Scalp Micro-pigmentation is a form of semi-permanent makeup used to restore the look of hair on someone who is experiencing hair loss.

HOW IS IT DONE?

Scalp Micro-pigmentation is performed similarly to other types of permanent makeup; with a needle that vibrates at a high speed with pigment on it. The needle is rotating at such a high speed that it mimics the look of each hair follicle when implanting the pigment into the scalp.

When the needle is vibrating, it gets implanted into the same skin layer that hair follicles are formed resulting in a very natural look. This procedure will last 3-6 years and the client will just have to get the treatment touched up and they will be good again for another 3-6 years. Since this procedure lasts a long time, the cost for this procedure is very high compared to other forms of permanent makeup. A scalp procedure ranges anywhere from $2,000 to $4,500 which is a very profitable technique to perform.

HOW DO I LEARN SCALP MICRO-PIGMENTATION?

We have world-renowned scalp micro-pigmentation training here at Elite. There are many mistakes that can be made when performing this technique and since it is on someone’s head, you don’t want to make those beginner mistakes. In our training, we teach all of our students the proper way to perform this technique and what mistakes to avoid.

“We have a 5-day scalp micro-pigmentation training course available year-round.  This training will come included with the exact machine and products our professional team uses! You can book your training.

Getting SMP, or learning to perform it

We perform scalp micropigmentation at our West Los Angeles studio, for both density work on thinning hair and full hairline restoration. Artists who want to add SMP to their menu can take our scalp micropigmentation training, one of the highest-ticket services in permanent makeup and a natural second skill alongside microblading certification. See every program at the Los Angeles training center.

This is one of the top questions we get here at Elite Permanent Makeup, “does permanent makeup hurt?” The short answer is, no and here’s why.

All of the clients that come to us are always pleasantly surprised to find that permanent makeup is not nearly as painful as they imagined. This is because we use a medical grade numbing cream so you won’t feel a thing

Our numbing cream consists of three magic ingredients: Lidocaine, Benzocaine, and Tetracaine. A combination of these three results in a very strong numbing cream which leads to a pleasant experience whether you are getting microblading, lip tinting, or another one of our awesome services!

With all that being said, some clients will feel slightly uncomfortable when getting microblading or a similar procedure done due to the “scratching” sensation.

When getting microblading, a tool called a “microblade” is used to make a small incision into your skin with a colored pigment. The process of microblading tends to have a weird scratching sound that is uncomfortable to some. It gives you the same feeling of nails scratching across a chalkboard.

Overall, permanent makeup and microblading is a very painless procedure if the right numbing cream is used. There might be some uncomfortable sounds involved, but you will be pleasantly surprised about how little you feel. Some clients of ours even fall asleep when getting permanent makeup done.

Which treatments people ask about most

Comfort varies by area. Brows tend to be the easiest, which is why microblading and nano brows are the most common first appointments, while lip blushing and permanent eyeliner get more numbing time. Medical work such as scar camouflage and areola reconstruction is paced around how the skin is healing rather than to a fixed schedule.

The annual refresh is shorter than the first appointment and uses the same numbing protocol, so most clients find it easier. What it costs is set out in our guide to microblading touch up cost in Los Angeles.

The microblading industry has exploded over the recent years, and although this is great for the industry, it came with lots of inexperienced and unlicensed microblading artists starting to train beginners.

By far the best way to train is to take our courses in person with our reputable and experienced artists and instructors. For those who are not able to travel to Los Angeles or maybe prefer to work at their own pace, we designed and launched our online microblading training.

Microblading is a skill that is learned through practice and repetition. It is just like any other skill, the more you practice, the better you get. With our online class, we provide all our students with a kit full of all the supplies they will need to work on their first clients as well as practice material to perfect their technique. It also comes with many detailed videos of each step of the microblading process as well as full-length live procedure videos.

You will be able to absorb all the knowledge of our top artists and instructors who perform microblading on a daily basis. Our online class instructors see about 4-6 clients every single day, so they have a lot of key information to share. In our online course, you will be able to attain far more knowledge than any form of training with an inexperienced artist.

What Is Included In The Online Microblading Training?

We compiled all the lessons from our in-person training course and filmed them so you can learn microblading anywhere, anytime. We also included detailed explanations of each step of the microblading process.

You will also receive a kit with the supplies you will need to practice with as well as use on clients! This kit includes microblades, pigment, mapping material, and fake skin.

You will have access to the online course for up to 1 year so you can work at your own pace or refresh your skills at any time.

Will I Be In Contact With An Instructor Once The Course Is Completed?

Yes, you will be in direct contact with our elite instructors weekly as well as upon completion. This is beneficial if you have any questions during or after your training.

Training that is actually in the room

Online theory has its place, but nobody learns depth and pressure from a video. Our microblading certification course is taught in person at the training center in West Los Angeles with live models and a kit included. You can see what the training costs before you commit, and read what California requires in our guide to microblading license requirements.
