What Is Full Scalp Micropigmentation?

Full scalp micropigmentation covers the entire balding area in one planned design. Thousands of tiny pigment dots are placed in the top layer of the skin across the front, top, crown and any thin patches on the sides. The goal is a single, uniform shade that makes the head look closely shaved rather than bald.

Because the treated area is large, the work is split into three or four sessions. The first builds a light base. Later sessions add depth, correct uneven spots and blend the edges into your natural hair at the back and sides. You keep the rest of your hair clipped short so the pigment and real stubble look the same. For men with little donor hair left, it is often the most practical option a hair transplant center in Lahore can offer.

Full Scalp Micropigmentation Candidates

• Norwood 5 to 7 hair loss: large areas of baldness across the top and crown.
• Total or near-total baldness: including alopecia where little hair remains.
• Poor donor supply: too few donor grafts to cover the whole scalp with a transplant.
• Comfortable with short hair: you are happy to keep a clipped, buzz-cut style long term.
• Healthy scalp skin: no active infection, open wounds or flaring scalp condition on the day.

Full Scalp Micropigmentation Treatment

1. Coverage mapping: we mark every bald and thin zone and agree how far the design will extend.
2. Hairline drawing: a soft, age-appropriate front line is drawn and approved by Dr. Aneel and by you.
3. Base session: a light, evenly spaced layer of dots is placed across the whole area after numbing cream.
4. Density session: two to four weeks later, more dots are added to deepen the shade and close gaps.
5. Blending session: the edges are feathered into your natural hair at the back and sides.
6. Final check: we look at the healed scalp in daylight and add a short finishing session if needed.

First 24 hours	The whole scalp looks pink. Keep it dry and do not touch the treated skin.
Day 2 – 4	Redness fades. Fine flaking starts over the dots.
Day 4 – 7	No gym, sauna, swimming or strong sun on the head until flaking ends.
Week 1 – 2	Clip your natural hair short again so it matches the pigment.
Week 2 – 4	Some dots look lighter as the skin settles. The next session corrects this.

How many sessions does full scalp SMP need?

Usually three to four, spaced two to four weeks apart. Large or very pale scalps sometimes need one extra finishing session.

Do I have to keep my head shaved?

You need to keep any natural hair clipped very short. That way the real stubble and the pigment dots look the same.

Can full scalp SMP cover alopecia?

In many cases, yes. The pigment only sits in the skin, so it can cover areas where hair no longer grows. We check that the scalp is stable first.

Will the color turn blue or green?

Pigment is matched to your hair and skin in daylight and placed at a shallow depth to keep a natural dark shade. Over years it fades lighter and is refreshed with a touch-up.
