How many sessions are required?

The majority of clients require between two and three sessions to achieve their desired outcome. The precise number is confirmed during the initial consultation following an assessment of the area to be treated.

Will the results appear natural?

When performed by a qualified practitioner, SMP is clinically designed to be indistinguishable from a natural shaved head. Every hairline is constructed individually, taking into account facial structure, skin tone, and personal preference.

Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is generally well tolerated. Clients typically report mild discomfort rather than pain. Topical numbing options are available and can be discussed during your consultation.

Can I continue to shave my scalp after treatment?

Yes. Regular shaving is in fact recommended, as it maintains consistency between the pigmented follicles and any existing natural hair growth.

Is it possible to adjust the hairline at a later stage?

Hairline design can be refined, softened, or adjusted at any point. All design decisions are discussed and agreed upon in full prior to treatment commencing.

Restoring Confidence Through Expert SMP

Male pattern baldness, clinically known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common form of hair loss in men, affecting approximately 50% of men by the age of 50. While entirely natural, its impact on self-confidence and wellbeing is well documented.

At PADDA, we offer Scalp Micropigmentation as a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for male pattern baldness. Using advanced micropigmentation techniques, we create the precise appearance of natural hair follicles across the scalp - producing results that are refined, realistic, and tailored entirely to the individual.

The outcome is a clean, defined aesthetic that requires no surgery, no pharmaceutical intervention, and no ongoing daily maintenance.

The SMP Treatment Process

Scalp Micropigmentation involves the precise application of specialist pigment into the upper dermal layer of the scalp. Each deposit is carefully placed to replicate the appearance of a natural hair follicle, with attention given to density, depth, and direction to ensure a result that is consistent and convincing.

Treatment is conducted across a minimum of two to three sessions, each spaced approximately two to four weeks apart. This interval allows the pigment to settle and integrate naturally, with each subsequent session refining and building upon the previous work.

A thorough consultation is conducted to assess your hair loss, discuss your goals, and design a bespoke hairline appropriate to your facial structure and features.

Stage 1 — Initial Consultation

The first session establishes the base layer of pigment, introducing tone and beginning the replication of follicular detail across the treatment area.

Stage 2 — Foundation Session

Further sessions build density and depth, refining the hairline and ensuring a seamless, natural transition across all areas of the scalp.

Stage 3 — Refinement Sessions

Upon completion, a final review is carried out to confirm the result meets the agreed standard. Any refinements required are addressed at this stage.

Stage 4 — Final Assessment
