YDPMU ScalpX Micropigmentation Machine Pro Permanent Makeup Machine with 3.5mm Stroke Pen

The YDPMU ScalpX Micropigmentation Machine Pro is a dedicated SMP and PMU machine with a hollow cup motor, 11,000 RPM max speed, and a 3.5mm fixed stroke. The machine features two SMP-specific controls: HIT POWER (adjustable needle penetration force) and HIT COUNT (adjustable needle penetrations per cycle), plus automatic scalp puncture mode for consistent dot replication. Compatible with universal guard needle cartridges. Includes 10 bonus Guard Tattoo Needle 1R 0.3 cartridges. Available as Machine ($149) or Machine Kit ($209).

SMP-Specific Controls

Why Hollow Cup Motor for SMP

The hollow cup motor design delivers stronger, more stable needle penetration compared to standard coreless motors — particularly relevant for scalp procedures where the skin is thicker and tougher than facial tissue. Key characteristics:

• Stronger penetration force for consistent needle depth through scalp skin
• Reduced vibration for stable needle performance throughout long SMP sessions
• Consistent power delivery at 11,000 RPM across the full session duration

How to Use — Setup Guide

Who Is This For?

• Professional SMP artists who want dedicated SMP machine controls (HIT POWER, HIT COUNT, SMP mode)
• PMU artists who also offer SMP and need a machine optimized for scalp tissue
• Studios adding a dedicated SMP machine separate from their facial PMU machine
• Artists who want a hollow cup motor for stronger, more stable scalp penetration

Common Setup Questions

What is the difference between the ScalpX Pro and the ScalpX Kit?
ScalpX Pro Machine (CTM105, $149): the machine only with 10 bonus needles — hollow cup motor, 11,000 RPM, SMP mode, HIT POWER, HIT COUNT. Best for experienced SMP artists who already have pigments and cartridges. ScalpX Kit ($209): complete starter kit including machine, 2 SMP pigments, 40 cartridges, and 3 practice skins. Best for artists starting SMP who need everything included.

What is the hollow cup motor and why does it matter for SMP?
The hollow cup motor delivers stronger, more stable needle penetration than standard coreless motors — particularly relevant for scalp procedures where skin is thicker than facial tissue. It supports consistent needle depth across different scalp areas and maintains stable power delivery throughout long SMP sessions.

What do HIT POWER and HIT COUNT control?
HIT POWER adjusts the needle penetration force — useful for adapting to different scalp skin thicknesses across the crown, temples, and nape. HIT COUNT adjusts the number of needle penetrations per cycle — controlling dot density and pigment deposit per pass. Both controls are accessed via the SMP mode panel. Avoid setting HIT POWER too high as it may cause excessive penetration.

Can it be used for facial PMU procedures?
Yes. Switch to SUPPLY mode on the panel for standard PMU function — eyebrows, eyeliner, lip blush, and areola restoration. The 3.5mm stroke and 11,000 RPM support the full range of facial PMU techniques. For artists whose primary focus is facial PMU (not SMP), a dedicated PMU machine may be more appropriate.

What needle cartridges are compatible?
Universal guard needle cartridges. The 10 included bonus needles are 1R 0.3mm guard cartridges — the standard SMP needle for follicle dot simulation. YDPMU Purple Scalp Needle Cartridges with Guard (sold separately) are also compatible. Always use guard needles for SMP — the guard limits needle depth for controlled, consistent penetration.
