Just finished my 3rd session with Walter, best investment ever. I've tried everything short of a hair transplant over the past ten years and eventually stumbled upon SMP. I searched and researched the best SMP practitioners in the country and then decided to call the folks at Zang. Ridwan expertly walked me through the whole procedure and answered all of my questions.
If you're comfortable with the buzz cut look, SMP is the only way to go. And the team at Zang SMP are the real deal, true artists.

As a female, I didn't want to leave a public review in fear of someone I know seeing it - but at the same time, I want everyone to know about the amazingness that Zang SMP is!!! As someone who struggled with severe postpartum hair loss and a receding hair line, I really thought I would be a slave to hair powders and fillers for life (if not a transplant) and that has all changed!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience!! If you are female and hesitant to do this, DON'T BE!!! It will change your life!!! Huge thank you to Ridwan, Walter, and the rest of the guys at Zang!! Forever grateful!

I don't normally write reviews cause it's a waste of my time but I have to this time. Over the last 20 years, I've done 3 hair transplant procedures and I was not happy with the results. I started looking into SMP and call many places before I settled with ZangSMP. It's a bit more expensive but let me tell you, worth every pennies. After the 2nd time, everyone said there's no sign that I was ever bald. And what can I say about Walter. I couldn't thank him enough. He gave me the confident I needed and a new look in life. He's such a perfectionist and took the time to do it right and make sure I'm happy with the result. I even recommended my brother to give him a call.

Thank u so much Walter and Ridd for your excellent customer service and I can't be any happier with the results. Walter is truly a master of his craft and he was able to hide my scar very well. I had gone to a different smp place before but wasnt happy with results. Zang Smp gave me the results I was looking for. There a reason why they have 5 stars on their reviews! Highly recommend!

These guys changed my life for the better. I have had alopecia for 10 years, wearing wigs and being generally uncomfortable. I was looking for a long-term solution to my alopecia and this was it. Ridwan is a delight to set things up with, and Walter has a real eye for the details. This is worth the money. A load has been lifted and I couldn’t be happier. My only regret is not coming here sooner!

Zang is THE most skilled and experienced SMP practitioner BY FAR. I have had multiple treatments with him to fill in the density in my hair and beard, and the results are amazing. People don't even believe I've had anything done until I show them my before/after pics. Zang is a great guy with an incredible attention to detail, and his work has restored my confidence big time. I really can't recommend him enough. 5 stars!

Best Scalp Micropigmentation in Boston
FAQs
What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp Micropigmentation 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.
How many treatments do I need?
Scalp Micropigmentation is always done in a minimum of two treatments, both treatments one week apart. Reason being, we are working with your skin (the largest organ on the body) to accept our procedure; the human skin will reject some of the pigment immediately after the first treatment. We expect to see significant results after the first treatment but after the second treatment, you will see more of a completion. There is a possibility of a third treatment 1-3 months after the second treatment where we add the finishing touches.
How long is each treatment?
Each session is 2 to 4 hours depending on the work at hand. The first treatment is typically the longest as we are constructing the hairline and putting in the foundational layer. Each subsequent treatment is typically shorter, although this can vary based on retention of previous treatments.
Who decides on the construction of the hairline?
The hairline design is tailored to your individual features for the most natural result. We consider your preferences and what will look best based on your unique characteristics.
I've already had 3 treatments, now what?
After completing the initial aftercare instructions, you can enjoy the results of your scalp micropigmentation treatment. We offer a one-year guarantee, covering touch-ups if the pigments lighten. After that, touch-ups are typically needed every 5 to 8 years.
A "few years"? What does that mean exactly?
Generally, touch-ups are needed within 5 to 8 years due to normal wear and tear on the skin. While scalp micropigmentation is a permanent procedure, pigments may lighten over time.
What are the aftercare instructions?
Follow our 4-day post-treatment instructions to prevent excessive fading and contamination. Avoid touching, washing, cutting, and working out during this period. You can wear a hat immediately after treatment, and sleeping will not smudge the pigment. Detailed instructions are in the attached PDF.
Do I need to take time off from work?
Scalp micropigmentation is non-invasive and nonsurgical, requiring no downtime. Many clients return to work the day after treatment, following the 4-day aftercare instructions.
Will people be able to tell I have the treatment done?
Initially, the pigments will look bolder, but they will soften and settle overnight. Redness usually disappears within 48 to 72 hours. After this initial period, the treatment will look completely natural.
Does it hurt?
The pain is generally less intense than a traditional tattoo. Pain tolerance varies, but our practitioners prioritize your comfort and safety, ensuring a smooth process.
Do I need to keep the shaved look?
For clients with Norwood 6 to 7 hair loss, a shaved look is necessary to maintain the appearance of scalp micropigmentation work. For those with less severe hair loss, we can blend the treatment with existing hair for a natural look.
Do you also do scar concealment?
Yes, scalp micropigmentation is used for scar concealment from surgeries or injuries, including FUE and FUT transplant scars.
Do I need to cut my hair before the SMP treatment?
For filler treatments or scar concealment, come in with the shortest hair length you plan to maintain. For class 6 or 7 hair loss, shave your head before the scalp micro pigmentation treatment.
How do I best protect my SMP from sunlight?
The long-lasting scalp micropigmentation results, protect your scalp micropigmentation from direct sunlight with sunscreen or a hat to prevent pigment weakening and scalp damage.
How much does scalp micropigmentation cost?
Scalp micropigmentation hair restoration costs can vary based on hair loss severity. Scar concealments cost $800 to $1000 per treatment. Class 2 to 4 hair loss treatments cost $2400 to $3400. Class 5 to 7 treatments cost $3400 to $4200. Treatments for the top of the scalp with scar concealment range from $4200 to $5200.
When are the payments due?
A $400 booking deposit secures your treatment dates, with a typical wait time of 8 weeks. Payments are split 50/50 between the first two treatments. Financing options are available.
