Thinning hair doesn't always require surgery.
Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic option that creates the look of fuller, natural-looking hair.
Personalized SMP by Hannah Lee, with carefully planned design and private, one-on-one care.
Why clients come to us
Genetics
A receding hairline or thinning crown that runs in the family.
Stress
Shedding or diffuse thinning that leaves hair looking less full.
Post-transplant gaps
Areas a transplant didn't fully cover, or visible donor scars.
Visible scalp
Scalp showing through under light, at the part or at the crown.
Find the right SMP service
SMP is a cosmetic service. Tiny pigment impressions create the appearance of hair follicles or fuller density. It does not grow hair or treat hair loss.
Full SMP (Shaved Look)
Solves: advanced hair loss — a clean, closely shaved look.
The look of a closely shaved head, with a designed hairline and even coverage.
Learn moreHairline Design
Solves: a receding or uneven hairline.
A soft, natural-looking front edge planned around your face and age.
Learn moreDensity Enhancement
Solves: visible scalp through thinning hair.
Pigment placed between existing hairs to reduce visible scalp in thinning areas.
Learn moreFemale SMP
Solves: a widening part or diffuse thinning.
Subtle density for a widening part or diffuse thinning, without shaving.
Learn moreScar Camouflage
Solves: post-transplant gaps and visible scars.
Helps reduce the visibility of FUE, FUT and other scalp scars.
Learn moreFull SMP creates the look of a closely shaved head across the scalp. Density Enhancement adds pigment between existing hairs, so longer hair looks fuller with less visible scalp.

Sessions are spaced one to two weeks apart so the skin settles fully before density is added.

Scalp analysis and design
Density mapping, pigment matching and a hairline drawn for your face — approved by you before anything begins.
Session 1 — base layering
The foundation is placed lighter than the final result, establishing shape and structure.
Session 2 — refinement
Depth is added, healing variance corrected and the edge refined until it reads natural at every distance.
Optional final session
A last detail pass for those who want extra depth, plus your aftercare and long-term maintenance plan.
Complimentary minor refinement

Hannah Lee and the private studio
Every appointment is one-on-one with Hannah in a private Los Angeles studio. She plans each hairline and density pattern for the individual rather than using a template.
- Individual design for every client
- Density built gradually over multiple sessions
- Private, one-on-one sessions
Pricing is personal. It depends on the treatment area, how much coverage you need and your plan. Hannah gives you an individual estimate after your complimentary consultation.
