The Process
At Scalp Perfection, our scalp micropigmentation (SMP) treatment for folliculitis is designed to help clients affected by inflammation or scarring of the hair follicles. This non-surgical solution conceals uneven areas and restores the appearance of healthy, consistent hair growth, giving you renewed confidence and a natural look.
Step 1: Consultation & Mapping
We begin with a detailed consultation to assess the extent of folliculitis and any scarring or patchiness it has caused. Our specialists create a customised treatment plan that includes pigment selection, density, and coverage pattern to match your natural hair color and skin tone while ensuring minimal irritation to sensitive areas.
Step 2: Pigment Application
Across 2 to 4 sessions, our experienced technicians use fine micro-needles to implant pigment into the scalp, replicating the look of natural hair follicles. Each session builds subtle layers of texture and density to camouflage affected areas, helping your scalp appear smooth, uniform, and healthy.
Step 3: Aftercare & Maintenance
After your treatment, we provide you with complete aftercare guidance to promote healing and maintain long-lasting results. You will receive advice on keeping the scalp clean, managing sensitivity, and protecting the treated area from sun exposure. Touch-up sessions may be recommended every few years to keep your results fresh and natural.
Ideal candidates
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an effective option for individuals dealing with folliculitis-related hair loss or scarring. It conceals affected areas by replicating the look of natural hair follicles, restoring the appearance of even coverage and a healthy scalp.
SMP for folliculitis is suitable for both men and women of all skin tones and hair types. Each treatment is tailored to your natural hair pattern and colour, helping you achieve a smooth, realistic look that boosts confidence and minimizes the visibility of previous irritation or scarring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the signs and symptoms of folliculitis include:
- Itchy burning skin
- Clusters of small red
- bumps, or white headed pimples that develop around hair follicles
- Pus-filled blisters that split open and crust over
Painful, tender skin - A large swollen lump or mass
If your condition is widespread or the symptoms do not improve withing a few days, seek advice from a doctor. You may need a topical antibiotic or oral antibiotics to control the condition.
Folliculitis has two main types – superficial and deep. Superficial includes part of the follicle, while the deep type involves the whole follicle.
Bacterial folliculitis – this results in itchy white, pus-filled bumps and occurs when folicles are infected with bacteria, usually Staphylococcus aureus. Also known as staph bacteria, this lives on the skin all the time, but generally only causes problems when it enters your body through an open wound.
Hot tub folliculitis (pseudomonas folliculitus) – this is caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, which is found in may places including heated pools and hot tubs where the levels of chlorine and pH are not well maintained. It causes a rash of red, round itchy bumps 1-2 days after exposure.
Razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae) – this skin irritation is caused by ingrown hairs and mainly affects men with curly hair who shave too close. It is most noticeable on the face, neck and beard area. This condition can result in dark raised scars (keloids).
Pityrosporum folliculitis – caused by a yeast infection, this type of folliculitis causes red, itchy pustules on the back and chest and sometimes on the neck, shoulders, upper arms and face.
Sycosis barbae – this type of folliculitis affects men who have begun to shave.
Gram-negative folliculitis – this can develop if you are taking a long-term antibiotic treatment for acne.
Boils and carbuncles – these occur when the hair follicles become deeply infected with staph bacteria. A boil will appear suddenly as a painful red or pink bump, while a carbuncle is a cluster of boils.
Eosinophilic folliculitis – this type of folliculitis mainly affects those with HIV/AIDS, although the exact cause is not known. Symptoms include intense itching and recurring patches of bumps and pimples that form near hair follicles, usually on the face and upper body. The affected skin may be left darker (hyperpigmented) once healed.
Your doctor will diagnose folliculitis by looking at your skin and medical history. Many mild cases can be treated at home, but if initial treatments do not clear up the infection, your doctor may take a swab for further analysis to understand what is causing the infection.
There are a number of treatments for folliculitis, depending on the severity and type of condition. Treatments can include:
- Cream or pills to control infection.
- Cream, shampoo or pills to treat fungal infection.
- Cream or pills to reduce inflammation.
- Minor surgery to drain large boils or carbuncles.
- Laser hair removal to remove hair follicles.
