What is Botched SMP?
If your scalp colour micropigmentation (SMP) experience left you feeling disappointed or self-conscious, know that you’re not alone. Many people face the frustration of botched SMP procedures, often the result of poorly executed techniques. When SMP isn’t performed correctly, the outcomes can be far from ideal—unnatural pigment colours, inconsistent dot sizes, or an awkward, artificial-looking hairline. These errors not only diminish the procedure’s intended benefits but also leave you with a sense of regret instead of renewed confidence.
Such issues frequently occur when SMP is carried out by individuals who lack the proper training or expertise. Sometimes, tattoo artists without specialised knowledge in scalp micropigmentation attempt to perform these intricate procedures, leading to unsatisfactory results. Fortunately, these mistakes are not permanent, and there’s a way to restore the look you originally envisioned. Expert SMP repair services can correct these flaws, ensuring a natural, seamless appearance that aligns with your expectations.


Signs of a Botched SMP Procedure
You've likely experienced a poorly done SMP procedure if you notice:
- Uneven or unnatural dot sizes
- Incorrect pigment colour that doesn’t match your skin tone
- Misaligned or unnatural hairlines
- Pigments that appear overly dark or overly light
- Visible mistakes or imperfections disrupting the overall appearance

What To Expect During Your Appointment

We will also take the time to explain the repair process thoroughly, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the procedure and what it entails at each stage.
On the day of the repair procedure, our specialists will carefully prepare your scalp to ensure optimal results. Using advanced pigments and precise application techniques, we will address the previous errors and work to restore a natural appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can you correct a botched SMP procedure?
Our specialists in Manchester, UK utilise state-of-the-art methods and premium pigments to fix common SMP issues, such as irregular dot sizes, off-tone pigments, and poorly designed hairlines. The objective is to restore a flawless, natural look that complements your existing hair seamlessly.
Is laser removal necessary for botched SMP?
In some instances, we may recommend laser removal to lighten excessively dark pigments, making it easier to achieve a more natural and accurate colour during the repair process. This step enhances the final outcome by improving pigment blending.
What is the difference between SMP and permanent makeup?
Although both SMP and permanent makeup use pigment application, SMP is specifically tailored for recreating the appearance of hair follicles on the scalp, requiring specialised techniques and custom pigments to produce natural results, especially for those dealing with thinning or hair loss.
Can you fix bad SMP done by tattoo artists?
Absolutely! Many tattoo artists without SMP-specific training may cause subpar results. Fortunately, our team has the expertise to correct these mistakes, improving the hairline and overall look for a more realistic and natural appearance.
How long does the SMP repair work take?
The length of the SMP repair process depends on the severity of the initial procedure and the final result you want. In some cases, multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal outcomes. Typically, each session lasts a few hours, depending on the work needed.
What should I expect during the healing process?
After each SMP repair session, mild redness and irritation on your scalp are normal, but they usually subside within a few days. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your scalp heals properly and the results last for a long time.
Are the results of SMP repair treatment permanent?
The results of SMP repair are typically long-lasting, although periodic touch-ups might be needed to maintain the desired look.
