Question 1

How much does scalp micropigmentation cost?

Accepted Answer

Most complete scalp micropigmentation treatments range from $2,500 to $4,500, including all sessions needed for the agreed treatment. Small scar treatments and unusually extensive cases are quoted individually after consultation.

Question 2

Will the scalp micropigmentation treatment be noticeable?

Accepted Answer

No. Scalp micropigmentation is gaining popularity due to its natural and undetectable results. Most people can't distinguish between natural hair follicles and SMP follicles due to the SMP follicles replicating actual hair follicles so closely. SMP INK proudly offers the most advanced micropigmentation technology and techniques so that each hair follicle is replicated to be an exact match for our clients.

Question 3

How many SMP treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

Most scalp micropigmentation treatments are completed in 2–3 sessions, typically scheduled 7 days apart. Scheduling can be adjusted for clients traveling or requiring additional time between visits.

Question 4

How long do SMP results last?

Accepted Answer

Scalp SMP typically lasts 5–10 years before a touch-up may be needed. Results vary by skin, lifestyle, sun exposure and aftercare.

Question 5

Can women get SMP work done?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Scalp micropigmentation is an excellent choice for women dealing with hair loss.

Question 6

Can the pigment change colors?

Accepted Answer

No. Scalp micropigmentation is a permanent treatment for hair loss. We specifically choose our pigment to mimic your hair follicles, and our ink doesn't contain any additives or colorants that will turn blue or green over time.

Question 7

Do I need to take time off for the treatments?

Accepted Answer

SMP is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment. Skin response and personal schedules vary. Discuss work, exercise and other commitments with your artist and follow the individual aftercare guidance you receive; we do not promise a fixed recovery timeline.

Question 8

Do I have to shave my head?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the pattern and extent of your hair loss. Some clients can maintain a longer head of hair while utilizing SMP to fill in light or thinning areas. However, if there is substantial hair loss, it's recommended that the client keep a short cropped haircut.

Question 9

Can scalp micropigmentation hide my scars?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Scalp micropigmentation is an excellent choice for scar camouflage.

Question 10

How painful is scalp micropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

Comfort varies from person to person. Discuss your concerns with your artist before treatment; we do not guarantee a painless procedure or no discomfort afterward.

Question 11

Can people with gray hair undergo scalp micropigmentation treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Patients with gray hair can also benefit from SMP. Most clients with gray hair are advised to cut their hair to a buzz cut so that the hair doesn't appear as gray since the root itself is darker. We then use a gray-scale pigment adjusted in shade to blend with lighter hair tones.

Question 12

Will this work for me if I have fair skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We can match the shade of our pigment to a wide variety of different skin tones.
