SMP for Women

The pigment typically remains visible for two to four years, depending on your skin type, sun exposure, and scalp care routine. Clients with oily skin or those who spend significant time outdoors may notice fading sooner. A colour boost session can restore the original density and tone. The treatment does not disappear suddenly; it lightens gradually, giving you time to plan maintenance without a noticeable drop in appearance.

Yes, you can continue coloring, styling, and cutting your hair as usual once the scalp has fully healed. Avoid applying color directly to treated areas during the first four weeks to prevent pigment interference. Hair dye, heat styling, and chemical treatments will not damage the scalp pigment, though harsh products may accelerate fading over time. It is worth mentioning any planned hair treatments during your consultation so the pigment shade can be matched accordingly.

Most clients describe the sensation as tolerable, similar to light scratching or mild discomfort rather than sharp pain. A topical numbing cream is applied before the session to minimize sensitivity. Afterward, the scalp may feel tender and look slightly red for a day or two, but this does not typically prevent you from returning to normal activities. Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, and excessive sweating for the first week to allow the skin to heal properly without complications.

The pigment is carefully matched to your natural hair color and applied in a way that mimics the appearance of hair follicles beneath the skin. When healed, the effect should be subtle and blend seamlessly with your existing hair. The treatment is designed to reduce scalp visibility, not to create the appearance of a full head of hair where none exists. Results depend on accurate color matching, proper placement, and realistic expectations discussed during your consultation.

Yes, the treatment can be adapted over time as your hair pattern changes. Additional pigment can be applied to new areas of thinning, or the tone can be adjusted to match changes in your natural hair color. Maintenance sessions allow for these updates, ensuring the treatment continues to suit your current appearance. If hair loss progresses significantly, the approach may need to be reconsidered, and this will be discussed openly during follow-up consultations to keep expectations realistic and aligned.

No. We offer scalp micropigmentation for women dealing with hair loss, thinning hair or balding. A small, sterile needle deposits pigment into the scalp to create the illusion of a denser head of hair. If you are unsure whether it suits your situation, ask us for a consultation.
