Unthink Inc • September 5, 2023

Are you looking for a way to cover up bald spots, or achieve a fuller-looking head of hair without having to undergo surgery? You may have heard of scalp micropigmentation (SMP) – a popular and increasingly popular cosmetic procedure that can provide the desired results. In this blog, we’ll discuss what SMP is, common questions people have about it, and why Unthink.inc is the best choice for SMP tattoo removal.


What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a minimally invasive method for creating the illusion of hair on a bald scalp. It involves using tiny needles to deposit pigment directly into the scalp in small amounts. These deposits create an effect similar to that of natural hair follicles. The overall effect is a more youthful-looking and fuller head of hair.


What are Some Benefits of SMP?

There are numerous benefits associated with SMP:

  • It’s non-invasive and relatively painless;
  • Results last longer than other methods such as topical solutions or transplants;
  • The effects are immediately visible;
  • No maintenance is required; and,
  • It’s cost-effective compared to other treatments.


How Long Does Scalp Micropigmentation Take?

The time required for completion depends on how much area needs to be covered as well as individual factors like skin type and health status. Generally speaking, an SMP treatment takes 2 - 4 hours per session with results becoming visible after each sitting. Multiple sessions may be required depending on your specific situation so consult with your practitioner regarding the exact number of sessions needed for optimal results.


How Long Do Results Last?

Results from scalp micropigmentation tend to last between three and five years before fading or requiring any sort of touch-up work or additional procedures depending on factors like UV exposure and aftercare practices..


Is There Any Scarring Associated With Scalp Micropigmentation?

No scarring should occur during an SMP procedure as long as it's done properly by a trained technician following all safety protocols involved with needling techniques. In some cases, side effects such as bruising can occur but these normally clear up within just a few days following treatment.


How Much Does Scalp Micropigmentation Cost?

The exact cost will depend on how big the area being treated is and how many sittings are recommended by your technician, however, generally speaking, most technicians charge between $400 - $600 per session making it one of the most cost-effective solutions when it comes to achieving permanent results for thinning hair or baldness issues which traditional methods cannot.
