Question 1

What is Scalp Migropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

Scalp Micropigmentation, or SMP for short, is a safe, effective, and convenient way to cover up thinning hair and baldness. It involves the placement of tiny pigment granules into the scalp to create the illusion of fuller, thicker hair. This hair tattoo is non-invasive and perfect for people suffering from alopecia.

Is SMP safe?

Question 4

How long will the results last?

The cost of treatment varies depending on the size of the area and the extent of treatment needed. Please get in touch with us for a complimentary consultation and no-obligation quote!

Question 6

Is SMP painful?

Accepted Answer

As it is a tattoo, there may be some mild discomfort during the treatment. However, the majority of our clients do not consider it to be painful, and there is very litle to no pain or discomfort after the treatment has been performed. We have even had people so relaxed during the treatment that they fall asleep! 
If you are worried about experiencing pain during the treatment, a topical anaesthetic can be used to numb the area being treated.

Question 7

Are there any side effects?

Accepted Answer

There are very few risks and/or side effects associated with SMP. In rare cases, some people may experience minor swelling, bruising, or itching around the treated area. These effects are temporary and will resolve on their own within a few days of your treatment.  
It is important to stop taking any blood thinning medications prior to your treatment (where possible) and avoid drinking alcohol for the 48 hours before your treatment to reduce this risk.

Question 8

How long does the procedure take?

Accepted Answer

The SMP treatment takes on average around 3 hours per session. However, this will be dependent on the size of the area being treated and the extent of treatment.

Question 9

When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

This is the best part - the results are vivible immediately! As the pigment settles into the skin, the results will gradually improve over the 4-8 weeks following your treatment.

Question 10

Will it be obvious that I've had SMP?

Accepted Answer
