Treatment For Hair Loss With Scalp Micro Pigmentation In Maryland
SCALP MICRO PIGMENTATION (SMP)
What is SMP?
Scalp Micro Pigmentation, or SMP, is a process through which men and women can achieve fuller, thicker-looking hair. It is also effective for men who wish to restore their receding hairline.
In recent years, SMP has become a popular alternative to hair transplants and other hair restoration treatments.
How does it work?
The goal of SMP to use tiny, layered dots in different hues of black to replicate the look of a shadow on your scalp. This style, referred to as pointillism, is done to create natural-looking depth and definition.
A skilled SMP practitioner will work to ensure the dots look like a natural hair follicles and blend in seamlessly with your complexion.
This process may be useful for people who experience all forms of hair loss. This includes folks with:
- cancer
- alopecia
- thinning hair
- male and female pattern baldness
SMP can also be useful for hiding scars on the scalp. It’s popular with men who have had FUT hair transplants and want to permanently hide the scar from the procedure.
Am I a candidate for SMP?
This mostly depends on your situation and your goals. For those with thinning hair, SMP is a great way to create the illusion of fuller looking hair.
For men with receding hairlines, SMP can recreate your hairline, but with one stipulation: you must keep your hair short (which many men with hair loss are already doing).
The best way to discover if SMP is right for you is to come see us for a Personal consultation.

I was very pleased with my experience at Mane Center. It was great to be treated with professionalism. Doctor Burka and his wonderful team made me feel safe and even made me smile although I was extremely anxious.

Dr. Burka is very knowledgeable and honest. This is refreshing in the hair industry. He did a great job with my transplant (I added the robot option). I could not recommend him further.

Dr. Burka and his staff did an amazing job of explaining all of the options for hair restoration and the pros/cons of each. They listened to my questions and needs and helped design a specific treatment plan without prescribing or forcing any specific procedure. Additionally Dr. Burka responded to my email questions prior to choosing to work with him. Highly recommend just for a consultation and certainly for any treatment as well.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Initially, I consulted with 7 different hair transplant clinics in the NoVa/DMV area and felt that Dr. Burka was the most understanding and least salesy. During our initial free in-person consultation, he really took the time to listen to my unique situation and carefully explain all my options to achieve my goals (In comparison, most others offered virtual or rushed in-person consultations with cookie-cutter recommendations of ~2000 graft FUE and no supplementary treatments). Further, Dr. Burka’s holistic approach – including medication and specialized Alma TED treatments prior to the surgery – have really improved the efficacy of my hair transplant. Even if you live farther away from his clinic (I live ~45mins away) you won’t regret the extra travel time.Now about the hair transplant itself: I did a 4500 graft FUT which is relatively more gnarly with the incision. Dr. Burka was very meticulous, and his team ensured I was comfortable throughout the day and felt as little pain as possible. The techs who harvested then placed the grafts clearly knew exactly what they were doing and were very friendly. They actually harvested more grafts than we anticipated, but didn’t rush anything and stayed until past 7pm to make sure everything went smoothly and all the grafts were placed correctly. Everyone involved was super professional and went above & beyond to make sure I was comfortable and that I’d get the best results possible.My followup appointments for the first hair wash & stitches removal went smoothly since Dr. Burka provided very clear instructions that I followed. I’m about 3 weeks post-surgery now and everything seems to be going according to plan. I was expecting more shedding of the newly implanted grafts at this stage, but the ALMA TED treatment I got on Dr. Burka’s recommendation seems to have minimized the shedding. I’m very grateful for his uniquely well-informed advice (no other clinic in the area provided me this insight) and look forward to seeing results gradually over the coming months.Last but not least – Dr. Burka’s team is super talented and friendly. Sarah and Valerie are awesome and make me feel welcome every appointment. I can’t thank you all enough for helping me restore my hair and confidence. I look forward to coming for routine checkups in the following months!
