Scalp Micropigmentation for Men: What is it ?

Scalp micropigmentation is an innovative, gentle, aesthetic solution that precisely simulates the appearance of very short cut hair (shaved effect) or, in some cases, creates an illusion of density through long hair. This technique is increasingly used in men wishing to camouflage baldness, balding areas, or scalp scars, with a natural, immediate, and lasting result.

An Effective Solution to Male Hair Loss

Often perceived as a difficult experience, hair loss affects a large number of men from the age of 25 or 30. When medical treatments or hair transplants are not enough, scalp micropigmentation is a reliable and aesthetic alternative, without side effects or downtime.

At Sopigment, we have mastered this technique perfectly, which allows us to restructure a hairline, add density to the temples, or cover more advanced baldness as shown in the Norwood Scale No. 3, 4, or beyond. Whether you opt for a clean shave or a subtle density effect, micropigmentation allows you to reshape your hair with precision and finesse.

What is the Difference between SMP and a Traditional Tattoo?

Unlike traditional tattooing, scalp micropigmentation is performed in the superficial layers of the skin, more precisely in the dermis. This precision of work is essential: it prevents the pigment from spreading over time and forming bluish or blurry spots.

Thanks to specific microneedles and perfectly measured pigments, we achieve sharp, regular, and perfectly controlled dots that faithfully mimic the natural appearance of a hair follicle.

An Ideal Complement to a Hair Transplant

Many men who have had a hair transplant also opt for hair micropigmentation. Indeed, a transplant is not always enough to cover all the thinning areas, especially beyond the Norwood stage 3 or 4. The micropigmentation then visually strengthens the result, brings density, and harmonizes the overall appearance.

Why Do Men Particularly Use Scalp Micropigmentation?

Hair loss affects a large majority of men at various stages in their lives. This is mainly due to hormonal factors, particularly high testosterone levels and as well as genetic predispositions.

Although baldness is sometimes more socially accepted in men than in women, this does not detract from the suffering it can generate. It is in this context that scalp micropigmentation has been able to attract a large male audience since the early 2000s. Today, this non-invasive solution is also attracting a growing number of women, due to its effectiveness and discretion.

Are You a Good Candidate for Scalp Micropigmentation?

This is a question that many people ask. First, it’s important to understand that this is a personal decision, linked to your well-being and the way you experience your hair loss. At Sopigment, we do not try to convince you at all costs: our role is to accompany  you, not to force you into a decision

➡️ If you experience real discomfort or a lack of self-confidence related to your hair loss, then scalp micropigmentation can be a great option.

➡️ On the other hand, if you are comfortable with your appearance, it is important to take the time to reflect before proceeding.

💡 Moreover, scalp micropigmentation is not recommended in cases of intensive medical treatments or serious illnesses. In these cases, medical advice is recommended before any intervention.

Procedure and Expected Aesthetic Results

✨ Scalp Micropigmentation for a Shaved Effect

For men, shaved effect micropigmentation takes place in 3 sessions:

First session: Definition of the frontal line with a white pencil, taking into account the shape of your face, your age, and your style, then a first layer of light pigmentation is applied.

Second Session: Reinforcement of Density with greater precision

Third session: Finalization and homogenization of the result.

💡 You have the choice between:

• A fragmented frontal line for a natural look

• A defined and clear line for a structured effect

• A medium line, more balanced and subtle.

What to expect after the sessions?

Results are visible from the first session, but still subtle – you reach about 35% of the final density. Between each session, the skin regenerates its cells and slightly rejects the pigment, creating space for subsequent applications.

This is why the sessions are spaced out several days apart, allowing your practitioner to adjust the shade or density if necessary.
