How much does SMP cost?
At ScalpLiners, scalp micropigmentation costs from £250 for an early hairline up to £1,200 for a full head, and your price is the total for the whole treatment. The price depends mostly on how much scalp needs covering, so it is set by your stage of hair loss on the Norwood scale.

Find the stage that most closely matches your hair loss. If you are between stages, Mark will explain why and give you a fixed price. See the full pricing page.
What is included in the price?
Your price covers the sessions your stage needs, a custom hairline or density design, aftercare guidance and a 12-month guarantee on eligible treatments. There are no hidden extras on top.
Why photos help with the price
Clear front, side, back and top photos let Mark judge your stage, density loss, scars and the area to blend. That gives you a realistic quote without pressure. Coverage area, scar complexity, existing hair density, skin condition and whether you already have old SMP can all affect the plan.
Women's SMP, scar camouflage and alopecia
These are quoted from photos because the area and complexity vary. Prices start from £250. A top-up session is £300.
How to compare SMP prices between clinics
A low headline price can leave out the details that matter. Ask each clinic: is this the total for the whole treatment? How many sessions does it include? What does a top-up cost? Is there a guarantee? And who will actually do the work, from the first session to the last? Our guide on how to choose an SMP artist has the full checklist.
Send clear photos on WhatsApp and Mark will tell you your stage, your number of sessions and a fixed price before you travel. Private, one-to-one, in Whitstable.
