Cost for SMP varies from case by case , depending on the severity of hair loss and the amount of work needed. Typically, clients can expect treatment costs ranging between $1000-$3200.

Typically, most people will need a touchup session every 3 to 5 years to maintain the colour. Scalp Micropigmentation is a semi-permanent procedure that can last over 10 years with proper care. However, as your skin naturally sheds its layers and absorbs the pigment, the treatment will gradually fade and may need touchups. Individual factors, such as sun exposure and skin type (dry or oily), can influence how quickly this occurs.
Head Ink SMP offers a 3 month treatment guarantee to cover any fading or changes to hairline.
Consultation: The initial step is to arrange a consultation with a Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) specialist. During this meeting, the specialist will evaluate your hair loss and discuss your goals and expectations for the treatment.
Design: If you decide to proceed with SMP, the specialist will develop a personalised design based on the shape of your head, hairline, and your desired hair density and colour.
Treatment: SMP typically requires 3-4 sessions over 3-4 weeks. In each session, the specialist uses micro-needles to apply pigment to your scalp, gradually creating the look of hair follicles. The procedure is generally painless with no downtime, so you can continue your daily activities right after each session.
Aftercare: Following each session, you'll need to adhere to specific aftercare instructions for optimal healing and results. For example, for the first 3 days, avoid getting your scalp wet, sweating excessively, sun exposure, and using hair products.
Maintenance: While SMP is a durable solution for hair loss, occasional touch-ups may be necessary to maintain its appearance over time. The frequency of touch-ups will depend on factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, and desired hair density.
Overall, Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a safe and effective method for addressing hair loss, offering natural-looking results with minimal upkeep. If you’re dealing with hair loss, SMP might be the solution you need to restore your confidence and achieve a look you’re happy with.
Most clients rate the pain from 2 to 5 out of 10, often describing it as more of an irritating itch than actual pain. The front temples, hairline, and sides of the head are usually the most uncomfortable areas due to the concentration of nerve endings there. For those with very low pain tolerance, numbing cream is available.
Most clients resume work the day after their treatment session. Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure with no associated downtime. You will only need to follow the 4-day aftercare instructions provided before each treatment.
It’s essential to follow our 4-day post-treatment instructions to avoid excessive fading and contamination. Specifically, this means avoid from touching, washing, cutting your hair, or engaging in workouts during the first 4 days.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) and hair transplants address hair loss in different ways. SMP is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny pigment dots to replicate the appearance of shaved hair, giving the illusion of fuller hair and natural growth. It delivers immediate results with minimal downtime.
On the other hand, hair transplants involve surgically relocating hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another to encourage natural hair growth. This method is more invasive, with longer recovery periods and potential complications.
While SMP provides a realistic look of thicker hair, it does not stimulate actual hair growth. Hair transplants can restore real hair growth but may not be suitable for everyone due to factors like cost, recovery time, and variable outcomes. The decision between SMP and hair transplants depends on individual needs and preferences.
