SMP is a non-surgical solution for hair loss & thinning.
SMP for Gals (and guys)
Many people experience hair loss at different times in their lives. It seems like it appears suddenly and can take a toll on your self-confidence!
Are you seeing hair loss or thinning at your temples, front hairline, crown, or the back of your scalp?
SMP is a new, easy, and affordable solution. It’s safe and long-lasting, and it offers immediate results.
What is SMP?
Scalp Micropigmentation Procedure (SMP) is a cosmetic tattooing procedure currently the country’s fastest-growing hair loss solution. Tiny hair follicle replications are tattooed directly into the scalp using a fine needle and special, custom-blended SMP pigments. It is more effective, convenient, and realistic than temporary fibers or sprays that can smudge, drip, or flake.
The procedure is called a “density treatment,” which gives the illusion of thicker, more luxurious hair! This process typically requires 3-4 sessions. Each session is approximately one and a half hours long.
What is the first step?
The first step is a consultation. We will discuss the placement of pigment and what you wish your desired results to be. I will create your custom color formula with top-of-the-line, specialized SMP pigments.
One of the first questions I usually get is, “Does it hurt?”
Although everyone’s tolerance is different, it is virtually painless. Most of my clients fall asleep!
What if I color my hair?
You can still color your hair, but you will need to wait four weeks after your SMP before you can color your hair again. The combination of SMP and hair color is amazing!
How long does it last?
SMP can last for 5 to 10 years and fades out gradually. Many women with blonde or silver hair love that their SMP creates a “shadow root” effect. SMP works beautifully with darker hair as well. It just blends right in. Shading around your center part also creates a thicker, more luxe effect.
SMP is safe and requires no downtime. It also works well with semi-permanent or temporary hair replacement alternatives like wigs and extensions.
Let me show you how I can boost your self-confidence by adding density to your scalp and hairline. I use only the finest quality tools and pigments. I have been certified many times in the latest permanent cosmetic and SMP techniques.
I look forward to seeing you!
