Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation in Vancouver, WA is a non-surgical, semi-permanent tattoo technique for thinning of hair or baldness. This is also called SMP or scalp tattoo, which is used to mimic the hair follicle. To create the appearance of hair follicles, special pigments are deposited with the help of ultra-fine needles, which increase the look of the hair density on a bald or thinning scalp. SMP is a pointillist method, which is used to create tiny and layered dots in different shades of black that create the shadow of hair follicles, giving a natural, fuller look to your scalp. Scalp Micropigmentation will camouflage the area with bare scalp and blend color into the existing hair growth.

Women’s SMP is now gaining popularity due to its maintenance-free and long-lasting effect. A woman’s scalp tattoo helps to replicate the natural hair, giving density to thinning crown hair or part line. This helps gain confidence within women and frees them from wigs or extensions. Scalp micropigmentation cost varies based on your treatment session and area.
This is a game changer for anyone with thinning hair. SMP can help lower a higher than desired hairline, fill in the thinning temple area and along bare part lines. SMP is also great for scar coverage. Whether from hair transplants or other surgical scars. The addition of tiny dots or ‘follicles’ inside the scarred area will blend the color throughout the affected area to give it a more natural look.
This is an innovative solution for hair loss that is waterproof, low maintenance, and can be used with other hair regrowth products and is an option for those who don’t have enough hair to qualify for a hair graft transplant.
The special scalp pigment used for the SMP technique will fade over time allowing it to fade away rather than changing color like traditional tattoo pigments. With semi annual refreshes you can maintain a realistic and flattering appearance that looks great for years. A touch up approximately every 3-5 years is to be expected but can vary based on lifestyle, skin type and adherence to aftercare guidelines.
Women and men with thinning hair that are looking for long lasting solutions that can create density through their hairline.
Yes you can use other treatments for hair loss, topical and oral. These complementary techniques can work well together but it is important to disclose use of these products to your practitioner as some may need to stop temporarily around your session to not compromise healing of the SMP.
Since the pigments used for SMP soften over time, as your hair naturally lightens. The appearance for the ‘follicles” will provide added dimension to your existing hair. If you already have light hair, we will select the most suitable color and then patch test colors as needed to ensure the most natural results.
This treatment usually takes approximately 2-4 sessions, with sessions scheduled a few weeks apart to allow healing between appointments. Sessions are generally 2-4 hours in length. The exact number of sessions will be determined by each person’s hair loss, skin type and desired outcome.
Some will have more discomfort if there is previous scarring. Most clients feel it ranges at a 3 out of 10. Numbing products can be used to increase your comfort.
Cost is determined by the size of area to be treated.
