Scalp Micro-Pigmentation

Thinning hair can change more than your appearance—it can change the way you feel when you look in the mirror. Scalp micropigmentation creates the appearance of fuller, denser hair with natural-looking results customized to you.

What is Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP)?

Hair can be deeply connected to how we see ourselves, and when it begins to thin or change, it can affect how we feel in ways that go far beyond hair. Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) uses carefully placed, custom-matched pigment to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles, reducing the contrast of visible scalp and creating the illusion of fuller, denser hair. Each treatment is customized to your skin tone, hair color, growth pattern and goals for a natural-looking result that helps you feel a little more like yourself again.

Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP) FAQs

Is Scalp Micro-Pigmentation permanent?

SMP is considered a long-lasting treatment but not entirely permanent. The pigments typically last 4–6 years before gradual fading may occur. Touch-ups are recommended every few years to maintain the appearance. Proper aftercare, such as avoiding prolonged sun exposure, can help extend the results.

Does Scalp Micro-Pigmentation look natural?

When performed by an experienced artist, SMP can look very natural. The technique involves matching pigment color to the individual’s skin tone and existing hair, carefully placing micro-dots to replicate the appearance of real hair follicles.

How many sessions are required for Scalp Micro-Pigmentation?

Most SMP treatments require 2–4 sessions, spaced about a week apart. Each session builds upon the previous one to create a realistic, layered effect. The exact number of sessions needed depends on the extent of hair loss and the desired look. A consultation is required to assess each individual’s needs and desired outcome.

How much does Scalp Micro-Pigmentation cost?

The cost of SMP varies depending on individual needs, such as the size of the treatment area, the level of hair loss, and the desired outcome. Smaller areas, like scar concealment, typically cost less, while full scalp treatments may be more expensive. On average, prices can range from $500 to $2,000.
