Frequently Asked Questions

What is scalp micropigmentation (SMP)?

Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical procedure that involves the application of pigments to the scalp to replicate the look of real hair follicles. It is used to address hair loss, thinning hair, and to create the appearance of a fuller head of hair.

How long does scalp micropigmentation last?

Scalp micropigmentation is a long-lasting solution. On average, the pigments can last between 4 to 6 years before a touch-up is needed. Factors such as individual skin type, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can influence the longevity of the treatment.

Is scalp micropigmentation suitable for everyone?

Scalp micropigmentation is suitable for most individuals experiencing hair loss, regardless of their gender or ethnicity. However, a consultation with a professional technician is recommended to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Is scalp micropigmentation painful?

Scalp micropigmentation is generally considered to be a minimally discomforting procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a mild sunburn or slight scratching. Topical anesthetics are applied to minimize any potential discomfort during the treatment.

How long does a scalp micropigmentation session take?

The duration of a scalp micropigmentation session varies depending on the extent of the treatment. On average, a session can range from 2 to 4 hours. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results, and these are usually scheduled with a few weeks apart.

Is there any downtime after scalp micropigmentation?

Can I still have scalp micropigmentation if I have existing hair?

Yes, scalp micropigmentation can be performed even if you have existing hair. The pigments are carefully blended with your natural hair to create a seamless and natural-looking result.

Can I shave my head after scalp micropigmentation?

Yes, you can shave your head after scalp micropigmentation. In fact, many clients prefer to keep their head shaved to maintain a consistent appearance. The pigments are designed to mimic the look of hair follicles at a closely shaved length.

Are the pigments used in scalp micropigmentation safe?
