Everything you need to know about scalp micropigmentation before booking a consultation.
Common Inquiries
What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical treatment that uses specialized pigments to create the appearance of hair follicles. It can restore the look of a hairline, add density to thinning hair, or create the appearance of a closely shaved head.
Does SMP hurt?
Most clients describe SMP as mild discomfort rather than pain. The sensation is often compared to a light scratching or tingling feeling and is generally very manageable.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients require 2-3 sessions to achieve the best result. The exact number depends on your level of hair loss, skin type, and treatment goals.
How long does SMP last?
SMP is considered a long-term solution. Most clients enjoy their results for years before needing a minor refresh session. Touch-ups are typically recommended every 4-6 years.
Will the pigment change color?
No. Modern SMP pigments are specifically designed to maintain a natural appearance and avoid the blue or green discoloration often associated with traditional tattoos.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Most clients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-term results.
Can SMP camouflage hair transplant scars?
Yes. SMP is one of the most effective ways to reduce the visibility of FUT and FUE scars by blending them with the surrounding scalp.
Can SMP work with existing hair?
Absolutely. SMP can be used to add the appearance of density in thinning areas while blending seamlessly with your existing hair.
Am I a good candidate for SMP?
SMP is effective for a wide range of hair loss concerns, including receding hairlines, thinning density, advanced hair loss, and scar camouflage. A consultation will determine the best treatment plan for your goals.
How much does SMP cost?
Pricing varies based on the level of hair loss and the treatment required. During your consultation, you’ll receive a personalized recommendation and quote.
