What is Scalp Micro Pigmentation?

The Shadow Clinic is a leading Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) clinic in Tauranga and Hamilton, specialising in advanced, non-surgical solutions for hair loss in men and women.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a highly detailed cosmetic procedure that carefully deposits specialised pigment into the scalp to replicate the natural look of real hair follicles. When worn as a shaved, cropped, or buzzed hairstyle, SMP creates the appearance of a fuller, sharper, natural-looking hairline widely regarded as one of the most realistic hair loss solutions available today.

Our SMP treatments are ideal for clients experiencing:

Male Pattern Baldness
Receding hairlines
Thinning hair or diffuse hair loss
Alopecia
Complete baldness
Scar camouflage (FUE, FUT & trauma scars)

Whether your hair loss is early-stage or advanced, Scalp Micropigmentation can restore the appearance of density, definition, and confidence — without surgery.

Unlike hair transplants or temporary cosmetic fixes, SMP involves:

❌ No surgery
❌ No scarring
❌ No medication
❌ No wigs or fibres

Results are immediate. You’ll walk out after your first session with a visible hairline and improved density, with minimal downtime. Most clients return to work and social life quickly — hat-free and confident.

Scalp Micropigmentation is suitable for all ages, skin tones, and hair colours. Treatments are typically completed over 3 sessions, spaced around a week apart, allowing for a gradual, subtle build-up of pigment that blends seamlessly with your natural hair.

At The Shadow Clinic Tauranga & Hamilton, every SMP treatment is custom-designed, precision-applied, and performed with an obsessive focus on realism, balance, and long-term results.

If you’re looking for a proven, natural-looking hair loss solution in Tauranga or Hamilton, Scalp Micropigmentation at The Shadow Clinic delivers confidence instantly.

Testimonials

– Jay

I did extensive research into SMP and came to find a variety of treatment results. Having finished my third session with Dean, the job he’s done completely blew my expectations out of the water, even when comparing them to some of the best results I could find online from around the world (I reiterate, I did a lot of research!)

My first consultation was quick, it didn’t take long for Dean and I to establish the direction of the treatment. My personal preferences, my skin tone, the shape of my head… He covered every factor. But, the consultation was ongoing throughout. He continued to check in with my thoughts on the treatment, especially as the pigments healed between sessions.

I was receding slightly, but thinning heavily on my crown, which was effecting how I valued my appearance. After the treatment, I no longer have this issue, and I can’t thank Dean enough for the realistic and professional job he’s done and the confidence it’s given me in myself, truly.

Above all, Dean is a quality human who’s company I enjoyed throughout the entire procedure, to the extent that I was a bit gutted that they’d ended. Time flew by witnessing a leading SMP practitioner at work, chatting about our passion for home cooking, and sharing stories of our travels.

-Tom

Two years ago I stumbled across the shadow clinic on Facebook and it instantly grabbed my attention. About 20 years the front of my hair started to recede, this didn’t phase me too much until fast forward 10 years the top decided to join the party, then the last ten years had my head hiding under a hat, to ashamed to ever remove it because of my own insecurities.

What can I say. Meeting Dean from the shadow clinic has changed my life. Dean’s professionalism is second to none, from the first consultation to the last treatment, Dean put me at ease with absolutely no pressure. Dean from the shadow clinic in Papamoa anyone thinking about SMP should at least talk to Dean.

I can’t thank you enough mate.

Thank you for giving me a piece of my life back that’s been missing for so long.
