SMP shaved effect · Barcelona
The shaved effect visually recreates thousands of follicles on the scalp to create the appearance of very short hair. Natural appearance depends especially on hairline design, density and transition.
Completed cases
Examples with different starting points. The strategy changes according to the existing hair, the size of the area and the goal.
Case 6
Advanced male alopecia visually compatible with an approximate Norwood V pattern, without presenting this as a clinical diagnosis. The hairline was reconstructed to respect facial features and structure, and the shaved effect was blended with the remaining hair. Oily skin.

Case 8
Extensive crown loss surrounded by remaining hair. A shaved hairstyle was recommended to achieve visual consistency between the natural follicles and micropigmentation and to optically reconstruct the area.

Case 10
Advanced frontal and top-area alopecia with hair retained on the sides and back. A hairline proportionate to age, facial features and facial structure was designed, maintaining natural recession and integrating the entire top area.

Case 11
Patient with fair skin, fine hair and low frontal and top density. He preferred a more defined result, so the intensity, pigment mix and hairline design were personalised to match his preference while maintaining overall coherence.
View full case →This is the type of scalp micropigmentation in which pigment is used to recreate the appearance of visible follicles on a shaved or very short scalp. The result should read as hair, not as a pigmented surface.
A hairline that is too straight, dark or compact can make the result look harsh. The design should take age, facial structure, recession, lateral density and future evolution into account. The frontal transition usually requires a more open, progressive distribution.
It is built in layers and sessions. The first layer establishes structure; later layers make it possible to reinforce density, integrate areas and correct small differences once the way the skin heals has been observed.
Yes, but the length and distribution need to be coherent. If hair remains in some areas and is absent in others, the design should visually unify the overall appearance.
Pigment loses intensity over time. The rate depends especially on skin type, sun exposure and habits. Touch-ups are assessed according to actual evolution rather than a fixed date for everyone.
It can be considered for people with advanced alopecia, pronounced recession or areas with little coverage who want to wear their hair very short. It can also help integrate certain differences between areas with hair and areas without it, provided the overall design remains coherent.
A natural hairline should not look as though it was drawn with a ruler. Age, facial features, head shape and the existing hair pattern determine its height, shape and transition. I aim for progressive, visually credible recession, avoiding excessively compact or artificial edges.
The pigment should blend with the appearance of real follicles and the skin tone. Intensity is built progressively and can be adjusted between sessions according to observed retention. The aim is for the dots to form part of the overall result rather than stand out individually.
The result is built over several sessions. After each one, the skin needs to recover and the pigment evolves. That evolution provides information about how much to reinforce at the next session and allows greater control than trying to achieve full intensity at once.
