INTRO TO SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION (SMP)

Scalp micropigmentation, or SMP, is a minimally invasive process that uses specialized pigments and techniques to replicate the appearance of hair follicles on the scalp. This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing hair thinning, balding, or alopecia, and those looking to conceal scars from hair transplants or other procedures.

SMP involves the precise application of micro-dots of pigment into the scalp. These dots mimic the look of natural hair follicles, giving the illusion of a fuller head of hair. The result is a realistic, natural-looking hairline that can boost your confidence and enhance your overall appearance.

• Enhanced Appearance: SMP restores the appearance of a natural hairline, giving you a youthful, confident look.
• Concealment of Scars and Thinning: SMP is effective in concealing scars from previous hair transplants or other procedures, as well as areas of thinning.
• Safe and Effective: As a non-surgical procedure, SMP carries minimal risk and is suitable for most individuals experiencing hair loss.

• Non-Surgical and Permanent: SMP is a non-surgical solution that provides permanent results. Unlike hair transplants, there is no need for incisions, stitches, or long recovery periods.
• Low Maintenance: Once the procedure is completed, SMP requires minimal maintenance. There are no special shampoos or medications needed, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
• Immediate Results: One of the significant advantages of SMP is the immediate transformation. Most procedures can be completed in just one day, allowing you to leave our clinic with a new, rejuvenated look.

Is SMP painful?

The team at GLI has done thousands of SMP procedures and is asked this every day. Many clients describe the sensation as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. In fact, several clients have even relaxed to the point of falling asleep during the procedure! The level of discomfort varies depending on the individual, however, on average, clients rate their discomfort between 0 and 2 on a scale of 0 to 10.

How long does SMP last and how do I maximize the results?

Scalp micropigmentation is designed to be a durable, long-term solution for hair loss, reducing the need for frequent and costly maintenance. While some clients may only need one SMP procedure and never require further treatments, others might return for occasional tweaks and touchups, which can range from $295 to $595 depending on the options chosen. This ensures affordable maintenance over the long term.

The longevity of SMP can be influenced by several variables:

• Skin Type: Oily skin can cause the pigment to fade faster than dry or normal skin types.
• Sun Exposure: Frequent and prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause pigments to fade more quickly. Using sunscreen or wearing hats can help prolong the results.
• Pigment Quality: Higher-quality pigments, like those used at GLI, are more likely to retain their color and integrity over time. GLI offers a proprietary line of pigments to suit various skin tones and hair colors, ensuring the best possible match. These pigments are specifically designed for SMP and are not tattoo inks.
• Procedure Technique: The skill and experience of the SMP practitioner are crucial for the treatment’s durability. Proper depth, density, and technique ensure better and longer-lasting results. At GLI, certified technicians who have completed extensive and rigorous training and certification processes perform SMP procedures, ensuring high-quality outcomes.
• Aftercare: Following recommended aftercare procedures, such as avoiding excessive sweating, washing the scalp gently, and avoiding harsh chemicals, can help maintain the appearance of SMP.
• Immune System Response: An individual’s immune system can affect how quickly the body breaks down and absorbs the pigment.
• Touch-Up Frequency: Regular touch-ups can help maintain the vibrancy and appearance of SMP over time.
