Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive treatment that uses detailed micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. The result creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles or short hair stubble.
Natural-looking strokes that rebuild your hairline, creating the appearance of thicker hair, where natural hair has thinned. The process is similar to Eyebrow Microblading, however, the hair stroke placement follows a different pattern to achieve a natural look. It can extend up to two inches from your real hairline, any wider area can be combined with Scalp Micropigmentation SMP.
Scalp micropigmentation should never be considered a one treatment process. Most clients can expect between 2-3 sessions to complete their treatment depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring. These treatments are usually spaced about 10-20 days apart.
The Scalp Micropigmentation treatment typically takes 2-3 hours per session depending on your degree of hair loss. It may take only 1 hour for small scars. Most clients can expect between 2-3 sessions to complete their treatment depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring. These treatments are usually spaced about 10-20 days apart.
SMP results last longer than any other permanent makeup.After completion of your treatment (2-4 sessions) a client should expect the strength of the color to last for many years depending on lifestyle. On average, results last about 5 years before the color starts to get lighter. 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.
No! Scalp micropigmentation is non-invasive and requires no down time. In most cases, you will not need to take any extended time away from work, school, or other functions. After treatment it is common to notice slight redness on the scalp for 2-3 days post session. This redness subsides quickly and most clients return to work either right away or within a couple days. Clients are also allowed to wear hats or headwear should they feel the need. however, if your work requires exercise and heavy sweating you should take about 5 days off.
If you are unsure of what style or type of hairline will work for you, we will take measurements of your scalp and design a hairline that best suits your face. Over the course of your sessions you can also tweak and adjust the hairline for a perfect result. Also you may show pictures of your previous hairline or desired style.
Scalp Micropigmentation is a form of permanent cosmetics or permanent makeup. Often referred to as a cosmetic hair or scalp tattoo, this treatment typically lasts 4-6 years.

No. The pigment contains no additional colorants or additives and will only lighten, not discolor over an extended time.Scalp micropigmentation also utilizes different equipment than traditional tattooing, ensuring the needle and machine are designed specifically for micropigmentation of the scalp.
Depending upon the pattern and extent of the thinning hair, some clients are able to maintain a longer length of hair. Scalp pigmentation can help thicken areas so that less of the scalp is seen showing through. However, if there is a strong pattern of hair loss or just not a lot of hair density left, the client is recommended to crop it shorter.
Yes, those with gray hair can still benefit from the scalp micropigmentation procedure. First, most clients are recommended to cut their hair to a short buzzed length. When this is done, gray hair does not appear as gray because the hair root itself is darker. Hair only shows gray as it gets longer. Second, we use a gray-scale pigment that can be adjusted in shade to blend with lighter hair tones. We simply create a lighter dilution for blending into the existing gray hairs.
Yes! By replicating tiny hair follicles inside the scarring and blending the color around the scarring area, transplant and surgical scars can see massive improvement in concealment.
Yes! We are able to match the shade of our pigment to a wide range of skin tones. Whether you are Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic, Asian, or Pacific Islander and much more…scalp micropigmentation can work for you.

For most clients, the pain is minimal and it’s consistently less painful than traditional tattoos. After your session, you won’t experience any further discomfort.
Scalp Micropigmentation is used to add density to thinning areas. We are able to add thickness to common areas like the crown, hair parting and more. For people that are using scalp micropigmentation to rebuild their hairline, we recommend keeping your hair short for a more balanced look.
Clients can continue using Propecia during and after their scalp pigmentation procedure. Rogaine (topical minoxidil) should be suspended during the course of treatment and for 30 days post your final session. This is to ensure the proper healing and settling of pigment without interference of the chemicals found in Rogaine foam.
Yes! We use our specialized scalp micropigmentation technique to deposit color matched pigment into the scar to reduce visibility.
Scalp Micropigmentation is the process commonly known as a hair tattoo or scalp tattoo.

There are three main differences between Scalp Micropigmentation vs. Tattooing:
1 We are depositing pigment into the skin at a shallower depth than tattoos, only about 2mm into the dermis
2 We are strictly making small micro dots through pointillism method, not shading or drawing lines.
3 We use only SMP pigment which is much more diluted than typical tattoo inks. For this reason, it won’t break down to different colors or look too saturated once it heals
After the first scalp micropigmentation session, your treatment will fade for the first 4 days and reappear around day 7, which is completely normal. In the second and third sessions, we add more density to create a fuller look. Pigment retention varies for each person and some may notice more fading that others.
No, the scalp micropigmentation treatment will not grow your hair back. However, the SMP treatment will give you the look of short hair or a tight buzz-cut or add density if you have long hair.
