Every person is different, and we’ll customize your SMP procedure to your needs. Typically, however, the process is very simple and takes about 5-8 weeks. Below is the most common timeline for the SMP process:
During your free in-person consultation, our SMP artist will assess your hair loss to find out if you’re a good candidate for scalp micropigmentation and determine the best treatment option. You’ll also discuss your goals and concerns, so we can ensure a long-term result that you’ll be satisfied with. (Get directions to our office)
In Session 1, the artist will focus on making the first layer, creating or adding to the natural hairline, and building the foundation. Though the look will not be complete, you will be able to see immediate improvement. 7-14 Day Gap
In Session 2, the artist will observe how your skin has reacted to the pigmentation and make any necessary adjustments. They’ll continue adding density to the scalp, building texture to make it look as natural as possible. You may feel as though the look is complete after Session 2, but we usually recommend a third session to touch up the final details. 7-14 Day Gap
In Session 3, the artist will finalize the hairline and perfect the details. If you have any last concerns, they will address them, as well as provide you aftercare instructions and materials. Most people will only need 3 Sessions to achieve the desired result and won’t need to come back for 2-5 years.
Depending on your hair loss situation, you may need additional sessions. After the third session, we’ll wait 6-8 months to let the scalp fully heal before scheduling the next session.
