Scalp micropigmentation can look either like hair that is denser or like shaved hair. But just as it would be odd to have only part of a head shaved, so too does SMP look odd when there is a mix of haired (long hair) and non-haired (closely shaved) areas on a scalp.

Background: Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is becoming increasingly popular. Accordingly, complications of the procedure are on the rise. However, the results of improperly performed SMP are exceedingly challenging to rectify and ultimately lead to severe mental stress and feelings of inferiority in patients.
SMP injects pigment in a dot pattern that replicates the natural look of hair follicles. Tattooing typically involves much deeper and widespread inking. There is also the fact that SMP procedures are usually spread out across several procedures.
Over time, sun exposure and skin cell turnover can lead to slight fading of the SMP pigment. However, this is usually a slow process and can be managed with regular touch-up sessions. This ensures your SMP always looks fresh and natural, regardless of your age.
With each session typically ranging from $400 to $1,000 and multiple sessions required per client, SMP practitioners can accumulate substantial income. Seasoned SMP technicians, leveraging their experience and reputation, can earn well over $100,000 annually.
Scalp Micropigmentation cost varies, because every scalp is unique with unique requirements. Typically, the price starts between $500 (pic 1) and $3000+ (pic 6). This price can include up to 3 sessions depending on how much scalp needs to be covered.
