Frequently Asked Questions
What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
SMP is an advanced cosmetic procedure where natural, plant-based pigments are meticulously implanted into the scalp's dermal layer. This technique replicates the appearance of short hair follicles, offering a solution for individuals who are bald or have thinning hair. By creating a 'five o'clock shadow' effect, SMP provides a fuller-looking head of hair and can enhance the density of existing hair.
What is the typical procedure timeline for SMP?
Initially, Scalp Micropigmentation is performed over two to three sessions. Each session is spaced about a week apart to allow for proper settling and healing of the pigment. While the first session lays the groundwork for the hairline and density, subsequent sessions refine and perfect the appearance.
How is the hairline designed in SMP?
The design of the hairline in SMP is a collaborative process. Specialists consider your facial structure, natural hair growth patterns, and personal preferences to craft a hairline that looks natural and complements your features.
What should I do after completing SMP treatments?
Post-treatment care is crucial to maintain the integrity of SMP. Initially, avoid touching or washing the scalp, and refrain from heavy physical activities to prevent sweating. Long-term, protect the pigmentation from sun exposure by using sunscreen or wearing hats when outdoors.
How often are touch-ups needed?
While SMP is a durable cosmetic enhancement, touch-ups might be necessary every 5 to 8 years due to natural fading. Regular touch-ups help maintain the crispness and color of the SMP, keeping it looking natural as your skin ages.
How should I care for my scalp after SMP?
Aftercare is vital for the best results and longevity of SMP. For the first few days post-treatment, keep the scalp dry and avoid any form of scalp manipulation. Following the initial healing period, regular cleansing and careful sun protection are recommended to sustain the pigment quality.
Will others notice I have undergone SMP?
Immediately after Scalp Micro Pigmentation treatment, the pigmentation may appear darker and more pronounced. However, this settles within a few days, blending seamlessly with your natural skin tone. Any initial redness or irritation typically subsides quickly, making the enhancements noticeable but natural-looking.
Is SMP painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the SMP process, often noting it as less painful than traditional tattooing. The procedure is performed with advanced equipment designed to minimize pain, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Do I need to shave my head for SMP?
The necessity to shave your head depends on the extent of hair loss and the specific goals of the SMP treatment. For extensive hair loss, shaving might be recommended to achieve a uniform appearance. In cases of minimal hair loss, SMP can be effectively blended into existing hair.
How can I protect my SMP treatment from the sun?
To protect your SMP from fading, it's important to limit direct sun exposure. Using a high-SPF sunscreen or wearing a hat when outdoors for extended periods can help maintain the pigment's vibrancy and prevent premature fading.
How much does the SMP treatment cost?
The cost of SMP varies from case to case and is determined by the extent of hair loss as well as the quantity of treatment required. Two treatments are scheduled one week apart, with the option of a third treatment scheduled 1 to 3 months following the second session. Scar concealing treatments cost between $800 and $1000 each treatment. The cost of treating class 2 to 4 hair loss ranges from $2400 to $3400. The cost of class 5 to 7 hair loss ranges from $3400 to $4200. The cost of 2-3 treatments on the top of the scalp with scar concealing varies from $4200 to $5200.
When do the payments have to be made when I decide to undergo SMP treatment?
To secure your treatment dates, a $400 deposit is required at booking. Typically, appointments are scheduled about 8 weeks in advance. This deposit will be evenly applied to your first two sessions. If budget concerns arise, please be assured that we offer financing options to accommodate your needs.
