UNDERSTANDING SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a specialized cosmetic tattoo procedure that creates the appearance of natural hair follicles by placing tiny pigment impressions into the scalp. The result is the illusion of greater hair density or a clean, freshly shaved hairstyle.
Suitable for both men and women, SMP provides a non-surgical solution for thinning hair, receding hairlines, complete hair loss, alopecia, and hair transplant scar camouflage. Every treatment is individually designed to complement your natural features and desired look.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a specialized cosmetic tattoo procedure that uses tiny pigment deposits to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles. Whether you're experiencing thinning hair, pattern baldness, alopecia, or hair transplant scarring, SMP creates the illusion of greater hair density or a closely shaved hairstyle with natural-looking, undetectable results.
SMP is suitable for both men and women experiencing thinning hair, receding hairlines, complete hair loss, alopecia, or visible hair transplant scars. It is also an excellent option for those looking to enhance the appearance of hair density without surgery. During your consultation, Janette will assess your hair loss pattern, goals, and lifestyle to determine if SMP is the right solution for you.
Most clients complete their scalp micropigmentation treatment in two to three sessions, scheduled approximately 12–14 days apart. Additional sessions may be recommended depending on the extent of hair loss, scar camouflage, previous SMP work, pigment retention, and your desired level of density.
Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated. Initial sessions typically last around three hours, while follow-up appointments generally range from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Larger treatment areas, scar camouflage, or corrective work may require additional time.
SMP results typically last between three and five years, although longevity varies based on skin type, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, medications, and proper aftercare. Periodic touch-up sessions help maintain fresh, natural-looking results over time.
No. Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-surgical procedure with little to no downtime. Mild redness may be present for up to 48 hours following treatment, but most clients return to work and normal daily activities immediately.
Yes. SMP is highly effective for concealing FUT strip scars, FUE extraction scars, scalp reduction scars, and other hair restoration scars. Pigment is carefully blended into the surrounding scalp to minimize the visibility of scarring and create a more uniform appearance.
Absolutely. Many clients choose to combine scalp micropigmentation with hair transplant procedures. SMP can increase the appearance of density, soften visible thinning, improve the look of transplanted hair, and camouflage transplant scars for an even more natural result.
In many cases, yes. Clients with mild to moderate thinning can often maintain longer hairstyles while using SMP to reduce scalp visibility and create the appearance of fuller hair. During your consultation, Janette will recommend the ideal hair length based on your current hair density and treatment goals.
Every treatment is customized to the individual. Pricing depends on the size of the treatment area, level of hair loss, scar coverage, and overall treatment plan. Density treatments generally start around $500, while complete scalp treatments may range up to approximately $2,500. A complimentary consultation provides the most accurate personalized quote.
Every hairline is individually designed to complement your facial structure, age, natural hair growth pattern, and personal preferences. Janette works closely with each client during the consultation to create a realistic, balanced hairline that looks natural from every angle.
Yes. Like all cosmetic tattoo procedures, SMP gradually softens over time without changing to unnatural colors. Most clients choose a maintenance or refresh session every few years to maintain optimal density and definition.
Some individuals naturally retain pigment less effectively due to factors such as skin type, immune response, faster skin exfoliation, or lifestyle habits. Clients with oily skin or lower pigment retention may require additional sessions initially or occasional touch-ups sooner than average.
