How Is The Scalp Micropigmentation Hairline And The Entire Style Determined
You know yourself best. We provide suggestions during our consultation period and during the hairline’s creation, but until you are satisfied, we will not begin the procedure. A combination of your input and ours creates a look that represents who you are. Know that you are in good hands and in control.
How Long Is Each SMP Treatment
Similar to pricing, SMP treatment time varies based on each client and their particular needs. You can expect anywhere from 2-4 hours for the first sessions and 1-3 hours for the second.
What Is The Required Scalp Micropigmentation Maintenance?
Once completed and healed, there is practically no maintenance other than keeping the area where you have your hair buzzed. You do not need to use a razor to shave, however, you need to keep your hair maintained and groomed.
When Are SMP Payments Made?
A $100 deposit goes towards your total cost. SMP treatment payments are broken up into two seasons. 70% of the total cost is covered at the end of the first session, while 30% is covered at the second session’s conclusion. We accept cash, credit, and applications for financing here.
How Much Does Scalp Micropigmentation Cost?
SMP cost varies based on the condition of the scalp, the extent of hair loss, and individual need. Costs can range from $1200 (Scar) to $3500 (Norwood 7, the highest form of hair loss). A quote is provided upon contact.
How Many SMP Treatments Do I Need?
SMP is accomplished in 2-3 sessions, the third used as needed. Treatments are 7-10 days apart. The previous session must have healed well to prepare for the application of the next layer.
Does The SMP Procedure Hurt?
This is our most common question. The answer remains subjective. However, unlike a conventional tattoo, where the top layer of the skin is being destroyed by multiple, larger needles, SMP uses a single, smaller needle, causing much less irritation and pain. When assessed on a scale from 1-10, most customers identify with a 3—We’ve even had customers snoring during the procedure!
Will The Sun Make The SMP Procedure Go Away?
Sun damage remains the most misunderstood SMP concern. The answer is no! The sun will not nullify the SMP treatment, but constant over-exposure to the sun without sunblock can cause fading over time. Being aware of sun exposure and using a reliable sunblock will keep your scalp healthy in the long haul.
Will The Ink Turn Blue Or Green As Time Goes On?
No. We do not use tattoo ink, which contains several different dyes. The ink we use—which sets us apart—is a nonchemical, all-natural ink, so you never have to worry about your scalp changing color.
Does The Payment Cover All Three SMP Sessions?
Yes, the payment covers all three sessions. Your payment is final unless you wish to make any changes to the procedure, i.e., hairline, density, etc.
Do I Have To Use Anything On My Scalp After The SMP Treatment Has Healed?
No. The purpose of going forward with this procedure is to give you back time to live unworried. Upon healing, there is nothing needed to maintain the procedure. Just keep your hair cut low and moisturized (coconut oil) and continue enjoying life.
How Long Does It Take For The Redness To Go Away After The SMP Procedure?
Normally, by 24-48 hours, the redness subsides and within 1-2 weeks, the scalp heals.
How Long Does The SMP Procedure Last?
The procedure is permanent. It will not disappear completely as time goes on, but it will fade. The extent of the fading is dependent on how well you maintain it. Keeping your scalp groomed and well moisturized and keeping away from long (1 hr or more) direct exposure to the sun will protect your investment for between 3-4 years before needing a touch up.
