Treatment

Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive treatment that uses detailed micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. The result creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles or short hair stubble. Suitable if you are starting to thin, recede, or if you are completely bald.

Our pricing varies according to individual levels of hair loss, unique to each client. Generally, costs fall within the range of $1,500 to $3,500+. We suggest arranging a complimentary consultation for our team to assess your situation and offer a customised price quote tailored to your specific hair loss requirements.

Scalp micropigmentation typically requires 2-4 sessions, spaced about 7-14 days apart, depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring.

Scalp micropigmentation typically requires multiple sessions, spaced about 7-14 days apart. Each session lasts 2-4 hours depending on the extent of hair loss.

Scalp micropigmentation is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that typically lasts 4-6 years, depending on sun exposure. After that time, a touch-up may be needed. Schedule a consultation to discuss your treatment options.

Scalp micropigmentation creates the appearance of increased density in areas with thinning hair, such as the crown, hair parting, and hairline. For optimal results in hairline restoration, it is advised to maintain shorter hair for a more balanced appearance.

Scalp micropigmentation is generally considered to have a pain level of 3-5 out of 10, with 10 being the most painful. Discomfort is minimal and typically subsides after the session.

No, we offer free consultations to discuss how scalp micropigmentation can address your hair loss concerns.

Scalp micropigmentation can enhance the appearance of thickened areas, reducing scalp visibility. Clients experiencing significant hair loss are advised to consider shorter hairstyles for a more natural look.

Our experienced treatment specialists will help you choose the right hairline style for your head shape and age. You can also refine the hairline throughout your sessions for a perfect result.

Scalp micropigmentation is suitable for clients with grey hair. Short hair minimises the visibility of grey hair roots. Additionally, we use adjustable grey-scale pigments to blend seamlessly with existing hair tones.

Scalp micropigmentation uses specialised equipment, including a digital power source, a hand-piece, and disposable micro needles, to precisely deposit pigment into the scalp. This equipment differs from standard tattoo equipment to ensure delicate and accurate pigment placement.

Scalp micropigmentation is a specialised cosmetic procedure that mimics the appearance of short hair follicles using pointillism techniques. Unlike traditional tattoos, scalp micropigmentation employs specialised equipment designed for delicate and precise pigment placement on the scalp.

Scalp Micropigmentation vs. Tattooing: Key Differences

  • Depth: Scalp micropigmentation deposits pigment into the dermis, the upper layer of the skin, at a depth of about 2mm, while tattoos penetrate deeper into the skin.
  • Technique: Scalp micropigmentation employs a pointillism method, creating tiny dots to mimic hair follicles, unlike tattoos that involve shading or drawing lines.
  • Pigment: Scalp micropigmentation uses a specialised black pigment that is diluted to a greater extent than traditional tattoo inks, preventing colour fading or saturation over time.

Scalp micropigmentation does not regenerate hair growth. Instead, it creates the illusion of short hair or a buzz cut. For a natural-looking result, we recommend maintaining a shorter hairstyle.

While it's perfectly fine to wear a hat or beanie after your SMP treatment, we hope you won't feel the need to cover up your newfound confidence! Embrace your enhanced appearance and let your scalp micropigmentation work its magic.

We recommend no scrubbing, shampooing, or shaving over the treated area for 4-5 days after your scalp micropigmentation treatment.

After the completion of your scalp micropigmentation treatment, which typically consists of 2-4 sessions, you can expect the pigment to remain strong for many years. Over time, you may notice a slight fading of the colour, which is not a discolouration but a natural part of the pigment's aging process. When this occurs, a brief touch-up session can easily restore the desired look and extend the longevity of your scalp micropigmentation treatment.

Scalp micropigmentation is non-invasive and requires no down time. Typically, you won't require an extended break from your daily activities, whether it's work, school, or other commitments. Following the session, you may notice slight redness on the scalp for 2-3 days, which quickly fades. Many clients resume work immediately or within a couple of days. Feel free to wear hats or headwear during the healing process for added comfort. Your journey to a revitalised appearance is hassle-free and adaptable with scalp micropigmentation.

For optimal results, we suggest steering clear of chlorinated pools, saunas, steam rooms, and tanning beds for 28 days following your final scalp micropigmentation session. Prioritise this brief period of caution to ensure the longevity and vibrancy of your revitalised look.
