A refined, customizable solution for hair thinning, recession, or visible scalp, Scalp Micropigmentation at StudioMD SoHo, NYC, replicates the look of natural follicles with exceptional precision. This treatment restores density, defines hairlines, and offers long-lasting confidence for patients seeking a modern, non-surgical answer to hair loss.
A Modern, Realistic Solution for Thinning Hair
StudioMD brings advanced Scalp Micropigmentation to SoHo, NYC, blending medical expertise with artistic mastery. Our approach focuses on subtle details, such as pigment tone, spacing, and follicle patterning, to ensure results that look natural in all lighting conditions. Whether you want the appearance of a clean buzz cut or enhanced density through longer hair, we tailor each treatment to your goals and scalp characteristics.
Cost: Costs of SMP may vary depending on the size of the affected area. Full scalp (from hair line to all the way to crown) is $4700 and takes 3 sessions to complete.
What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation is a highly specialized cosmetic treatment that uses micro-impressions of pigment to simulate hair follicles within the scalp. Each point is placed using controlled depth and precision, creating the look of closely shaved hair or fuller density. SMP is ideal for individuals experiencing thinning, balding, alopecia, or visible transplant scarring.
Your appointment begins with a detailed analysis of your facial proportions, hair growth patterns, and desired style. Together, you and your artist design a hairline that fits naturally with your bone structure and age, ensuring your SMP complements your look rather than overpowering it.
Precise Pigment Placement
Using ultra-fine microneedles and organic carbon-based pigment, your artist creates small, follicle-like impressions across the treatment area. Each point is placed deliberately to replicate the scattered, organic pattern of real hair growth. This level of detail is essential for realism.
Layering for Depth and Density
SMP is performed over multiple sessions to gradually build density. Layering pigment allows your practitioner to adjust shade, spacing, and contrast, resulting in a multidimensional appearance that mimics natural follicle shading. This slow build also ensures the final look remains subtle and customizable.
Blending With Existing Hair
Your artist blends the pigment seamlessly into surrounding areas, whether you have a shaved style or longer hair. Proper blending prevents visible borders, ensuring your SMP looks cohesive and remains easy to maintain over time. This step is critical for patients seeking density enhancement within thinning zones.

Dr. Qazi and her entire staff have warm and welcoming demeanors, a high degree of hospitality, positive attitudes, always smiling and acting with the utmost level of respect, patient care, and making each patient feel special. They focus on client comfort and take their time with each person answering any and all questions. Dr. Qazi never rushes her appointments. She takes the time to listen to every concern and is thorough in each interaction I've had with her. She gave me her personal cell number so even during nights and weekends if a concern or question arises I am able to contact her for a mini evaluation of my issue or answering of my questions. The care I've received has continued long after the procedure was completed and I am so glad that I chose her to do my tummy tuck and liposuction. The results are outstanding and she is the only one I would trust to do any cosmetic procedures going forward.

I went to StudioMD's midtown location for laser tattoo removal. Jennifer is extremely personable, she ensured expectations for the amount of sessions needed for removal as well as ensured my comfort during the treatment. I chose to purchase a package for 6-sessions, and would consider seeking other treatments from StudioMD in the future. Would definitely recommend them to others, and in particular recommend working with Jennifer.

I recently had a SmartLipo procedure with Dr. Khan at Studio MD, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. From my very first consultation to the post-op follow-ups, Dr. Khan demonstrated exceptional professionalism, skill, and care. What really stood out to me was his communication. He took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot!), and never made me feel rushed. He made sure I understood exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Dr. Khan's attention to detail is second to none. He was incredibly meticulous with his work, ensuring that everything was done with precision and care. I felt completely confident in his hands, and the results have exceeded my expectations. His thoroughness also extends to aftercare. He gave me clear post-op instructions, and made sure my recovery was smooth. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in delivering excellent outcomes. If you're considering SmartLipo or any cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Khan. His expertise, communication, and attention to every little detail make him one of the best in the field. Thank you, Dr. Khan and the team at Studio MD!

I recently went into StudioMD to have a procedure done by Dr. Khan. Specifically, I wanted to treat excess fat in my abdominal area and decided to opt for smart lipo. Dr. Khan is very sure of himself as a doctor, which put a lot of my woes to the side. This was my first large cosmetic surgery, so I was extremely nervous. On the day of my procedure, I was delayed because some events were happening in the city, and Dr. Khan and his nurses were extremely accommodating. They let me take my time (I had to pee and just couldn't because of nerves until 2 minutes before surgery) and even gave me pep talks and stress balls to calm my nerves. When we got to work, it was quick and effortless. Dr. Khan allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted and even called the next day to see how I was doing. They prescribed meds that were ready for pickup immediately and even gave me additional meds that I asked for pain management just in case. One of the amazing nurse technicians even text me afterward and shared her favorite shapewear and other things to help with recovery. I know many of these things seem like, "yeah, they should do that", but I've seen a lot of practices that don't. I also felt the price was fairly affordable since I've seen similar pricing outside of NYC. I'm beginning to feel beautiful in my body again, and I am so thankful to Dr. Khan and his staff. I'll be back soon for some other small cosmetic procedures I want to keep up.

I was referred to Dr. Khan to have neck liposuction and decided to also have my midsection done to correct uneven results from another doctor. Understanding that revision work can be difficult... my expectations were low. I could see immediately after the surgery just how much he improved my situation. Dr Khan operates with the confidence of a seasoned professional. You really can't go wrong with this guy.
“I had my lipo with Dr Khan yesterday and today I can already see the desired changes in my waist and belly area ,I am happy with his performance”
Recovery
Most patients experience very little downtime. Mild redness may occur immediately after treatment, but it typically fades within a few hours. You may resume daily activities the same day, although avoiding excessive sweating, sun exposure, and washing the scalp for several days helps preserve pigment.
As your scalp heals, the impressions soften slightly and take on their final appearance. StudioMD provides personalized aftercare instructions regarding moisturizers, cleaning routines, and long-term sun protection to protect pigment integrity. Following these recommendations ensures your Scalp Micropigmentation SoHo, NYC results last as long as possible.

Ask About Our Financing Options During Your Consultation
Most patients enjoy results for 3–6 years before a touch-up is required. Longevity depends on lifestyle factors, sun exposure, and skin chemistry, but maintenance is simple and infrequent.
Can SMP cover transplant scars?
Yes. Scalp Micropigmentation is highly effective for concealing FUT strip scars and FUE dot scarring. The pigment blends texture and tone differences for smoother, less noticeable coverage.
Is SMP painful?
Sensation varies, but most people describe the procedure as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Because SMP uses very fine needles and does not penetrate deeply, discomfort remains minimal for most patients.
Does SMP work for women as well as men?
Absolutely. Women commonly use SMP to reduce the contrast of visible scalp lines, enhance thinning part lines, or create the appearance of thicker volume without changing hairstyle length.
How many sessions are needed?
Most patients receive 2–4 sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart. Additional sessions may be required for larger areas or extensive scar camouflage, ensuring optimal color balance and realism.
