Best Scalp Micropigmentation in West Los Angeles

FAQs

How long does the SMP procedure take?

The SMP procedure typically requires multiple sessions, each lasting a few hours. The exact number of sessions needed depends on the extent of hair loss and the desired density. Most clients need 2-4 sessions to achieve optimal results.

Is SMP painful?

The process is generally well-tolerated by most clients. A topical anesthetic is applied to the scalp to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Some clients may experience mild discomfort, but it is usually manageable.

How long do the results last?

The results of SMP can last several years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Periodic touch-up sessions are recommended to maintain the appearance and ensure long-lasting results.

What is the aftercare process for SMP?

Aftercare is crucial for the success of SMP. We advise clients to keep their scalp dry for the first few days, avoid direct sun exposure, and refrain from activities that cause excessive sweating. Gentle cleansing and the use of sunscreen are recommended after the initial healing phase.

Can SMP be combined with other hair restoration treatments?

Yes, it can be combined with other hair restoration treatments, such as hair transplant surgery. SMP can enhance the appearance of transplanted hair by adding density and improving the overall look.

How does SMP differ from a hair transplant?

Unlike hair transplant surgery, which involves moving hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another, SMP is a non-surgical procedure that uses pigment to create the illusion of hair follicles. SMP does not involve incisions or downtime and is suitable for individuals who may not be candidates for hair transplants.

Will SMP look natural?

Yes, when performed by an experienced practitioner, SMP looks very natural. The procedure is customized to match the client's natural hair color and desired style, ensuring a realistic and seamless appearance.

How do I know if I am a good candidate for SMP?

Most individuals experiencing hair loss, receding hairline, or thinning hair are good candidates for SMP. During the initial consultation, the practitioner will assess your scalp and hair loss pattern to determine if SMP is the right solution for you.

Is there any downtime after the SMP procedure?

There is minimal downtime after the SMP procedure. Most clients can return to their normal activities within a few days. However, it is important to follow the clinically provided aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.

How do I book a consultation at Zang SMP?

Give us a call at 310-425-4975 or email us at info@zangsmp.com to schedule your initial consultation. Zang SMP has worked with clients globally and we can work with you as well, no matter where you are. Just send us a clear photograph (angled top-down from a bird's eye view) of your scalp or the scar you wish to conceal, and we will analyze it.

From there, we reach out to you and schedule a time to discuss your concerns, goals, and any other questions about the scalp micro pigmentation procedures and techniques we employ at Zang SMP in West Los Angeles.

Do I need to keep the shaved look?

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.

Do you also do scar concealment?

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.

Do I need to cut my hair before the SMP treatment?

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.

What do I do for optimal maintenance?

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

Will it affect the treatment if I continue to shave my head?

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!

How do I best protect my SMP from sunlight?

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.

How much does it cost?

Cost for SMP is case by case, depending on the scale of hair loss and the amount of work needed. The first two treatments are one week apart with a possibility of a third treatment 1-3 months after the second. For scar concealments it is $800-$1000 per treatment. For class 2-4 hair loss it is $2400-$3400. Class 5-7 hair loss is $3400-$4200. Top of the scalp with scar concealment ranges from $4200-$5200 for 2-3 treatments.

When are the payments due?

There is a $400 booking deposit to secure your treatment dates with us. There is a typical wait time of 8 weeks for an appointment. We then split the payments 50/50 between the first two treatments. We do offer financing as well.

How do I get started?

Contact us at 310-425-4975 or at info@zangsmp.com and schedule your free consultation. We service many clients from around the world so instead of coming in, you can send us a photo of your scalp (top down, birds eye view) and of your scar and we can schedule a phone consultation or Facetime/Skype video session.
