Procedure Overview

SMP is a wonderful treatment that gives the illusion of a full shaved hairstyle or density throughout thinning areas of the scalp, on both men and women. Unlike other hair loss treatments, SMP is also a reliable solution for those suffering from Alopecia. This non-surgical hair loss treatment, referred to as a medical tattoo, can also be used to conceal scars on the scalp.

Scalp Micropigmentation is an affordable procedure that gives instant results. The treatment is carried out over 3 sessions, in which our specialist technician deposits small droplets of medical grade pigmentation, just beneath the surface of the skin. This successfully gives the illusion of small, natural hair follicles, replicating the existing hair.

Cosmetic Procedure Screening Questionnaire

It can be used as a screening questionnaire to tell whether you might have BDD.

1) How often do you do you deliberately check your feature(s)? Not accidentally catch sight of it. Please include looking at your feature in a mirror or other reflective surfaces like a shop window or looking at it directly or feeling it with your fingers.
2) To what extent do you feel your feature(s) are currently ugly, unattractive or ‘not right’?
3) To what extent does your feature(s) currently cause you a lot of distress?
4) How often does your feature(s) currently lead you to avoid situations or activities?
5) To what extent does your feature(s) currently preoccupy you? That is, you think about it a lot and it is hard to stop thinking about it?
6) If you have a partner, to what extent does your feature(s) currently have an effect on your relationship with an existing partner? (e.g. affectionate feelings, number of arguments, enjoying activities together). If you do not have a partner, to what extent does your feature(s) currently have an effect on dating or developing a relationship?
7) To what extent does your feature(s) currently interfere with your ability to work or study, or your role as a homemaker? (Please rate this even if you are not working or studying: we are interested in your ability to work or study.)
8) To what extent does your feature(s) currently interfere with your social life? (with other people, e.g. parties, pubs, clubs, outings, visits, home entertainment)
9) To what extent, do you feel your appearance is the most important aspect of who you are?
