Tom Scalp Micropigmentation: One Year Later Review

Skalp has helped thousands of men regain confidence through professional scalp micropigmentation (SMP) treatment. But what happens a year after the procedure?

We caught up with Tom, 31, to see how he feels 12 months after his Skalp® Micro Pigmentation treatment. Was he still happy with the results? Would he recommend it? And has he experienced any issues since?

The answers speak volumes.

From Gradual Hair Loss to Confidence Boost

Tom, a soldier stationed in Stafford, lives an ultra-fit lifestyle. Between military duties and competitive body building, appearance and discipline matter to him.

Like many men experiencing male pattern baldness, Tom couldn’t pinpoint exactly when his hair loss began. It was gradual — almost unnoticeable at first — starting in his early twenties and progressively worsening over seven to eight years.

As is common with androgenetic alopecia, the slow thinning made it easy to ignore. Until it wasn’t.

When his mates in the barracks started joking about his receding hairline, it hit home. Though not overly sensitive, Tom takes pride in his appearance. His physique reflected his dedication — but his thinning hair was affecting his self-esteem.

He admits he began feeling older than his years.

Searching for Hair Loss Solutions

Like many men researching hair loss treatments, Tom spent hours online exploring options. From temporary cosmetic sprays to miracle cures, he encountered plenty of dubious solutions.

Eventually, he considered a hair transplant consultation in London’s Harley Street medical district.

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.

The Hair Transplant Consultation

The consultation felt rushed and impersonal. The procedure wasn’t clearly explained, and Tom didn’t feel comfortable asking questions. Temporary markings were placed on his scalp to map out a transplant — and were not properly removed, leaving him embarrassed later in public.

More concerning was the price: £8,500 for a procedure without guaranteed results.

For Tom, the financial risk and lack of reassurance were deal breakers.

Discovering Skalp® Scalp Micropigmentation

A year ago, Tom came across Skalp® via an online forum discussion about scalp micropigmentation in the UK.

The difference was immediate.

Instead of pressure, he experienced:

Transparent information
Clear explanations of the SMP process
Friendly, down-to-earth practitioners
Realistic expectations

At the Manchester clinic, Tom was treated in Sabina, whose professionalism and skill put him completely at ease.

Unlike his transplant consultation, Tom felt informed, respected, and confident in his decision.

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair loss solution that uses specialised pigments applied to the scalp to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles.

It creates the look of:

A sharp buzz cut
A denser shaved head
A fuller hairline
Camouflage for thinning areas

Unlike hair transplants, SMP is:

Non-invasive
Low maintenance
Immediate in visual impact
More cost-effective
Suitable for various stages of hair loss

One Year Later: Tom’s Honest Review

Twelve months after his treatment, Tom’s verdict is clear:

He wishes he had done it sooner.

His confidence has significantly improved. He feels younger, sharper, and more in control of his appearance — especially important in competitive body building, where image plays a role in presentation.

Importantly:

The pigmentation has remained strong and natural-looking.
No complications or issues have arisen.
He returned for a routine top-up to maintain optimal sharpness.

Tom continues to stay in touch with the Skalp® team — a testament to the long-term relationship and aftercare support they provide.
