FREQUENTY ASKED QUESTIONS
WILL I GROW HAIR?
No. It’s a tattoo. It replicates the appearance of hair and, by no means, will it cause hair to grow. On the other side of the coin, SMP will not affect natural hair growth. SMP is the most affordable, long term hair loss solution on the table with guaranteed results.
HOW MUCH DOES SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION COST?
Our pricing is based on the level of hair loss, which is different for each client. Typically, the price ranges between $1,500 - $4,000. We recommend setting up a free consultation so our team can evaluate your case and provide a personalized price quote based on your hair loss needs.
DOES SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION HURT?
For most clients, the pain is minimal and consistently far less painful than traditional tattoos. After your session, you won't experience any further discomfort.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS SHOULD I EXPECT?
Scalp micropigmentation should never be considered a one treatment process. Most clients can expect between 2-4 sessions to complete their treatment depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring. These treatments are usually spaced a minimum of 10 days apart
HOW LONG IS A SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION SESSION?
The Scalp micropigmentation treatment typically takes 2-4 hours per session depending on your degree of hair loss.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?
After 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 discoloration) 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.
DO I NEED TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK?
Scalp micropigmentation is non-invasive and requires no down time. In most cases, you will not need to take any extended time away from work, school, or other functions. After treatment it is common to notice slight redness on the scalp for 1-2 days post session. This redness subsides quickly and most clients return to work right away Clients are also allowed to wear hats or headwear should they feel the need.
IF I HAVE HAIR LEFT, CAN I LEAVE IT LONG?
Depending upon the pattern and extent of the thinning hair, some clients are able to maintain a longer length of hair. Scalp pigmentation 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.
WILL SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION WORK WITH GREY HAIR?
Yes, those with gray hair can still benefit from the scalp micropigmentation procedure. First, most clients are recommended to cut their hair to a short buzzed length. When this is done, gray hair does not appear as gray because the hair root itself is darker. Hair only shows gray as it gets longer. Second, we use a gray-scale pigment that can be adjusted in shade to blend with lighter hair tones. We simply create a lighter dilution for blending into the existing gray hairs.
CAN SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION CAMOUFLAGE MY SCAR?
Yes! By replicating tiny hair follicles inside the scarring and blending the color around the scarring area, transplant and surgical scars can see massive improvement in concealment.
