SMP
Scalp & Hairline Micro-pigmentation
SMP gives the facade of denser hair for both men and women. The technique involves creating the appearance of tiny hair follicles by depositing micro-pinpoints of ink into the dermis of the scalp to give off the illusion of a recently shaved head or thicker and denser hair when combined with long hair. It simply restores your confidence with a bold new head of hair.

What to Expect
Consultation
The session generally starts with consultation to discuss your concerns and hair goals in order to tailor the procedure to get the desired results. This consultation enables us to provide personalized services that lead to better customer satisfaction.
Procedure
Our Vancouver Scalp micropigmentation professionals will initially map out your hairline with the help of brow calliper. An application of a topical anesthetic cream is applied for 20 minutes. Once removed we begin the deposition of the scalp pigment into the dermis using a pointillism technique. To achieve a more natural end result, the treatment takes three sessions to allow a natural follicle effect to occur.
Once the sessions are completed, after care products and detailed instructions are provided for better long lasting results. Please follow the instructions as directed.
Session Intervals
It is recommended to book each session with a gap of three weeks. The interval between the sessions allows the pigment to fade naturally and properly settle into the dermis before applying another layer. It makes your hairline appear more natural and less noticeable to the people you see more often. Scalp micro pigmentation treatments are usually permanent but may fade over time due to wear and sun exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is scalp micropigmentation, and how does it work?
Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves tattooing tiny dots of pigment onto the scalp to replicate the appearance of hair follicles. This technique helps to create the illusion of fuller hair, making it an effective solution for those experiencing hair loss or thinning.
Is the scalp micropigmentation procedure painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical anesthetic is applied to numb the scalp, helping to reduce any sensation. Pain levels can vary depending on individual tolerance, but many find the process quite tolerable.
How long does scalp micropigmentation last, and what factors influence its longevity?
Scalp micropigmentation typically lasts between 4 to 8 years, depending on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, and lifestyle. Regular touch-ups may be needed to maintain the vibrancy and definition of the pigment, especially in areas with significant sun exposure.
What should I expect during the scalp micropigmentation procedure?
The procedure generally involves multiple sessions, each lasting about 2 to 4 hours. During the initial consultation, the technician will assess your scalp and discuss your desired look. Each session builds upon the previous one to achieve a natural and realistic result.
Is there any special aftercare required after scalp micropigmentation?
Yes, proper aftercare is crucial for optimal healing and results. After the procedure, you should avoid washing your scalp, excessive sweating, and sun exposure for a few days. Your technician will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best outcome and longevity of the treatment.
