What is SMP?

The Permanent Hair Loss Solution

Scalp Micropigmentation — also known as a hair tattoo — is the process of implanting tiny, follicle-sized pigment dots into the scalp to replicate the appearance of a natural, freshly-shaved head of hair.

Unlike hair transplants, there is no surgery, no scarring, and zero downtime. You'll walk out of your first session already looking transformed — not in six months, not after a year of pills. Right now.

At My Transformation in Ballajura Perth, artist Michael Pickering uses plant-based pigments at one third the depth of a traditional tattoo — meaning the result can never turn blue, bleed, or look artificial. Even your barber won't know.

SMP works for all skin types and tones. Whether you're dealing with full baldness, a receding hairline, thinning hair, alopecia, or transplant scarring — there is a technique for you.

Who it helps

SMP Works For Every Type of Hair Loss

Scalp Micropigmentation delivers immediate, natural-looking results for every stage and type of hair loss — for men and women.

👨

Male Pattern Baldness

SMP recreates a sharp, natural hairline and adds density to thinning areas — restoring the look of a full buzz cut. Full scalp coverage from session one.

↩️

Receding Hairline

If your hairline has moved back, we recreate it at the ideal position for your face shape — sharp, soft, or natural, exactly as you want it.

👩

Thinning Hair — Women

Women's SMP adds density between existing hairs without changing your style. You keep your hair length — it just looks dramatically fuller. No shaving required.

🔵

Alopecia

Patchy or complete alopecia is camouflaged with carefully placed pigment — giving a uniform, natural-looking scalp tone regardless of the extent of hair loss.

🔧

Transplant Scars

FUT and FUE scars from previous hair transplants are effectively concealed with SMP, blending seamlessly with surrounding follicle impressions.

Hair Density Add

If your hair is thinning but not yet gone, density SMP adds fullness between existing hairs — making thin hair look thick without surgery or medication.

Common questions

Scalp Micropigmentation FAQs

Everything you need to know before booking — answered honestly by Michael.

How much does Scalp Micropigmentation cost in Perth?

+

SMP at My Transformation starts from $900 for a hairline treatment and $2,400 for a full scalp. This is significantly more affordable than a hair transplant ($10,000–$20,000) and cheaper long-term than a hairpiece or medications. Payment plans available through Zip Money and Afterpay. Your exact quote is given free at consultation.

Is Scalp Micropigmentation permanent?

+

SMP is a long-lasting cosmetic treatment. Results typically last 4–6 years before a simple touch-up is needed to refresh the colour. The pigments are plant-based, applied at a shallower depth than a tattoo, and fade naturally — they cannot turn blue or change colour over time. It never fully disappears.

Does it hurt? What does SMP feel like?

+

Most Perth clients are surprised by how comfortable it is. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand. The sensation is a light scratching — far milder than a regular tattoo. Most describe it as a 3 out of 10. Sessions run 3–4 hours with regular breaks. Michael regularly has clients fall asleep during treatment.

How many sessions will I need?

+

Most clients require 2–3 sessions spaced 7–10 days apart. Session one lays the base layer. Session two builds density and refines the hairline under healed skin conditions. A third session (if needed) perfects the result. You will see visible results from your very first appointment.

Will people be able to tell it's not real hair?

+

No. When performed by a skilled artist like Michael, SMP is 100% undetectable. Pigments are colour-matched to your hair tone and applied to mimic the exact size and pattern of natural follicles. Our clients regularly report that friends, partners, and even barbers assume their hair simply "grew back."

Can women get Scalp Micropigmentation in Perth?

+

Absolutely. Women's SMP is one of our most popular treatments. Rather than a buzzcut effect, we add pigment between your existing hairs to create the illusion of density and thickness. No shaving required. Ideal for thinning hair, alopecia, or sparse hairlines — your style stays exactly the same, it just looks dramatically fuller.

Where are you located? Do you serve all of Perth?

+

My Transformation is at Shop 6 / 165 Summerlakes Parade, Ballajura WA 6066 — easily accessible from the northern suburbs and Perth CBD with free parking. We see clients from across Perth including Joondalup, Stirling, Midland, and beyond. Free video consultations available if you'd prefer to chat from home first.

What's the aftercare like?

+

Aftercare is simple — keep the scalp dry for 4–5 days, avoid direct sun and swimming for a week, and don't shave for 10 days after each session. We provide a full aftercare guide and Michael is always available to answer questions between sessions. There is no downtime — most clients return to work the next day.
