The Treatment

Your younger look, back

Most men are extremely self-conscious about their hair and want to get their younger look back.

Hair transplants are a thing of the past. They are way too expensive and there is too much surgery involved. Scalp Micropigmentation is what the “cool kids” are doing. It looks very natural just like real hair and has amazing long lasting results.

The Method

How does it work?

SMP is done with small dots of pigment implanted into the skin with a very thin needle on a tattoo machine. The dots are the exact same size as the hair follicle making it nearly impossible to tell the difference between the real hair and the SMP.

Because the needle vibrates at such a high speed, each dot mimics the look of a hair follicle, and the pigment sits in the same skin layer where hair follicles form — resulting in a very natural look.

Hairline restoration for men and women

Thinning hairlines and bald patches affect both men and women, and can result from genetics, aging or lifestyle factors. SMP is a non-surgical way to create the illusion of fuller, denser hair — for density work on thinning hair or a full hairline rebuild.

Designed around you

Hairline work requires an understanding of skin, pigment selection and artistry. Your artist takes into account your hair color, skin tone and the natural direction of your hair growth to design a hairline that blends seamlessly and complements your features.

Before

Before your appointment

  1. 01

    Confirm your appointment

    Double-check the date and time of your appointment and confirm with the studio to avoid any misunderstandings. Being punctual and organized helps you start your PMU journey on the right foot.

  2. 02

    Fill out consent forms

    Have all necessary consent forms filled out before your visit. This saves time during your appointment so you can focus on discussing your desired look with your artist. Please be aware that services may be filmed and used for social media marketing (an additional consent form must be signed).

  3. 03

    Avoid caffeine and alcohol

    In the days leading up to your appointment, avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol. They can thin your blood and increase bleeding during the procedure.

  4. 04

    Hydrate your skin

    Drink plenty of water in the days before your appointment. Well-hydrated skin holds pigment better and gives a more even color payoff.

  5. 05

    Avoid retinol products

    Retinol increases skin sensitivity and thins the skin, making it more prone to bleeding. Avoid retinol on the treatment area for at least one week before your appointment.

  6. 06

    Get a good night’s sleep

    Being well-rested helps you feel more comfortable during the procedure and promotes better healing afterward.

  7. 07

    Communicate clearly with your artist

    Think about the look you want beforehand and be ready to share your expectations, preferences and any concerns, so you and your artist are on the same page.
