Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive treatment for both men and women. It is also known as non-surgical cosmetic procedure that creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles, restoring the appearance of hair on a shaved scalp or camouflaging Thinning hair, Scar, Alopecia by creating the illusion of a thicker head of hair with Microdots.
After your sessions are complete, expect that the SMP results should last for many years. You may require touch-ups according to your particular needs.
es, we use a sterile one-time-use only pre-packaged needle. Our Lead Practitioner is a licensed technician by The New York City Department of Health.
Scalp micropigmentation should never be considered a one treatment Session. As a generalrule, most clients can expect between 3-5 sessions to complete their process. This will dependentirely on your skin type and the amount of hair loss or scarring. Each treatment session canlast between 2-5 hours spaced out between 1-4 weeks apart.
The discomfort you may feel is less significant than what you might experience having a tattoo. The needle penetration of the Scalp MicroPigmentation treatment is less invasive. Opinions of those who have undergone both procedures report that the SMP procedure is certainly more mild than getting a tattoo.
SMP is a permanent solution for hair loss and will last a lifetime with maintenance along the way. The frequency of maintenance (touch-ups) needed will depend on various factors such as your immune system, sun exposure and personal post-treatment care. The longevity of the results can vary from person to person. After completion of your treatment (3-4 sessions) a client should expect the strength of the color to last 4-6 years. Over a longer term, a client will very gradually begin to notice slight lightening (not discolor) of the treatment. When this occurs they can undergo a brief “touch up” session to restore any fading and secure many more years of their style.
Scalp Micropigmentation has become such an effective hair loss solution because of it’s consistently natural and undetectable results. We advise and work with clients individually to obtain the look they want, Seamlessly replicate each individual hair follicle to create a perfect match for each client.
The cost of SMP depends on your specific needs as well as any other personalized requirements you may have. Our treatment can range from $500 to $1200 per session. The minimum number of treatments necessary to see successful results is typically two to three sessions. If the client reaches three sessions the fourth session will be FREE up to ONE Year starting from the first session date
It varies depending on the amount of hair loss we are working with, but generally speaking treatment sessions can last between 2 to 5 hours per session, with short breaks taken every 30minutes or so.
This varies depending on your skin sensitivity level. Usually any redness will subside within 24hours of your SMP treatment. Some clients may experience redness for the following few days, although this is quite rare. Your scalp will not necessarily be sore after your treatment, but you may experience a slight ‘itchiness' at times whilst your skin is healing.
