Scalp Micropigmentation in Simi Valley (SMP)

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an innovative, non-surgical cosmetic procedure where organic, plant-based pigments are inserted into the dermal layer of the scalp to replicate the appearance of hair follicles. This technique creates the illusion of thicker, fuller hair.

If you live in Simi Valley and are dealing with baldness, we can give you the stylish 5 o’clock shadow look. If thinning hair or post-transplant concerns are your issues, SMP could offer the density boost you’ve been seeking.

Simi Valley residents considering SMP should plan for at least two treatments spaced one week apart. After the first session, some pigment naturally sheds during healing. The second session ensures a more complete, natural look. Occasionally, a third session may be scheduled within 1–3 months to add finishing touches for optimal results.

Sessions typically range from 2 to 4 hours. The first appointment is generally the most time-intensive, focusing on designing the hairline and applying the foundational layer. Follow-up sessions are often quicker but depend on how much pigment the skin retains from the first treatment.

For our Simi Valley clients, we collaborate closely with you to design a hairline that best fits your natural facial contours and personal style preferences. Our goal is always to create a look that appears authentic and enhances your features.

Following the aftercare instructions carefully allows you to simply enjoy the benefits of your new SMP look. If you're based in Simi Valley, you'll be happy to know that we stand behind our treatments with a full one-year guarantee. In the rare event of pigment fading within that time, we’ll provide complimentary touch-up services. After that, most clients don’t require additional maintenance for many years.

Many of our clients from Simi Valley find they don’t need touch-ups until 5 to 8 years after their initial treatments. While SMP is considered a permanent solution, exposure to elements and natural skin changes can lead to gradual pigment lightening over time.

It's critical to follow the post-treatment instructions for the first 4 days: no touching, no washing, no haircuts, and no intense physical activity. Hats are permitted right after the treatment. Sleeping normally won't disturb the pigments. You’ll receive a detailed PDF outlining everything you need to know.

Correct! SMP is nonsurgical and non-invasive, which means there is no downtime. Many of our Simi Valley clients come in for a session and return to work the very next day — just stick to the outlined aftercare rules.

Immediately after treatment, you may notice a darker appearance of the pigments. However, this softens quickly over the next day or two. Redness fades within 48–72 hours, depending on your skin's sensitivity.

Most clients find SMP much less painful than traditional tattooing. Your comfort is our priority, and we’ll do everything possible to ensure your session is a smooth and manageable experience.

We will carefully assess your pattern of hair loss during an in-person or web consultation. If you're located in Simi Valley, you can expect a personalized treatment plan outlining the style that best complements your SMP procedure.

Clients categorized as Norwood 6–7 will need to keep a shaved look because SMP pigments remain static while natural hair on the sides and back continues to grow. This growing contrast can otherwise make the SMP noticeable if the shaved appearance is not maintained.

When we add density to an existing hairline or the crown, this is called a filler treatment. Filler SMP works best for individuals who retain some hair, allowing for a smooth blend between real hair and pigmentation.

Definitely! SMP is highly effective for concealing scars caused by prior hair transplant surgeries like FUE and FUT, as well as scars from injuries. We've had the pleasure of assisting many clients from Simi Valley with their scar concealment needs.

For filler treatments and scar concealment, please arrive with your hair cut to the length you plan to keep. If you're a Norwood 6–7 client, you will need to shave your head before coming in and maintain that look afterward.

Shaving daily won’t interfere with the SMP. The pigment is placed in the epidermis layer, so it’s safe to continue shaving and washing your head. Many of our clients from Simi Valley do this without issue.
