Are you worried about hair loss but hesitate to undergo surgery? You are not alone. Hair loss can affect your appearance and self-esteem. While many people consider hair transplants, the idea of surgery may be daunting, with the possibility of health concerns or recovery.
There is a safe, non-surgical option that provides natural-looking results. At Dr. Uzma Irfan Hair Transplant Clinic, we provide Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), cutting-edge cosmetic solutions that restore the look of full, thick hair. Using the pigment’s micro-dots, the treatment repeats the appearance of real hair follicles without any incisions or extended downtime, leaving a clean and youthful appearance.
And it is not limited to just the scalp. Micropigmentation is also used for eyebrows, lips, and even scar camouflage, which offers subtle enrichments that mix beautifully with your natural features. It is likely you have already seen its results—without realizing it.

What is micropigmentation?
Micropigmentation is a special kind of tattooing. It is a way to add color to your skin using very tiny needles. These needles put color into your skin’s top layer. The color stays for a long time, but not forever. It slowly fades over time, and you might need to get it done again after a few years.
In simple words, micropigmentation is like painting or coloring on the skin in a very careful and special way.
Types of Micropigmentation
There are different types of micropigmentation depending on where it is done. Let’s learn about them!

1. Eyebrow Micropigmentation
It makes eyebrows look fuller, darker, and prettier. People who have thin eyebrows or no eyebrows at all love this!

2. Lip Micropigmentation
It is for making lips look more colorful and even.

3. Scalp Micropigmentation
This is for people who have lost their hair. Tiny dots are made on the scalp that look like small hairs.

4. Scar Camouflage
This type covers scars on the skin. It matches the color of the skin so the scar becomes less visible.
How Does Micropigmentation Work?
- Planning:
It is the first step, where the person and the professional talk about what they want. They choose the color and shape according to skin and requirements.
- Drawing:
After planning, the professional might draw the shape on the skin first, like an outline.
- Numbing:
After the drawing is complete, they put a cream on the skin that makes it numb, for pain relief.
- Pigmenting:
Then, they use a machine with a tiny needle to put the color into the scalp.
- Healing:
The skin needs time to heal. After a few days or weeks, the final look is ready!
