What is SMP Therapy ?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
-
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair restoration technique that creates the illusion of thicker, fuller hair by depositing natural pigment into the scalp.
-
Often called a “hair tattoo,” SMP is ideal for individuals dealing with bald spots, receding hairlines, thinning hair, or post-hair transplant scars.
-
Unlike hair transplants, SMP does not involve surgery or donor hair – it works by creating a realistic illusion of dense hair growth.
-
At Dhanwantaris Chrysalis, Pune, we use advanced SMP techniques to recreate natural hair density and a defined hairline tailored to your face and skin tone.

Who Needs It?/Candidature For SMP Therapy
Candidature for SMP
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a versatile, non-surgical solution that caters to a wide range of individuals facing hair-related concerns. Whether you're battling baldness, experiencing hair thinning, or seeking to enhance your hair transplant results, SMP therapy offers a safe and effective way to restore a fuller, more youthful appearance.
At Dhanwantaris Chrysalis, Pune, we assess each client’s scalp condition, hair loss pattern, and aesthetic goals before customizing an SMP plan tailored for natural-looking results.
Eligibility to undergo a SMP THERAPY :
- Have Male or Female Pattern Baldness : SMP is perfect for those experiencing androgenetic alopecia—the most common cause of hair loss in men and women. It restores the illusion of a full buzz-cut look or adds density to thinning areas.
- Want to Conceal Bald Patches or Thinning Hair : If your hair is thinning across the crown, parting, or temples, SMP can create the appearance of fuller hair by filling in visible gaps with carefully placed pigments.
- Have a Receding or Uneven Hairline : SMP can reconstruct and define the hairline to create a natural frame for your face. It’s an excellent option if you’ve lost hair around the front or sides of your scalp.
- Are Not Eligible or Comfortable With Hair Transplant Surgery : For individuals who do not have enough donor hair, or prefer non-surgical options, SMP offers a low-risk, low-maintenance alternative.
- Wish to Camouflage Scars or Birthmarks : SMP can effectively cover scalp scars from past hair transplant surgeries, accidents, or medical procedures by blending them seamlessly into your natural hair pattern.
- Have Alopecia Areata or Totalis : People with autoimmune hair loss conditions like Alopecia Areata or Alopecia Totalis can benefit from SMP to reduce the visual impact of hair loss patches.
- Want to Enhance Previous Hair Transplant Results : If you've undergone a hair transplant but still have visible thinning or low density, SMP can enhance the overall look by adding visual fullness.
Benefits Of SMP Therapy
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is quickly gaining popularity as a safe, non-surgical, and cost-effective solution for individuals struggling with hair loss, thinning, bald patches, or receding hairlines. Whether you're looking for a permanent hairline solution or simply want to boost hair density, SMP therapy offers visible, long-lasting results without the downtime of surgery.
Instant, Natural-Looking Results:Unlike surgical procedures that require months to show improvement, SMP provides immediate visual enhancement after just 1–2 sessions. Our experts customize the pigment shade and hairline design for a natural, realistic appearance.
Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive :SMP is a non-invasive procedure that requires no incisions, no stitches, and no general anesthesia. This makes it a safe option with minimal discomfort and no risk of surgical complications.
No Downtime or Recovery Period:One of the biggest advantages of SMP therapy is that it has virtually zero downtime. You can resume daily activities within 24 hours — making it ideal for professionals and busy individuals.
Cost-Effective Hair Restoration:Compared to hair transplants and ongoing hair loss treatments, SMP is a one-time investment that delivers long-term results. It’s a budget-friendly solution for those who want permanent coverage without ongoing expenses.
Long-Lasting & Low Maintenance:SMP results last for 4–6 years or more with minimal care. Unlike hair systems or medications, there’s no need for regular upkeep, replacements, or re-application.
Camouflages Baldness, Scars & Thinning Areas:SMP can fill in thinning spots, recreate a full hairline, or conceal scars from previous hair transplant surgeries or injuries, offering a comprehensive cosmetic solution.
Suitable for Men & Women:Whether you have male pattern baldness, postpartum hair loss, or alopecia, SMP is a versatile treatment that works effectively for all genders and hair types.
Boosts Confidence & Appearance:A fuller-looking scalp can significantly enhance your facial aesthetics, self-esteem, and professional appearance, giving you a more youthful and confident look.

- Custom Hairline Design : A natural-looking hairline is designed based on your facial structure, age, and preference—whether you want a defined edge, soft hairline, or receded look.
- Pigment Application – First Session : Using micro-needles, tiny dots of medical-grade pigment are deposited into the upper layers of your scalp. This creates the illusion of natural hair follicles or a shaved-head look, depending on the desired outcome.
- Healing & Aftercare : After the first session, we provide complete aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. Most clients experience mild redness for 1–2 days. Avoid washing the scalp or direct sun exposure during this time.
- Follow-Up Sessions (2nd & 3rd) : SMP typically requires 2–3 sessions spaced 7–14 days apart to achieve the desired depth, density, and shade. Each session builds on the previous one for more defined and lasting results.
- Final Results & Maintenance Guidance :Once completed, SMP results can last 4–6 years or more. We guide you on how to maintain your results, including when to consider a minor touch-up in the future.
