WHAT IS SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION?
Scalp Micropigmenation (SMP) is an innovative, Non-surgical hair thinning solution. It uses advanced, medical-grade pigment lightly tattooed into the scalp. This procedure is a solution that replicates the appearance of tiny hair follicles with a medical tattooing process.

Marlow our experienced esthetician and Scalp Micropigment specialist artist. She applys a special medical grade ink to the scalp with micro-fine needles to create thousands of tiny impressions, giving the illusion of hair. These micro dots match your tone and perfectly blend in with your remaining hair follicles.

This is an affordable solution for Men and Women that can be used to thicken thinning hair, enhance an existing hair transplant result, camouflage scalp scars or provide an alternative to individuals who want a non-surgical treatment to create the illusion of hair.

Frequently asked questions
Common Questions and Answers about Saclp Micropigmentation

    1. You complete a form & consent with your details such as health conditions and allergies.
    2. It depends if you need a partial or full scaple treatment. If full scap then we start drawing the hairline with a pencil, taking into account your age, skin tone and the amount of hair loss. If your are adding density to long hair then this step is not necessary. With Partial we will discuss areas to start and stop based on your wants and needs.
    3. Once you are happy to proceed we will start tattooing the first layer of micro dots on your scalp. 
  • Everyone needs a different amount of time. Your first scalp Micropigmentation session can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours depending on the scalp area that needs to be covered. 

    For a crown area density fill it could take up to 2 hours, meanwhile for a full head please allow 4 hours.

  • Our male and female clients generally report mild discomfort rather than pain during the treatment. The SMP needle only goes about 1 mm into the dermis layer of your skin as opposed to a regular tattoo which can go up to 2 mm deep.

    We handle our tools with the utmost precision to make sure that the thousands of dots are placed at the correct depth hence creating the best possible results with the least amount of discomfort.

  • Scalp Micropigmentation is a form of permanent makeup and is also known as a cosmetic hair/scalp tattoo. The treatment will stay on your head forever although it naturally fades over time. We place the ink in the cell and the cell regrow. People have the scalp filled in on personal preference between 3 to 6 years typically. We can also adjust color if you start to gray or changed.

    The pigments we use are top quality. Unlike normal ink it will never change into a different (blueish) tone and it will always mimic real hair follicles even when faded.

  • Scalp Micropigmentation requires no down time because it is a non-invasive treatment. The slight redness after the treatment goes away after 2-3 days. If you don’t mind it you can go to work or other functions right away. Some clients choose to wear a hat.

  • Scalp Micropigmentation DOES NOT  cause any more hair loss simply because the hair root goes much deeper into the skin (roughly 4mm). We only insert the pigment dots at 1 mm depth. 

  • It is perfectly normal for the first base to fade due to your skin healing and exfoliating. This can seem disappointing to many people but it is a natural reaction of your skin to the pigment. That is why you need 3 or even 4 sessions to build up the layers.

  • First 3 days – To avoid taking out the pigment you must wait 3 days before washing your hair after each SMP session. Stay out of the sun and use sunscreen if needed. You may wear a loose hat since the scalp may be a bit red after the procedure.

    Days 3 to 7 – Start to gently wash the pigmented area with lukewarm water and no shampoo. At this point you can use a little moisturizer

    After 7 days – You may start using shampoo at this point until your next session (if applicable). Keep your skin moisturized daily and don’t scrub or scratch your head for 3 weeks. Be gentle.

    First 3 Weeks – After each SMP session you must avoid swimming, sauna or heavy exercise. Anything which causes excessive sweating during this period will flush the pigment out of the skin and your treatment would go to waste.

    After 3 weeks – Your Scalp Micropigmentation is mostly healed so you can workout at the gym, go swimming and use sauna.

  • After each Scalp Micropigmentation session, the body starts the healing process.  Your head's skin will be red because of the increased blood flow to your scalp. The redness slowly goes away within 2-3 days. The head will start scabbing and it is VERY IMPORTANT not to touch or pick at these little scabs. 

    We know that it is very tempting to itch your head within the first week but that will take the pigment out of your skin and you don’t want that.

  • The thickness does take time to build. Each appointment will add more dots and natural variety to the appearance. The more appointments the more dense and real it looks.
