Local council licensing

Your own practice

Build a foundation for starting your SMP business or adding scalp micropigmentation to your existing services.

Advanced SMP for hair restoration & scar camouflage

Develop specialist skills relevant to SMP studios and hair transplant clinics, including male and female hair density, alopecia camouflage, post-transplant FUE and FUT scar camouflage, and post-traumatic scar camouflage.

Learn from Lyubov Neycheva’s extensive experience working within a hair transplant clinic, with a focus on individual assessment, adapted pigment application and healed results.

WHY CHOOSE MICROPIXINK

Develop your skills through individual guidance, extensive supervised practice and continued professional support.

12 LIVE MODELS — FROM FIRST SESSION TO HEALED RESULTS

Our Signature programme includes 12 live models. You carry out your own complete treatments, following the same models from their first session through healing and subsequent sessions to completion.

You perform every stage yourself. Your trainer stays beside you to supervise and guide you while you carry out the practical work.

At each return visit, you assess how your own work has healed, examine pigment retention and identify what the next session requires. You then plan and carry out that session yourself.

This gives you experience of managing an ongoing treatment: following your client’s progress, evaluating your decisions and learning from the healed results of your own work.

INDIVIDUAL GUIDANCE

Most practical training is delivered one-to-one.

Teaching is adapted to your hand speed, coordination and learning needs, helping you develop a controlled, consistent technique.

ADVANCED EXPERTISE IN HAIR TRANSPLANT, ALOPECIA & SCAR CAMOUFLAGE

Learn from Lyubov Neycheva, whose extensive experience working within a hair transplant clinic informs her teaching.

Her experience includes SMP after hair transplantation, FUE and FUT scar camouflage, post-traumatic scar camouflage, alopecia camouflage, male and female hair density, and female hairline restoration.

This specialist background takes your learning beyond the shaved-head look. Learn to assess different skin characteristics, areas affected by alopecia, scar tissue and surrounding hair patterns, and adapt your treatment decisions to the individual case.

Develop skills relevant to complex camouflage cases and professional practice within hair restoration settings.

SIX MONTHS OF CONTINUED SUPPORT

The Signature programme includes six months of post-qualification support.

Graduates can return to the studio to work on their own models at no additional studio charge, with a trainer present to provide guidance as they build experience and develop their independent practice.

PREPARE BEFORE YOUR PRACTICAL TRAINING

Your preparation kit is dispatched 1–2 months before practical training, depending on your chosen pathway.

Student portal access supports your preparation and gives structure to your learning between sessions.
