Serkan Bozkurt: Working in Scalp Micropigmentation Since 2012
Serkan Bozkurt is a scalp micropigmentation (SMP) specialist and the founder of HFS Center. Based in Istanbul, HFS Center provides scalp micropigmentation services for people seeking to address the appearance of hair loss, thinning areas, and hair transplant scars.
According to his professional account, Serkan Bozkurt began working in the field of scalp micropigmentation in 2012. His early work involved products sourced from abroad. Over time, he also focused on the development of scalp micropigmentation equipment and pigments, later continuing his work with devices and pigments produced in Türkiye.
This professional journey brought together practical application experience and an interest in the tools and materials used in scalp micropigmentation.
What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic procedure in which specialised pigments are applied to the scalp in small dots to create the appearance of hair follicles or closely shaved hair.
It is not a hair transplant and does not create new hair growth. Instead, the procedure aims to create visual balance between the scalp and existing hair, helping the treated area appear denser.
HFS Center states that an application may take approximately 3–5 hours, depending on the size of the treatment area. This is an indicative timeframe, not a fixed duration for every client. The actual time depends on the individual case and the scope of the procedure.
Serkan Bozkurt’s Areas of Practice
Scalp micropigmentation is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. The treatment approach needs to take into account the client’s existing hair, scalp condition, and desired appearance.
HFS Center provides services in the following areas:
- Men’s scalp micropigmentation: For men seeking the appearance of a closely shaved hairstyle or a denser look in areas affected by hair loss.
- Women’s scalp micropigmentation: Cosmetic pigmentation for areas such as a visibly wide hair parting or localised thinning.
- Hair transplant scar camouflage: Pigmentation intended to reduce the visibility of scars following hair transplant procedures, including FUT and FUE.
- Alopecia-affected areas: Cosmetic assessment of areas where hair loss has occurred.
- Removal and correction: Assessment of previously applied scalp pigmentation to determine whether removal, correction, or a new application may be appropriate.
The suitability of each procedure depends on the individual’s scalp condition, previous treatments, and expectations.
Technical Approach and Product Development
The appearance of scalp micropigmentation depends on more than pigment colour. Dot size, spacing, application depth, pigment selection, and the relationship between the treated area and existing hair all contribute to the final visual effect.
According to technical information published by HFS Center, its equipment includes a gold-alloy needle system in different sizes. The centre lists 0.18 mm, 0.23 mm, and 0.28 mm specifications, together with patent number TR 2016 06336 Y.
These specifications are presented as technical information published by HFS Center. A patent reference, by itself, does not establish clinical effectiveness or prove suitability for every skin type.
HFS Center also states that it uses a computer-assisted scalp micropigmentation system and B.C.N.T-branded pigments. Claims concerning dermatological testing, heavy-metal testing, and product notifications should be assessed against the relevant product documentation and test reports. Such statements are attributed to the centre and should not be interpreted as independent verification.
Assessment and Realistic Expectations
People considering scalp micropigmentation may have different goals. Some want the appearance of a closely shaved hairstyle, while others are looking to camouflage a hair transplant scar or improve the appearance of thinning areas.
Before treatment, it is important to establish whether the desired result can realistically be achieved through scalp micropigmentation. The procedure does not replace natural hair, restore hair follicles, or stop the underlying causes of hair loss.
A consultation should therefore consider the individual’s scalp, existing hair, treatment history, and expectations. Understanding both the potential benefits and the limitations of the procedure is an essential part of making an informed decision.
Serkan Bozkurt in the Media
Serkan Bozkurt has also discussed scalp micropigmentation in television programmes, explaining the procedure and addressing common questions.
On Habertürk’s Kendine İyi Bak, broadcast on 15 November 2019, he discussed topics including the differences between scalp micropigmentation and tattooing, what the procedure involves, and how long its results may remain visible.
He also appeared on Zahide Yetiş’le on 9 January 2020, where the discussion included treatment duration and considerations before the procedure.
These appearances form part of his public information work on scalp micropigmentation.
