WHAT IS SCALP
MICROPIGMENTATION?

Scalp Micropigmentation (or SMP for short), is a non-surgical, permanent hair loss solution that gives the illusion of a close buzz cut hair style on a bald head or adds density to a thinning hair line or crown. The procedure can also be used to conceal scars from hair transplants, surgery and accidents. We do this by inserting pigment into the scalp, emulating tiny hair follicles. Clients walk away with the appearance of a full head of hair and their confidence restored.

Scalp Micropigmentation is a form of Cosmetic Pigmentation that uses different machines, needles and pigments calibrated specifically for the scalp. The pigments will never discolor like tattoo inks, only lighten over time. Compared to tattoos, SMP only penetrates the top epidermis layer of skin, while regular tattoos are deposited deeper into the dermis layer of skin.

PAINFUL?

Pain is individual, however our past clients have reported the pain being minimal, and highly tolerable for many hours at a time. Once the treatment is over, any discomfort you may feel typically subsides right away.

The initial Scalp Micropigmentation makeover typically lasts up to 4-6 years and will slightly lighten over time, but will never discolor like a regular tattoo. We offer density touch-ups for a fraction of the initial treatment fee.

DOES SCALP
MICROPIGMENTATION

LOOK NATURAL?

If completed by the right artist, then yes. The entire concept of Scalp Micropigmentation is to simulate what you would look like with a full head of hair, whether you keep it short or long. Artists at The Scalp Shop pride themselves on making this look hyper-realistic, so no one knows what's real hair or SMP. Feel free to click on the images in the Before & After gallery to see examples of our work.

Treatment fees depend on the amount of hair loss a person has and what their goals are. Most male pattern hair loss treatments fall between $2500-$4500 price range. To know what your personalized treatment plan and quote looks like, we invite you to schedule a free consultation today.
