Density effect
For existing hair with areas where the scalp has become more visible. The aim is to visually reduce contrast and create the appearance of greater density.

Who is behind CapilArt BCN
Specialist scalp micropigmentation in Barcelona
CapilArt BCN specialises in scalp micropigmentation for men and women in Barcelona and the surrounding area. Every treatment is personally carried out by Edgar, a scalp micropigmentation specialist and founder of CapilArt BCN.
The treatment is tailored to each case and can include a density effect, shaved effect, crown, female hairline, scars and donor area, as well as visual reinforcement in selected cases after a hair transplant.

Scalp micropigmentation for your goal
Not every case is treated in the same way. Technique, intensity and dot distribution must be adapted to the existing hair, skin tone and desired result.
Scalp micropigmentation for women
In selected cases of diffuse hair loss or reduced density, treatment is carried out between existing hairs to achieve integration, uniformity and discretion without the need for a shaved effect.
Female scalp micropigmentation →
Shaved effect
Visual recreation of hair follicles to achieve the appearance of very short hair and an integrated hairline.
Shaved effect →
Scars and donor area
Optical camouflage of scars or visible contrast associated with previous hair procedures.
Scars →
Crown
Density treatment in one of the areas where the scalp is often most exposed to light.
Crown micropigmentation →
Female hairline
When there are receding areas or a more open frontal zone, micropigmentation can visually reinforce the hairline and reduce contrast without creating an artificial line.

Congenital triangular alopecia
In previously assessed cases, micropigmentation can reduce the contrast of a localised temporal area and help it blend visually with the existing hair.

After a hair transplant
It can visually complement a transplant when differences in density remain or the scalp is still visible.
Transplant + SMP →The technique
What is scalp micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation — also known as SMP or scalp micropigmentation— is a non-surgical aesthetic technique that uses tiny pigment dots on the scalp to visually recreate the appearance of hair follicles and change how areas of hair loss are perceived.
It does not generate new hair or physically increase the number of follicles. Its effect is visual: it can reduce the contrast between hair and scalp when hair is still present, or recreate the appearance of freshly shaved hair when the loss is more extensive.
The key is not simply to create dots. For the result to blend naturally, it is necessary to adapt tone, dot size, intensity, distribution and density to the real hair, skin, treated area and each person's goal.
Important: micropigmentation does not treat the cause of alopecia and does not replace medical assessment when a scalp or hair condition is present. It is an aesthetic solution designed to improve visual appearance.
When you still have hair: density effect
The pigment dots are distributed between existing hairs to visually darken the background and reduce the difference in tone between skin and hair. This can make the scalp less visible and the coverage appear more even.
How the density effect works →When there is little or no coverage: shaved effect
The appearance of thousands of follicles from very short hair is visually recreated. Hairline design, transitions and controlled irregularity are essential to avoid an artificial finish.
How the shaved effect works →Method
How is scalp micropigmentation performed?
The result is built progressively. I do not try to saturate the scalp in the first session; I prefer to see how the skin responds and increase density in a controlled way.
Personalised assessment
I assess the actual hair loss, existing hair, scalp, treatment area, background and goal. In density cases, a video parting the hair helps me evaluate the thinner areas more accurately.
Design and planning
We define the right approach: density, shaved effect, crown integration, scar camouflage or complementing a transplant. Tone, dot size and intensity are selected accordingly.
First session
A conservative, even base is created. Avoiding excessive density at the start leaves room to adjust the result according to the actual pigment retention.
Adjustment sessions
After the skin has evolved, the necessary areas are reinforced, contrasts are balanced and integration is refined. Treatment is usually planned over several sessions.
Realistic expectations
What scalp micropigmentation can achieve — and what it cannot
A good indication starts with understanding the possibilities and limitations. The aim is to achieve a credible visual improvement, not to promise a result the technique cannot deliver.
It can help to
- Visually reduce scalp contrast in areas with lower density.
- Create the appearance of very short hair with a shaved effect.
- Visually reinforce the crown, top or frontal area in suitable cases.
- Complement certain hair-transplant results.
- Optically camouflage certain scars or donor-area contrasts.
It does not
- It does not generate new hair.
- It does not increase the actual number of follicles.
- It does not stop or cure alopecia.
- It does not replace a dermatological diagnosis when a hair or scalp condition is present.
- Not every case is suitable: prior assessment is essential.
Specialist
Edgar · CapilArt BCN
My work focuses exclusively on scalp micropigmentation, with particular attention to natural appearance, dot size, tone selection and integration with real hair.
I treat every case individually because a crown, diffuse alopecia, a transplant scar or a shaved effect each require a different approach.

Frequently asked questions
Questions before scalp micropigmentation
How many sessions are needed?
Treatment is carried out over several sessions to build the result progressively. The exact number depends on the size of the area, skin type, pigment retention and final goal.
Can it be done with long hair?
Yes. In suitable cases, treatment can be performed between existing hairs to reduce the contrast between hair and scalp. It does not increase the number of hairs; it creates the optical effect of greater density.
Is it compatible with a hair transplant?
It can be. In selected cases it can serve as a visual complement when the scalp remains visible or there are differences between areas.
How long does it last?
Duration varies according to skin type, sun exposure, habits and individual response. Over time, the pigment gradually fades and maintenance may be required.
Personalised assessment
Tell me about your case before deciding
You can send well-lit photos from the front, sides, top, crown and back. If you still have a good amount of hair, a video parting it helps me assess the scalp and the actual density loss.
