Frequently Asked Questions

What is scalp micro pigmentation?

Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses specialized tattoo techniques to replicate the appearance of hair follicles on the scalp. It can help individuals with thinning hair, bald spots, or complete baldness. Scalp micro pigmentation is often referred to as SMP, which you will see referenced below.

How long are sessions?

The procedure typically takes between 2 to 4 sessions, with each session lasting 2 to 4 hours. The exact time depends on the size of the area being treated and the desired density.

Is it painful?

Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. The sensation is often described by our clients as similar to getting a tattoo, but less painful. Topical anesthetic is applied to minimize any pain.

How long does scalp micro pigmentation last?

SMP can last anywhere from 6 - 10 years, depending on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, and maintenance. Touch-up sessions may be needed to keep the appearance fresh.

Can scalp micro pigmentation be removed?

While SMP is designed to be a long-lasting solution, it can be removed with laser tattoo removal techniques if desired. However, this process can take multiple sessions and may not be 100% effective.

How do I care for my scalp after my session?

Post-procedure care involves avoiding sun exposure, water, and excessive sweating for the first 4-5 days. It's also essential to keep the area clean and moisturized. You will receive a detailed hard copy and digital copy of aftercare instructions at the end of every session.

Will it look natural?

When performed by a skilled technician, SMP looks very natural, in fact that is why it appeals to most of our clients! The artist will match the pigment to your natural hair color and use techniques to create a realistic appearance.

Who is a good candidate for SMP?

SMP is suitable for anyone experiencing hair loss, including those with alopecia, male pattern baldness, or thinning hair. However, individuals with certain skin conditions may need to consult with a professional first.

How much does SMP cost?

The cost of SMP varies widely depending on the provider, the location, and the extent of the area being treated. You will be provided with an exact quote prior to your first session, and we do have financing options available as well.

Can I continue to color my hair after SMP?

Yes, you can still color your hair after getting SMP. However, it's advisable to wait at least a few weeks after the procedure to allow the skin to heal properly.
