SMP at HQ

A minimum of 3 sessions are required but sometimes a 4th or 5th session is necessary to perfect the result. A full treatment can be completed in 5-6 weeks usually. In comparison with a hair transplant which can take up to one year to get the full result.

This depends on how well you look after it and the type of skin it’s applied to. Typically if well looked after the treatment can last up to 3-4 years per completed treatment. Even then it doesn’t disappear but merely drops a shade. It is very easy to revitalise scalp micropigmentation with a single top up session where we apply what we call a 3D scatter of new pigment over the older treatment. It will look as good as new.

The vast majority of our clients will tell you that the treatment is very bearable. There is some sensation as we are using a needle to apply pigment to the skin. However since we’re just touching the epidermis and not piercing the sensation is minimal and nowhere near the same as what you would get with a tattoo. On a scale of 1-5 in our client surveys, 95% of clients report the pain level at a 2 (1 being no pain and 5 being painful).

After each session we ask the client not to apply anything to the scalp for 72 hours. Then we require a further 4 days (7 days total for healing). In some cases this must be extended to 10-14 days if the client skin is more sensitive or takes longer to heal.
