Understanding Scalp Micropigmentation Removal: What You Need to Know

August 19, 2025

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) has become a popular solution for those seeking to restore the appearance of thicker hair or cover areas of hair loss. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are occasions when someone may wish to reverse their results. Whether you’re dealing with an unsatisfactory outcome or simply want to return to your natural look, understanding scalp micropigmentation removal is essential. At Unthink Inc., located in Ajax, ON, we offer advanced laser removal services specifically designed to safely and effectively address unwanted scalp pigmentation. Read on to discover everything you need to know about scalp micropigmentation removal, from how it works to what you can expect during and after treatment.


Why Choose Scalp Micropigmentation Removal?


There are several reasons you might consider scalp micropigmentation removal. Some clients may be unhappy with their SMP results due to colour, shape, or fading inconsistencies. Others may experience pigment migration, resulting in a blurred or unnatural appearance. Some individuals simply change their minds about the look, choosing to embrace their natural scalp or explore other hair restoration options. Whatever your reason, professional removal ensures your scalp is treated safely and effectively.


How Does Laser Scalp Micropigmentation Removal Work?


At Unthink Inc., we use the PicoWay laser, which is among the most advanced tattoo removal systems available today. Unlike traditional tattoo removal lasers, the PicoWay emits ultra-short pulses in picoseconds, allowing us to target pigment particles more precisely and break them up into much smaller fragments. These tiny particles are then naturally absorbed and removed by your body’s immune system.


Laser SMP removal works by delivering controlled bursts of laser energy directly to the pigmented areas. The energy shatters the ink deposits without causing significant damage to the surrounding skin, making it an ideal option for the delicate scalp. The process is personalized for each client based on pigment colour, skin type, and the extent of the treatment.


What to Expect During Scalp Micropigmentation Removal


Every SMP removal journey at Unthink Inc. begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this session, our owner and certified laser operator, Jim—an experienced Registered Nurse—will assess your scalp and discuss your goals. We’ll create a tailored treatment plan to ensure optimal results and safety throughout your sessions.


Laser removal itself is usually well-tolerated, but you may experience mild discomfort, similar to the sensation of a rubber band snapping against the skin. Sessions are relatively quick, and most clients require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve the desired results. The total number of sessions can vary depending on ink depth, pigment colour, and your body’s healing response.


Aftercare and Recovery: What You Should Know


Proper aftercare is key to successful SMP removal and healthy skin recovery. Following each session, you may notice minor redness, swelling, or mild tenderness—these effects typically subside within a day or two. We advise clients to keep the area clean, avoid excessive sun exposure, and refrain from picking or scratching at any scabbing that may form. Following Jim’s aftercare instructions will help promote smooth, even healing and the best aesthetic result.


Is Laser SMP Removal Safe for All Skin Types?


Laser technology has evolved considerably in recent years. Our PicoWay system is safe and effective on all skin types and can efficiently remove various SMP pigment shades, including difficult colours that older lasers struggled to treat. Our hands-on approach at Unthink Inc. ensures that each client receives genuinely personalized care and consistent oversight from an experienced medical professional—every step of the way.
