Defeating Hair Loss is Now Achievable! Get the Facts on Scalp Micropigmentation

Looking for a way to add some fullness to your hair? Or maybe you’re just looking for a more permanent solution to hair loss? If so, scalp micropigmentation may be the answer for you.

SMP is a procedure that creates the illusion of fuller hair by implanting pigment into the scalp

SMP is performed using an electric hair tattoo device, designed to give a completely natural 3D effect. The needles used are much finer than those used in regular tattoos, and the ink is also deposited at a shallower depth. This ensures that the results look completely natural

The results of SMP can last for many years, and touch-ups may only be necessary every five to eight years to keep the results looking fresh.

How does SMP work, and who can benefit from it?

SMP is a new, innovative technique that uses tiny, layered dots in different hues of black to replicate the look of a shadow on your scalp. This style, referred to as pointillism, is done to create natural-looking depth and definition.

A skilled practitioner will work to ensure the dots look like a natural hair follicle and blend in seamlessly with your complexion.

SMP may be useful for people who experience all forms of hair loss. This includes folks with:

• cancer

• alopecia

• thinning hair

• male and female pattern baldness

Does SMP hurt? What’s the process like?

If you’re considering scalp micropigmentation for hair loss treatment, you may wonder just how painful the procedure is. The truth is, it depends on the individual.

Most people report that there is little discomfort, but remember how much discomfort you experience largely depends on your pain tolerance.

However, most people find the process relatively painless. And, in most cases, the results are well worth any mild discomfort you may experience.

After doing your research and seeking out a skilled SMP artist (more on how to find them below), you will likely have an initial consultation. During this meeting, they'll prepare for what's ahead by giving preparation tips or just giving general guidelines like:

• Shower before each treatment to reduce irritation of the skin.

• Treatments typically last between 4-6 hours, so plan accordingly by making sure enough time is left over at end of the session if possible.

• The number of treatments you need will depend on your scalp, and the size-up area treated. Even if it’s just for subtle density, you may need three to four treatments to get complete coverage because SMP is about layering colour into balding areas with short retention times.

• Treatments are best spaced a week or two apart to ensure the hair tattoo settles evenly.

• Avoid exposing your scalp to direct sunlight for the first four days as this will increase the chances of fading over time.

How much does Scalp Micropigmentation cost, and how long does SMP last?

People often ask how much Scalp Micropigmentation costs, and how long the results will last. While the answer to both questions depends on a variety of factors. Give us a message and we can give you a general idea of what to expect

SMP typically costs between $600 and $1,200 per treatment session. The number of sessions you need will depend on your scalp, and the size of the treated area. Even if it’s just for subtle density, you may need three or four treatments to get complete coverage.

The best part, though, is that the results of the SMP treatment are permanent, and will last for years with proper care, so generally speaking, scalp micropigmentation can be one of the most long-term cost-effective treatments available that guarantees results.

Are there any risks involved with SMP?

There are a few risks associated with scalp micropigmentation, but they are typically very minor and can be easily avoided.

The main risks are that the pigment may fade over time if you do not take proper care of your scalp after the treatment or if you expose it to direct sunlight.

Additionally, there is always a risk of infection if the procedure is not done in a sterile environment.

But by following the aftercare instructions your practitioner provides, these risks can be minimised to virtually nothing.

How to find the right SMP practitioner for you

If you're considering scalp micropigmentation (SMP), it's important to find the right practitioner for you.

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a practitioner, including their experience and qualifications, as well as the quality of their work.

It's also important to make sure that the practitioner is fully insured, and that they have a good reputation.

You should ask how many appointments the artist schedules each day. This kind of service is time-consuming and requires intense focus, so if someone sees too many clients per week for SMP then that typically means they aren't giving each client enough attention, which could explain why their work isn’t up to par.

It’s important to find out more about the practitioner's background, including who trained them and how long they've been practicing. You can also speak with a few of their former clients for feedback on what kind of experience you're likely going have working together!

The results of SMP are unparalleled, and it’s an investment in your future. If done right by a qualified artist who has been trained extensively on how to properly execute this procedure with no downtime or discomfort for you as the client-we can give back what was lost!
