The Scalp Micropigmentation treatment typically takes 2-5 hours per session depending on your degree of hair loss.

šAfter completion of your treatment (2-4 sessions) a client should expect the strength of the color to last for many years. Over a longer term, a client will very gradually begin to notice slight lightening (not discolor) of the treatment. When this occurs they can undergo a brief “touch up” session to restore any fading and secure many more years of their style.

šAlthough it varies from person to person, the depth of the procedure is not deep, around 1 mm, so the pain is not severe. It can be received more comfortably with anesthesia ( the form of ointment, ) However,For most clients, the pain is minimal and it’s consistently less painful than traditional tattoos. You can experience redness and soreness for 24-48 hours after your session but you won’t experience any further discomfort.

šIf you are unsure of what style or type of hairline will work for you, your smp specialist will be there to help. With artistic experience on how to fit a hairline to head shape and age, your specialist can help recommend what’s best. Over the course of your sessions you can also tweak and adjust the hairline for a perfect result.

No. Scalp Micropigmentation is a form of permanent cosmetics. The pigment contains no additional colorants or additives and will only lighten, not discolor over an extended time.

Depending upon the pattern and extent of the thinning hair, some clients are able to maintain a longer length of hair. Scalp Micropigmentation can help thicken areas so that less of the scalp is seen showing through. However, if there is a strong pattern of hair loss or just not a lot of hair density left, the client is recommended to crop it shorter.

Yes. those with gray hair can still benefit from the Scalp Micropigmentation procedure. First, Gray hair does not appear as gray because the hair root itself is darker. Hair only shows gray as it gets longer. Second, I use a gray-scale pigment that can be adjusted in shade to blend with lighter hair tones. I simply create a lighter dilution for blending into the existing gray hairs.

Yes!  Whether you are Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic, Asian, or Pacific Islander and much more…Scalp Micropigmentation can work for you.

Clients can continue using Propecia during and after their Scalp Micropigmentation procedure. Rogaine (topical minoxidil) should be suspended during the course of treatment and for 30 days post your final session. This is to ensure the proper healing and settling of pigment without interference of the chemicals found in Rogaine foam.

Yes, you can wear a hat or a skullcap after your Scalp Micropigmentation treatment is complete. However, it’s better not to be wearing them as much!

SMP is depositing pigment into the skin at a shallower depth than tattoos, only about 2mm into the dermis. I am  strictly making small micro dots not shading or drawing lines  smp is used only a black or dark brown pigment which is much more diluted than typical tattoo inks. For this reason, it won’t break down to different colors or look too saturated once it heals.

Generally, there is no major problem with scalp tattooing for keloid skin. However, if you have a severe tendency to develop keloids or are very worried, it is safer to do a test procedue on a 1 cm x 1 cm area to see what kind of reaction you get.

šIt is unlikely that pigment will disappear due to impact. There is no problem unless there is bleeding, hematoma, or swelling at the treatment site. However, avoid rubbing hard immediately after the treatment for 2-3 days as this can affect pigment absorption. Be especially careful when engaging in contact sports such as judo, jiu-jitsu, and wrestling.

Since it is a procedure that causes tiny wounds to the scalp, some customers worry that it will cause scalp damage or hair loss. However, smp that are performed correctly do not cause problems. Scalp tattoos penetrate pigments through microscopic wounds in the epidermis and upper dermis, and do not cause problems such as scalp scarring with general treatment intensity or frequency. Rather, there are cases where small wounds are intentionally created on the scalp to activate the wound recovery mechanism cycle and apply it to hair loss treatment, so some say that it is a better stimulus for hair loss treatment.
