FAQs

1) How long does scalp micropigmentation last?

Typically, SMP can last 6–8 years, with some individuals experiencing results that endure even longer. Over time, pigment gradually fades due to natural skin turnover and sun exposure. Most clients plan a touch-up every 3–4 years to keep the look sharp and fresh.

2) How much does scalp micropigmentation cost?

Pricing depends on the treatment area, desired density, and number of sessions. SMP is generally more affordable than surgical options like hair transplants. Your exact quote will be given during a free consultation.

3) Is scalp micropigmentation painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort. While numbing cream can be used, it may interfere with pigment absorption and final results. Instead, over-the-counter pain medication is recommended for comfort during treatment.

4) Can numbing cream be used for treatment?

Yes, numbing cream is an option, but it’s important to note it may reduce pigment retention and affect the crispness of the final look. We generally recommend pain medication instead to help with any discomfort.

5) What’s the aftercare for scalp micropigmentation?

Aftercare includes:

• Keeping the scalp clean, dry, and free from sweat for the first few days
• Avoiding direct sunlight and heavy sweating
• Not picking, scratching, or scrubbing during healing
• Using SPF daily long-term to preserve results

We provide a clear, step-by-step aftercare guide at your appointment.

6) Does scalp micropigmentation affect my hair growth?

No. SMP does not stop or stimulate hair growth. It works by creating the illusion of tiny hair follicles without damaging natural ones.

7) How long are the scalp micropigmentation sessions?

Session length varies depending on the size of the area and density goals. Larger treatments may take several hours.

8) How long before a touch-up is needed?

While full results last for years, most clients return for a touch-up every 3–4 years to maintain a sharp, fresh look.

9) Can I work out after treatment?

Heavy sweating should be avoided for the first few days after treatment. Light activity is typically fine after that—just avoid heating up the scalp or excessive moisture until fully healed.

10) What’s the downtime after treatment?

SMP is non-surgical with minimal downtime. Most clients return to work and daily activities immediately, following short-term aftercare instructions.

11) How many sessions are needed?

Most people require 2–3 sessions to achieve the desired density and realism. This layering process ensures a natural, well-blended result.

12) What is the wait time between sessions?

Treatments are typically spaced 7–10 days apart, allowing the scalp to heal and the pigment to settle properly before layering additional density.
