SMP Hair Restoration FAQ

Your SMP Scalp Micro Pigmentation will generally take 2 sessions spaced a few days to a week apart. These sessions will take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours dependent on your coverage requirement.

We use a natural mineral based pigment created specifically for SMP only, that has been formulated to set in the skin of the scalp once implanted, resulting in very fine, crisp, and clear follicle replications. This is not a commercially available product and is produced exclusively for us. We do not use regular tattoo inks or permanent make-up pigments as the quality is not conducive to hair follicle replication.

SMP Scalp Micro Pigmentation is considered  semi-permanent –  everybody’s skin and genetic profile is different. This can mean that one person may experience very little if any fading whereas the next person may require darkening procedures over time.

The aftercare is very straight forward and a full post treatment plan will be provided for you upon completion of your first treatment.

The only ongoing maintenance long term will be to keep your naturally growing hair shaved to ensure a complete, blended, natural looking result.

Reducing sun exposure to the scalp will help to keep a fresh looking result so we do suggest that you wear a good quality high factor sun block whenever you are outdoors.

Should a darkening procedure be required,  it is a fast simple rejuvenation process.

Not really! Where conventional tattoo’s deposit permanent pigment into the dermis layer of the skin, SMP Scalp Micro Pigmentation is applied into the epidermis layer which isn’t quite as deep. There is no dragging on the skin which is the part of a conventional tattoo that hurts. 
Most clients find the treatment very tolerable (many fall asleep during treatment). Even those clients that find they have a sensitive spot or two, find the result FAR outweighs any temporary discomfort that they experienced.

SMP Scalp Micro Pigmentation costs can vary depending on the total area to be covered and the density that will be required.

At the time of quotation we will request that you email or text photos to us for assessment. A written quotation will be provided which will not be exceeded unless additional changes outside of the original scope are requested.

​Don’t forget we offer FREE consultations where we can discuss not only SMP, but all other options along with costs, pro’s and con’s. We are here to help figure out what is the best option for YOU and will only recommend this treatment for you if we are confident that you will see a great result:)
