Although we all have different pain thresholds, many say that scalp micropigmentation is not that sore. It hurts less than having a regular tattoo. Scalp micropigmentation doesn’t penetrate the skin as deeply as normal tattooing. Most clients feel very little discomfort.

One of the core benefits of SMP procedures is that you can easily spot results immediately following treatment. That said, sessions can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, and you may need to allow time for your scalp to heal before seeing results. Some people may need to attend 2 or 3 sessions to achieve the results.

Micropigmentation is regarded as a semi-permanent solution to hair loss because it will not last forever. You can expect the pigment to last up to 5 years, sometimes more, with minor touch-up sessions. That said, no matter what you do or how many follow-up sessions you attend, the original pigment will eventually fade as our skin sheds itself naturally. Different skin types may fade the hair tattoo quicker than others.

This mostly depends on your skin type and condition. Often, people will need to attend more than one session to get their desired look; on average you will need 2-3 sessions and sessions can last between 2 to 4 hours each.

1. Wash your hair and scalp before visiting your SMP artist. This is because you will be unable to wash your scalp following treatment for at least four days. 2. Avoid swimming, saunas, steaming hot showers, and high-intensity exercise before and between treatments. 3. Avoid direct and prolonged sun exposure following your initial treatment, as UV rays can affect the quality and longevity of the tattooing. Wear a hat or stay in the shade whenever possible.

Aftercare intructions will be given to each client and discussed in detail at the end of your treatment.

In the following few days after treatment care must be taken to keep the area clean and dry. The tricky part for ladies is you will not be able to wash your hair during this period.

Avoid direct sunlight for at least one month to protect the pigment in your scalp. Continue to wear strong sunblock to help preserve its quality.

Avoid swimming pools, steam rooms, saunas, and extensive exercise for one month. Excessive sweating can prevent your scalp from healing correctly.
