Subtle Density. Natural Definition.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment designed to restore the appearance of thicker, fuller hair by replicating natural hair follicles using advanced cosmetic tattooing techniques.
Whether you're experiencing hair thinning, pattern baldness, or scarring, SMP offers a highly realistic, low-maintenance solution that enhances your natural hairline, camouflages scalp visibility, and gives the illusion of density — all without surgery, downtime, or daily upkeep.
At Ellia SPMU, we specialise in delivering exceptionally natural results through customised pigment selection, expert mapping, and precision application — ensuring every treatment is tailored to your skin tone, hair colour, and desired style.
What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
SMP involves the meticulous implantation of pigment into the scalp using ultra-fine needles to mimic the look of real hair follicles. This technique creates a soft, shadowed effect that gives the appearance of shaved hair, added volume, or a more defined hairline.
It’s not about bold tattoos — it’s about refined enhancement. The result is undetectable, believable density that restores confidence and frames your features beautifully.

✓ Male or female pattern baldness
✓ Receding hairlines or uneven edges
