✨ Sick of hiding Scarring under a hat?
This close-up shows scalp micropigmentation (SMP) used to camouflage a scalp scar by carefully blending pigment into the surrounding skin.
SMP is commonly used to reduce the visibility of FUE and FUT hair transplant scars, as well as scars from injury or surgery. The goal is not to “cover” the scar, but to break up contrast so it blends naturally with the rest of the scalp — even when hair is worn short.
Every scar is different. Factors such as skin type, scar texture, colour, and age are assessed to achieve a realistic result.
Scar camouflage SMP is a non-surgical solution that can significantly improve the appearance of scalp scars when performed correctly.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
If you’re dealing with thinning hair, receding temples, or patchy density — and you’re over temporary fixes — there is a proven solution.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an advanced cosmetic procedure changing lives worldwide — and it may be exactly what you’ve been looking for here in Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty region.
💡 What is SMP?
SMP is not a traditional tattoo, and it doesn’t grow hair.
It’s a highly specialised cosmetic treatment that replicates the appearance of natural hair follicles using precision micro-needles and custom pigment — creating the illusion of a fuller, sharper, hair density.
✔ SMP is ideal for:
• Thinning hair
• Receding hairlines
• Male & female pattern baldness
• Alopecia
• Scar camouflage (FUE, FUT & trauma)
The result?
A clean, natural, confidence-boosting look tailored to your skin tone, hair colour, and style.
No hats.
No cover-ups.
Just confidence — every day.
