Scalp Micropigmentation - SMP
What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that implants tiny dots that mimic hair follicles. It helps camouflage receding and thinning areas, and results in a fuller looking scalp with more colour density.
It can also achieve a shaved or ‘buzzed’ look for people who are experiencing baldness.
Who is Scalp Micropigmentation For?
Simply put, SMP is the answer for anyone who may be experiencing a receding hairline, thinning hair, hair loss and/ or pattern baldness.
How Many SMP Sessions are Required?
People should expect a minimum of 3 sessions.
That said, the number of sessions required will vary from person to person depending on their needs, and the severity of hair thinning or hair loss.
We will examine the level of hair loss and discuss the clients’ desired results and the level of colour density they would like to achieve.
Results can be expected to last 2-5 years, but as with all medical and cosmetic tattooing procedures, fading will occur over time, and may vary from person to person.
When fading starts to become noticeable, it’s time for a touch up!
Pricing:
$500 for Initial Session
$350 for Follow Up Sessions
Before- and After-Care:
The day before your SMP appointment, please wash your hair and/ or wash and exfoliate your scalp.
After your treatment, you must avoid excessive sweating, submerging in water or getting the treated area super-soaked for 5-7 days. In some cases, where aftercare ointment is provided, please use for this first week as well, as it will help minimize potential flaking, and help maximize healing and pigment retention.
It’s also important in the first week to avoid applying aggressive or harsh products such as hair sprays, pomades, etc.
