Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive cosmetic technique that injects pigment into the scalp's epidermis, mimicking the appearance of hair follicles to enhance hair density and improve hairlines. This technique is suitable for those with hair loss, thinning hair, or scars needing restoration.
