Frequently Asked Questions

What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp Micropigmentation is a highly evolved non-surgical cosmetic tattoo that replicates the look

of hair follicles with a micro needle and pigment in the skin. This creates dot impressions that

simulate the realism of shaved stubble. No matter what your hair loss level is, we can create the

full natural look of a shaved head (buzz cut) with a custom natural hairline.

How long does SMP last?

Scalp Micropigmentation is considered a permanent solution for hair loss and lasts up to 3-7

years. That doesn’t mean it’s completely gone after that time frame. It just lightens with natural

skin exfoliation. A minor touch up is done to replace what lightened or faded for many more

years of realism.

How many sessions are required?

Scalp Micropigmentation is a 3-4 session layering process. This density layering process is key

in building a natural dense scalp matching your actual shaved follicles for a seamlessly blended

result. Each session is spread out 10-14 days apart. These time frames are to allow the

pigment and skin to fully settle and heal properly.

Is it painful?

Scalp Micropigmentation is not as deep in the skin as a traditional tattoo. Because of this more

shallow depth in the dermis layer of the skin, the pain is way less intense and more like a slight

pinching sensation. On average, people say it is a 2 on the 1-10 pain scale.

Does SMP look real?

When performed by a properly trained Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) artist; rest assured, you’ll

be receiving a treatment that looks like a natural fuller/thicker head of hair.
