Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive treatment for hair loss that creates the illusion of a full head of hair. SMP works by tattooing a pattern of dots onto the scalp to create the appearance of hair. The tattoo patterns resemble closely cut hair follicles. This treatment can achieve a variety of looks, including the appearance of a shaved head, added density to thinning hair, or camouflage skin diseases or scarring. It’s an affordable solution that provides immediate results and is suitable for almost everyone. SMP is not a hair restoration treatment, it is a cosmetic procedure that gives the illusion of hair.
SMP is different from a tattoo. SMP uses a fine, single microneedle, which injects pigment into the dermis layer of the skin. It does not inject as deep as a traditional tattoo.
Yes, scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a relatively safe hair loss treatment with satisfying results. It is a non-invasive and requires little to no strict lifestyle change and maintenance and requires no downtime or recovery.
SMP does not hurt much, but it may depend on each person’s pain threshold. Prior to treatment, a practitioner will perform SMP and apply a local anesthetic or topical numbing cream to the scalp to reduce pain. Some people may not experience any pain, while others may feel mild discomfort or low level of pain.
Some of the benefits of SMP are:
SMP may come with risks. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)Trusted Source lists the following as potential risks of tattoos and permanent makeup:
To remove SMP, people may require laser removal. It may require multiple sessions and can cause side effects.
No, people suffering from:
are not good candidates for SMP and should consult with their doctor and a trained professional before undergoing the procedure.
SMP is best suitable for people suffering from:
The cost of SMP treatment widely varies. It depends on various factors such as the extent of hair loss, and any special requirements.
To provide an accurate quote, you’ll need a consultation. However, an average price give or take the amount of work needed could be a ballpark $2,500.
We have a range of prices that start at $1,200 and up to $5,500 for an individual who has Alopecia with no hair at all. We base this off the Norwood Hamilton scale. Most of our clients have a horseshoe pattern and need a hairline, top, sides and blending. These jobs usually range between $2500-4,000 based on the specific needs of the client.
Generally, you can see results immediately after the first session. However, it does take 2-3 sessions to achieve the overall desired result. Each session takes anywhere between 1 to 3 hours, depending on work and where in the process you are.
SMP falls into the category of permanent cosmetics, so people widely consider it a semi-permanent to permanent procedure. While the effects may last up to eight years, the treated area will fade over time since all skin naturally exfoliates itself.
While the color may lighten, it’ll only change if an incorrect pigment is used.
That said, if you have very dry skin, fading is likely to happen more quickly. As the skin tends to flake with dry skin, this can inadvertently exfoliate the pigment off at a quicker rate.
Absolutely, Scalp micropigmentation is a suitable option for men and women experiencing hair loss or thinning.
Female pattern baldness is often characterized by diffuse thinning across the top of the head, particularly noticeable in areas where the hair parts.
The main goal of SMP treatment for women is to reduce the contrast between the hair and the scalp. By minimizing this contrast, it creates a permanent illusion of fullness.
One of the benefits of scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is that it provides a natural-looking solution. We create an incredibly realistic look. It is unlikely that people will be able to tell that you have had the treatment done. Scalp may be slightly red immediately following the procedure.
In most cases, clients have reported mostly friends and family making comments on the "hair" looking fuller, and or looking younger.
In the weeks between treatments, don’t go swimming, use steam or sauna rooms, or take extremely hot showers that may cause a steam storm.
Avoid exposing your scalp to the sun for the first three days (wearing a hat is fine). On the fifth day after treatment, you can expose the treated skin to sun for short period of time with 30+SPF. Keep in mind, that less sun exposure to the treated area means better long-term retention.
Men normally lose their hair when three main factors interact: genetics, age, and hormones.
Also known as androgenetic alopecia, male-pattern baldness happens as hormone levels change over the course of a man’s life.
Genetic factors also affect the likelihood of male-pattern baldness.
These factors contribute to the gradual shrinkage of the tiny cavities in the skin at the base of hairs, known as scalp hair follicles. Hair grows progressively shorter and finer until no new hairs grow.
Most white men develop some degree of baldness, according to their age and genetic makeup. Male pattern baldness affects up to half of all white men by the age of 50 years and up to 80 percent of men in the same group by the age of 70 years. Other ethnic groups, such as Chinese and Japanese, are less affected.
Men with more first- and second-degree relatives who lose their hair have a higher chance of losing hair themselves.
According to Genetics Home Reference, hair loss in men has been linked to prostate cancer, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure, or hypertension.
It can occur as a reaction to stress or after an illness or major surgery, or as a side effect of some medications, such as anticoagulants, or blood thinners, and vitamin A supplements.
Hair loss can also indicate a health condition, such as lupus, a fungal infection, or a thyroid problem.
Other possible causes include:
A number of genetic changes have been linked to male pattern baldness, but only one has been confirmed by research, the androgen receptor (AR) gene.
Other research has suggested that an abnormal quantity of a protein called prostaglandin D2 in the scalps of some men could linkTrusted Source to hair loss.
Anyone who is concerned that hair loss may be a symptom of a health problem should see a doctor.
