Frequently Asked Questions About Scalp Micropigmentation

What is scalp micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses detailed micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. This creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles, restoring the look of a fuller head of hair or a defined hairline.

Who is a good candidate for SMP?
Ideal candidates include individuals experiencing hair thinning, baldness, alopecia, or those who want to camouflage scars on their scalp. SMP works well for all hair colors and skin tones.

Is scalp micropigmentation painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort similar to a light scratching. We apply topical numbing agents to minimize any pain during the procedure.

How long does the SMP procedure take?
A typical SMP session lasts between 2 to 4 hours. Most clients require 2 to 3 sessions spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart for optimal results.

How long does scalp micropigmentation last?
SMP results can last 3 to 8 years before a touch-up is needed. The pigment gradually fades over time due to skin exfoliation and sun exposure.

Will SMP look natural?
Yes. At Sacred Skull, our expert practitioners customize pigment color, density, and hairline design to create a natural and realistic hair follicle appearance that complements your features.

Can SMP be used to cover scars?
Absolutely. SMP is highly effective for camouflaging scars from hair transplant surgery, injuries, or other scalp conditions by blending the scarred area with surrounding hair.

Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal but may include slight redness or mild swelling immediately after treatment. These typically resolve within a few hours.

How should I care for my scalp after the procedure?
Avoid aggressive washing, sweating, or exposing your scalp to direct sunlight for about 4 to 5 days post-treatment. Moisturizing and gentle scalp care instructions will be provided.

How much does scalp micropigmentation cost?
Pricing varies based on the extent of coverage needed. Contact Sacred Skull for a customized consultation and pricing estimate.
