatments.

​
Not sure if SMP is right for you? Book a consultation to discuss your options.
Does Scalp Micropigmentation look natural?
Yes! When performed by a skilled technician, SMP replicates the look of natural hair follicles. The pigment is matched to your skin tone and existing hair colour, and we carefully create a soft, realistic hairline that suits your face shape.
How long does SMP last?
Scalp Micropigmentation is a long-lasting treatment, typically maintaining its look for 3–5 years before a touch-up is needed. Over time, the pigment will gradually fade but won’t turn blue or green like traditional tattoos.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients find the procedure very tolerable. The sensation is often described as mild discomfort, similar to tiny pinpricks. If you have a low pain threshold, we can adjust the technique to keep you as comfortable as possible.
How many sessions will I need?
SMP is usually completed over 2–3 sessions, with each session adding more density and definition. Some clients may require a fourth session depending on their skin type and how well the pigment retains.
What should I expect after treatment?
There is no major recovery time needed after SMP. You may experience mild redness for 24–48 hours, but this fades quickly. The pigment will settle over the next few weeks, with full results visible after your final session.
Can I still grow my hair after SMP?
Yes! If you have existing hair, you can grow it out, but SMP is designed to blend best with a closely shaved or buzzed look. It does not interfere with natural hair growth.
Can I wash my scalp after SMP?
​You’ll need to avoid washing your scalp for at least four days after each session to allow the pigment to settle. After this, gentle washing is fine. We provide full aftercare instructions to ensure the best results.
How much does Scalp Micropigmentation cost?
The cost varies depending on factors like the size of the area being treated and the number of sessions required. We provide a personalised quote during your consultation.
Will SMP work for grey or white hair?
Yes! We customise the pigment to suit your natural hair tone, ensuring a seamless and natural result, even if you have grey or white hair.
Will people be able to tell I’ve had SMP?
Not at all - our goal is to create a subtle, natural effect that mimics real hair follicles. The results are designed to be undetectable, even up close.
Can SMP be removed if I change my mind?
Yes, SMP can be lightened or removed using laser treatments if desired. However, most clients are extremely satisfied with their results and simply opt for touch-ups when needed.
How do I get started?
The first step is booking a consultation. We’ll assess your hair loss, discuss your goals, and design a personalised treatment plan. There’s no obligation - just expert advice and guidance on what’s best for you.
