No, most clients experience no pain or mild discomfort. The average client has expressed the pain level to be 3-4 out of 10.

Pigment that is placed in the dermis are 90 to 150 micrometers in diameter. This might seem a bit larger than real human hair, but when viewed from six inches or further away, the size is indistinguishable from real hair follicles. Often, even close family members standing one foot away (0.3 meters), cannot tell where your real hair ends and the SMP begins.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is also known as a Hair Tattoo and has a similar process to that of a tattoo but with some key differences. The needles, machines, and pigments we use are designed specifically for Scalp Micropigmentation. Traditional tattoos are placed 5 plus layers into the skin whereas our Scalp Micropigmentation procedure is placed 2 layers into the skin allowing the pigment to hold its follicle-like shape.

Treatments typically include 2-3 sessions. The average Scalp Micropigmentation session is likely to last between 2-4 hours depending on your treatment needs. The first 30 minutes will be used to discuss style needs, color selection, and hairline positioning. The remaining time is used to perform the procedure and issue after-care guidelines.

SMP can treat the following conditions: • Alopecia • Male pattern baldness • Receding hairlines • Thinning hair • Crown hair loss • Head trauma. Surgical scars or scarring from burns, accident/injury, or medical condition • Damaged scalps due to weave and extensions

Usually, your pigment should be fully settled within 1-2 weeks after your procedure. We provide post-care guidelines that should be followed for the first week and after that, all we ask is that you protect your scalp with high-SPF Sunblock when planning to be in direct sun. With that said, you should be able to go to work or out to dinner immediately following your procedure.
