Hair loss and thinning hair can be emotionally challenging—but not everyone is ready for or eligible for hair transplant surgery. That’s where Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) comes in—a non-surgical, highly effective cosmetic solution that creates the illusion of fuller, thicker hair. At WJ Wonjin Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, Korea, patients receive advanced SMP procedures performed by skilled medical specialists using medical-grade pigments and artistry-driven techniques.
Whether you’re experiencing male pattern baldness, thinning hair, or simply want to refine your hairline, WJ Wonjin’s SMP service delivers natural, lasting results in a luxurious, internationally renowned setting.
What Is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive cosmetic tattoo procedure that replicates the appearance of natural hair follicles on the scalp. Using micro-needles, pigments are deposited into the upper layers of the dermis to simulate the look of:
- A closely-shaved buzz cut
- A denser scalp under thinning hair
- A stronger hairline shape
- Camouflaged scars from previous surgeries or injury
Unlike traditional tattoos, SMP at WJ Wonjin uses custom-matched medical pigments designed specifically for scalp application, ensuring realistic results that won’t turn blue or green over time.
