FAQs
How Many Treatments Should I Expect?
SMP is never completed in 1 session. Treatments typically takes 2-4 sessions, 2 weeks apart. The 1st session usually lasting around 3 hrs, following sessions about 2 hrs. 7-14 days is needed between sessions to heal, as well as allow the pigment to settle into its true color before another application can be administered. Each session adds more density creating a more natural look that blends into the hair.
How Long Do The Results Last?
There is not one definitive answer to this question as the time frame differs with each client. Touch-ups are dependent on a person’s lifestyle, sun exposure, skin type, medications and hormonal influences. Patients may require a “colour boost” to maintain the look which can be done every on average of 2-5 years. If you don’t mind a little fading, you can get a touch-up every 5-7 years.
Is It A Tattoo?
Scalp micropigmentation is not a tattoo. While at a glance it would be easy to call this procedure just a tattoo, it is far from it. The ink used is specially formulated using a charcoal base insuring that your procedure will not turn blue or green like normal tattoo ink would. SMP utilizes different equipment than traditional tattooing. Digital technology and the finest nano needles are used which are smaller than your average tattoo needle, ensuring each impression mimics the size of an actual hair follicle.
Does It Hurt?
Not really. But there can be some minor discomfort in certain sensitive areas of your scalp.
Do You Re-Use Needles?
Never. At Coastal Cosmedics we pride ourselves on having an immaculate and sterile space. Each and every client receives a prepackaged, single use, disposable needle and supplies that are disposed of safely afterwards.
Is SMP Reversible?
Yes, SMP is fairly easy to remove because the pigment is just below the first layer of skin. It can be removed either per saline “LIFT” tattoo removal system which we offer in clinic. Please refer to “Corrections and Removal” section.
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost of SMP varies by hair loss type. The cost of your procedure depends on your desired results, hours of time required, and how much hair loss you are currently suffering from. Patients with moderate pattern balding or receeded hairline may 2 treamtents, where as a patient with more advanced hair loss would need considerably more treatments in order to acheive the look of “density” top the scalp. The price would be reduced in the case of someone who is only looking to cover a scar for example, or crown. On average the cost is $350/hour. Setting up a free consultation is the only way to give an accurate price. A quote will be given at the end of consultation. A $150 deposit is required to secure your booking and is redeemable on the day of consultation or if you proceed, will go towards your treatment.
