Trainer : Samuel Troonen
Hair loss and thinning hair affect millions of people, regardless of age or gender. As demand for effective, non-surgical solutions continues to grow, one treatment stands out: Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP).
Also known as Tricopigmentation, Scalp Micropigmentation is an advanced cosmetic procedure that creates the realistic appearance of hair follicles through the precise implantation of specialized pigments into the scalp.
Scalp Micropigmentation can be used to:
Conceal baldness and hair loss
Create the appearance of greater density in thinning hair
Enhance and complement hair transplant results
More than just a technique, Scalp Micropigmentation transforms your clients' confidence while opening new opportunities for your practice.
This course represents the culmination of over 15 years of experience, bringing together the knowledge, techniques, and protocols that have been refined through thousands of procedures and the training of practitioners around the world.
Throughout this program, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of every essential aspect of Scalp Micropigmentation, from consultation to treatment execution.
You will learn:
How to conduct a professional consultation and identify the right treatment for each client.
How to evaluate indications and contraindications.
The secrets to performing Scalp Micropigmentation under the best possible conditions.
When and how to create a realistic shaved-head effect.
How to determine the ideal hair length for optimal visual results.
The principles of density enhancement, including when this technique is indicated and how to achieve natural-looking outcomes.
This training combines both theoretical knowledge and practical application.
Before working on synthetic skin and live models, you will complete a series of paper exercises specifically designed to develop precision and consistency in point placement—the foundation of every successful Scalp Micropigmentation procedure.
Throughout the course, you will learn several point implantation techniques, including:
Classic points, the foundation of traditional SMP.
Variable intensity points, allowing you to create light, medium, or high-density effects depending on your client's needs.
Assisted point techniques, developed to help practitioners better control pressure and implantation depth for greater consistency.
The Zigzag protocol, an advanced technique that creates texture and depth by producing a subtle pixelated effect.
AirDots® technology, one of the latest innovations in Scalp Micropigmentation, designed to create exceptionally natural transitions and expand the range of aesthetic possibilities available to practitioners.
Pixel technic which delivers the highest intensity.
Mastering these different techniques will enable you to confidently adapt your treatments to virtually every clinical situation and consistently meet your clients' expectations.
This program covers both the shaved-head effect and density enhancement, making it suitable for practitioners who wish to broaden their expertise regardless of their current experience level.
Whether you are just beginning your journey or already an experienced practitioner, you will discover advanced concepts, refined protocols, and practical insights that will elevate the quality of your work.

Mathis travels the world as part of his professional career, yet he chose to trust our expertise for his shaved-head effect treatment.
Our course program has been developed by experienced Scalp Micropigmentation professionals to give you all the essential tools and knowledge needed to perform successful procedures and launch your activity with confidence.
Your training will begin with a comprehensive theoretical section led by Samuel Troonen, an experienced trainer and practitioner who performs several hundred hours of procedures every year.
Throughout this section, you will explore key topics such as:
Fundamentals of Scalp Micropigmentation
Equipment and tools
Defining treatment areas
Procedure methodology
Step-by-step creation of a shaved-head effect
Treatment planning and work assessment
And much more
Once you have mastered the theoretical foundations, you will be able to put your knowledge into practice using downloadable training exercises available directly in your course content.
These exercises must be fully mastered before progressing to live model practice, as they are designed to help you develop the precision, consistency, and technical control required for successful Scalp Micropigmentation procedures.
Our team remains available throughout your training to review and assess your work. You can submit your exercises by email to info@medico-derm.be, and we will provide you with feedback and guidance to support your continued progression.
Online training is an excellent way to begin your journey into Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP). As this is a highly precise and technical discipline, having unlimited access to the course content gives you the freedom to learn at your own pace, revisit key concepts, and review any sections whenever necessary.
The program has been designed to provide a level of content comparable to an in-person academy course. It covers all the essential principles of Scalp Micropigmentation, together with the professional techniques, practical advice, and valuable insights shared by your trainer.
Once you feel confident with the theoretical foundations, you can begin developing your practical skills by working on synthetic practice materials and, when appropriate, progressing to live models, following the methodology and recommendations taught throughout the program.
This online module is particularly suited to independent and self-motivated practitioners who want to discover the technique or further develop their SMP skills.
However, mastering Scalp Micropigmentation requires more than theoretical knowledge. True technical proficiency is developed through many hours of focused, hands-on practice.
If you would like to refine your technique, gain additional practical experience, or receive direct guidance from our trainers, you can complement your online education with hands-on training at our academy.
