When performed by skilled practitioners, SMP results in a remarkably natural appearance. The key lies in matching the ink color to your natural hair and replicating the look of hair follicles. High-quality pigments and advanced techniques ensure a realistic and subtle enhancement.

While SMP is generally safe, risks include uneven pigmentation or infections if not done under sterile conditions. Choosing a licensed, experienced practitioner minimizes these risks and ensures satisfactory results.

Skilled SMP appears indistinguishable from natural hair follicles. The technique’s success lies in its subtlety and precision, making it virtually undetectable to the untrained eye. Testimonials from our clients affirm the natural look and feel of their SMP treatments.

Scalp micropigmentation can maintain its appearance for up to eight years. Over time, slight fading may occur, which can be easily touched up. Proper care and occasional maintenance keep your SMP looking fresh and natural.

Scalp micropigmentation should never be considered a 1 treatment process. Most clients can expect between 2-4 sessions to complete their treatment depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring. These treatments are usually spaced about 2/3 weeks apart.

After completion of your treatment (2-4 sessions) a client should expect the strength of the color to last for many years. Over a longer term, a client will very gradually begin to notice slight lightening (not discolor) of the treatment. When this occurs they can undergo a brief “touch up” session to restore any fading and secure many more years of their style.

Full aftercare will be provided to you at your consultation and after your treatment. However a few things to think about is:

• Avoid exposure to sunlight whilst you are in the healing process as this may cause the pigment to fade
• Avoid anything that will cause you to sweat excessively
