The Process
First Treatment
The first sitting is used to lay a ‘foundation’ of follicle replications. We work with you to create your perfect hairline, discuss what style you are looking for, and the treatment commences.
When you leave our clinic after your first session, you will see an immediate difference and a full look appearing. You will notice some fading after the first treatment, which is completely normal. We need the second and third session to complete the look of a full buzz cut.
We will provide you with optimal aftercare guidelines you’ll need to follow until we see you again for your second session about 10-14 days later.
The Process
Second & Third
During this session, we dramatically increase your replicated hair density to create the appearance of fullness and eradicate any sign of hair loss. We spend a lot of time blending your pigmented areas into your real hair for a perfectly seamless finish. We can make minor adjustments to the hairline in this session as well.
Depending on your progress, we will do one of the following:
- Schedule your third session for about 10 days later
- Review your treatment after a month to establish how the treatment looks
- Declare your treatment complete

FAQS
What can SMP do?
Scalp MicroPigmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment for hair loss. SMP can also be used to conceal scars.
Some people who are not good candidates for hair transplant surgery often choose SMP to create the illusion of a full head of hair. SMP can also be used to conceal a linear scar from a Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) surgery and the small round “dot” looking scars caused by a FUE hair transplant.
How does SMP work?
SMP is like a conventional tattoo in that the pigment is deposited under your skin surface in the dermal layer of skin. The dermal layer of skin is the permanent layer. However, unlike a traditional tattoo, SMP is deposited in the upper dermal layer (just deep enough to make it permanent). A traditional tattoo is deposited deep into the dermal layer. The shallow application is what makes the SMP appear more like a hair follicle (5 o’clock shadow) and not a blob of tattoo ink. Unfortunately, the shallow depth can also push the SMP pigment up to the skin surface and can result in fading over time. Some clients may require a touch up after a few years.
How real does SMP look?
SMP is obviously not real hair, but it can closely replicate the 5 o’clock shadow of a shaved scalp. If you keep your scalp shaved, SMP can look undetectable even up close. Of course, the quality of work depends on the skills of the practitioner as well as the pigment. It is an art form as much as it is a technical specialty that requires artistic flair and traits.
What is the difference between SMP and a tatoo?
SMP is like a tattoo in that the pigment is deposited under your skin surface in the dermal layer of skin. The dermal layer of skin is the permanent layer. However, unlike a traditional tattoo, SMP is deposited in the upper dermal layer, so it is deep enough in the skin to make it permanent. The shallow application is what makes the SMP appear more like a hair follicle (or 5 o’clock shadow) and not a blob of tattoo ink. A traditional tattoo, on the other hand, is deposited deep into the dermal layer.
What is the average time between sessions?
We recommend that our clients return after 7 days to receive their 2nd session and within the first month if a 3rd session is required. This allows enough time for the skin to exfoliate. The interval between each session can be custom tailored to your scheduling needs. There is no issue with slightly shorter or slightly longer waiting times in between sessions.
