Step by step

The Scalp Micropigmentation Process

Most clients complete treatment in two or three sessions, typically spaced approximately two weeks apart. Building the result gradually allows the pigment to settle and gives the artist greater control over the final density and shape.

  1. 1

    Consultation and assessment

    Discuss your goals, evaluate the treatment area and design a plan based on your hair pattern, skin tone and preferred result.

  2. 2

    First SMP session

    The initial foundation layer is placed at a lighter density to establish the shape, tone and treatment pattern.

  3. 3

    Density and refinement

    Additional impressions are layered between the first session's healed pigment to create greater depth and coverage.

  4. 4

    Final detailing(if needed)

    When needed, a third session refines the hairline, balances density and completes the blend.

Spacing between visits gives the scalp time to heal cleanly and lets each layer settle before the next is placed.
