Reclaim your confidence.

Scalp micropigmentation can look incredible when it is done right. But if the color fades unevenly, the dots blur, the hairline looks too harsh, or you simply want a fresh start, laser can be an effective way to reset.

We use PicoWay technology for tattoo and permanent makeup removal. Our goal with SMP is natural-looking improvement through careful fading, correction, or removal, with an approach tailored to your scalp, pigment, and end goal.

Pro tip

Bring photos of your SMP right after it was done, if you have them. They help us understand the original density and design so we can plan the most natural correction.

What we treat.

Hairline correction

Soften harsh edges, reshape, or blend uneven SMP.

SMP fading

Lighten pigment for a redo or a more natural finish.

Partial scalp removal

Treat the crown, temples, or specific zones.

Full scalp removal

How SMP removal works.

SMP is pigment placed in the scalp to mimic hair follicles. Ultra-short picosecond pulses break that pigment into tiny particles, which your body gradually clears.

Evaluate

Hairline design, saturation, and pigment behavior guide your settings.

Treat

We fade strategically, targeting the areas that create harshness or imbalance first.

Refine

Sessions are spaced to support healing and gradual clearance.

What most clients notice

Visible fading after the first session is common. Total sessions depend on pigment depth, skin type, density, and your desired endpoint (fading or full removal).

SMP removal FAQs.

Can you fade SMP without full removal?

Yes. Many clients want SMP fading to soften the hairline, reduce density, or prepare for a redo. We tailor sessions to your goal.

How many sessions will it take?

Many clients see visible fading after the first session. Total sessions depend on pigment depth, saturation, and whether you want fading or full removal.

Does SMP removal hurt?

Sensation varies, but most clients describe quick snaps similar to tattoo removal. We use strong cooling support and a controlled pace.

Is PicoWay safe for the scalp?

PicoWay is widely used for pigment and tattoo removal. For the scalp, technique and planning matter, so we tailor a conservative approach based on your scalp and SMP.
