FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp, creating the appearance of fuller hair or a closely-shaved head.
2. How long does SMP last?
SMP typically lasts 4 to 6 years before a touch-up is needed. Proper aftercare and sun protection can extend the life of your results.
3. Is SMP painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort — similar to a light scratching sensation. We use numbing agents to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
4. How many sessions will I need?
Most clients require 2–4 sessions to achieve optimal results, spaced about a week apart to allow proper healing and layering.
5. Will SMP work for women?
Absolutely. SMP is highly effective for women experiencing thinning hair, adding the illusion of density and reducing visible scalp.
6. Can SMP cover scars from hair transplants (FUE/FUT)?
Yes. We specialize in scar camouflage, blending transplant scars with surrounding hair for a natural, seamless appearance.
7. Will the pigment change color over time?
No. We use high-quality, stable pigments designed specifically for SMP. Your treatment will fade gradually, but not change to blue or green tones like tattoo ink.
8. Is SMP noticeable to others?
Not unless you tell them! Our technique mimics real hair follicles so closely that most people can’t tell the difference — even up close.
9. What’s the recovery time after each session?
There’s no downtime, but you should avoid heavy sweating, swimming, and direct sun exposure for a few days after each session.
10. How do I know if I’m a good candidate for SMP?
If you’re experiencing hair loss, thinning hair, scars, or want to enhance your hairline, SMP may be right for you. We offer free consultations to assess your goals and customize your treatment plan.
