SMP SOLUTIONS

General Questions

1. What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic tattoo that replicates the look of natural hair follicles to restore the appearance of fuller hair or a clean shaved head.

2. Who is a good candidate for SMP?
Anyone experiencing thinning hair, pattern baldness, alopecia, or scalp scarring (including from hair transplants) can benefit from SMP. It works for both men and women.

3. Does SMP look natural?
Yes — when done by a skilled artist, SMP is customized to your hair color, skin tone, and hairline style, creating a realistic, natural look that blends seamlessly.

Treatment Process

4. How many sessions will I need?
Typically 2–3 sessions spaced 10–14 days apart for best results. Each session builds density and ensures even pigment retention.

5. How long does each session take?
Sessions can last anywhere from 2 to 5 hours depending on the treatment area and density required.

6. Is SMP painful?
Most clients describe the pain as mild or comparable to light scratching. A topical numbing agent can be used for added comfort.

Aftercare & Healing

7. What is the healing process like?
You may notice slight redness for 24–48 hours. Avoid sweating, shaving, or washing your scalp for the first 4 days. After about 7–10 days, your scalp will fully settle.

8. Can I wash or shave my head after SMP?
Yes, but only after the initial 4-day healing period. After that, you can resume gentle washing and shaving as normal.

9. Are there any side effects?
Temporary redness and mild tenderness are normal. The pigments are hypoallergenic and designed for sensitive skin.

Results & Longevity

10. How long does SMP last?
SMP typically lasts 4–6 years before a touch-up may be needed due to natural fading.

11. Will the pigment change color over time?
No — quality SMP pigments are formulated to fade gradually but not discolor (no blue or green tones).

12. Can SMP be removed or adjusted?
Yes. SMP can be lightened, corrected, or reshaped using laser removal or pigment blending techniques.

How much does SMP cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the area and the amount of coverage needed. Full scalp sessions typically start around $850–$2,500. Consultations are required for exact quotes.

14. Do you offer payment plans?
Yes — flexible payment options and financing may be available. Inquire during your consultation.
