Scalp Micropigmentation at Zang SMP is a non-surgical method of inserting organic plant-based pigment deposits through the dermal layer of the scalp. The pigment deposits replicate hair follicles and create the appearance of a full head of hair. If you are completely bald we provide the 5 o’clock shadow look; and if you are thinning or not satisfied from hair transplant results and require more density, SMP is for you.

At Zang SMP, Scalp Micropigmentation typically requires a minimum of two treatments, spaced one week apart. This allows your skin, the body's largest organ, to properly accept the pigment. While significant results are seen after the first session, the second treatment ensures completion. Occasionally, a third session may be needed 1-3 months later for final touch-ups.

Each session at Zang SMP lasts between 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity of the work. The first treatment is usually the longest as we construct your hairline and establish the foundational layer. Subsequent treatments are generally shorter, though this can vary based on the retention of previous sessions.

At Zang SMP, the hairline design is a collaborative process. We consider factors such as your individual features and personal preferences to create the most natural and suitable result. Our goal is to ensure that your new hairline complements your overall appearance while aligning with your desired look.

After completing your initial treatments and following our aftercare instructions, you can enjoy the benefits of your SMP treatment. Zang SMP offers a one-year guarantee on our treatments. If any lightening of the pigments occurs, we will provide a complimentary touch-up. After that, maintenance sessions are typically needed every few years.

Typically with our clients we expect touch ups within the 5-8 years mark. This is a permanent procedure which will last forever, but there is normal wear and tear involved in the surface of the skin which causes it to lighten up over time.

It's important that you follow our 4-day post-treatment instructions to prevent excessive fading and all forms of contamination. Essentially the instructions are no touching, washing, cutting, and no working out for the first 4 days. You can wear a hat immediately after each treatment. Don’t worry about sleeping on it, the pigment won’t smudge or smear on your pillows. See the PDF attached for our full aftercare instructions.

Our Scalp Micropigmentation is non-invasive and nonsurgical. There is no downtime associated with it, you only need to follow the 4-day aftercare instructions. Many of our clients come in for treatment, go back home on the same day, and start work again the following day.

Initially after the first treatment the pigments will look bolder as they are freshly deposited. Overnight you will notice the pigments softening and settling down. As for the redness, it will disappear in 48-72 hours. Intensity of redness is based on sensitivity of the skin, but more or less clients will notice significantly less redness 48 hours after the first treatment. After the initial settling process is finished, your treatment will look completely natural.

For most clients who undergo our SMP treatment, the pain is not as intense as a traditional tattoo. Pain tolerance is case to case per client, but your health and safety is our priority. Our Zang SMP practitioners will ensure the process is as smooth as possible.

We will assess your hair loss during the consultation or via web assessment. Once we get an understanding of what class of hair loss you fall under, we provide a treatment plan with the style and look we recommend that would be optimal with our SMP procedure.

Clients classified as Norwood 6-7 hair loss need to maintain a shaved look due to the amount of coverage we have created on top of your head with SMP. As the hair on the back and sides keeps growing, the treatment will become more apparent as there is a visible contrast between your hair and the SMP. This is ultimately a permanent cosmetic procedure in which we are replicating hair follicles with pigmentation, which will never grow or create a 3D texture.

Adding density to an existing hairline and/or density to the crown is classified as a filler treatment. Good candidates for filler treatments are those who still have some hair around the area for us to blend the SMP in with.

Yes! Scalp Micropigmentation isn’t just for male pattern baldness. It is also used to conceal scars from previous surgeries or injuries. Both FUE and FUT transplant scars can be concealed with SMP.

If we are doing a filler treatment or scar concealment, we typically request our clients to come in with the shortest hair length they are going to keep, unless requested otherwise. If you have class 6 or 7 hair loss, you would need to shave your head before you come in for treatment and maintain it at that length.

We will provide suggestions for products to use to maintain your treatment. Please check the link to our products recommendation page.

You can shave your head every day and wash it as well, the treatment will not be damaged as it is in your epidermis layer. As a matter of fact, the majority of our clients who have this procedure shave every day!

Overexposure to direct sunlight can cause the pigments to weaken, and overtime you will be damaging both the treatment and your scalp. Wear protective sunscreen or a hat whenever you are going out and expecting to be in direct sunlight for over an hour.

SMP offers a cosmetic solution for both men and women experiencing pattern baldness by applying natural pigments to the scalp. This technique creates the appearance of a fuller head of hair by simulating short, shaved hair follicles. It's a non-invasive alternative to hair transplants, providing a permanent look of a closely shaved head.

Yes, SMP can effectively create the illusion of denser hair. By strategically placing pigments in areas of thinning hair on the scalp, SMP enhances the contrast between the scalp and the hair, which makes the hair appear thicker and fuller. This procedure is suitable for both men and women looking to hide the signs of thinning hair.

Our SMP treatment is an excellent option for camouflaging scalp scars resulting from injuries, surgeries, or previous hair transplants. It can also correct unsatisfactory SMP jobs. By applying pigment to the scarred or poorly treated areas, SMP helps blend these imperfections with the surrounding hair, restoring a more natural and cohesive appearance to the scalp.

For individuals with alopecia, SMP provides a way to mask bald patches by replicating follicles, helping to create a uniform look across the scalp. This technique is particularly effective for those with alopecia areata or totalis, as it minimizes the appearance of random or complete baldness, offering a look of shaved head.
