How realistic is scalp micropigmentation?

Here at Ink on Hair, we specialise in providing scalp micropigmentation (SMP) treatment, which refers to a type of medical hair tattoo. It aims to provide a solution to those suffering from hair loss by imitating the appearance of hair follicles. The treatment can be applied anywhere on the scalp, whether your hair is thinning or you are completely bald.

Set Your Expectations

Whilst SMP won’t give you the long locks of Samson or Rapunzel, SMP can offer a realistic looking head of hair. The goal of SMP is to offer a shaved buzz-cut look, so it will be virtually impossible to tell the difference between the pigmentation dots used in SMP and real hair follicles. Even those who know you before your treatment are sure to be pleasantly surprised at your new do.

What can I expect from a consultation?

As part of the SMP process, we offer a free consultation for all who are interested in finding out whether the treatment is right for them. Taking our time with you so that you are fully informed before making any decisions, we will discuss your scalp appearance expectations and go through the medical questionnaire, as well as answering any questions you may have, to make sure we can go ahead with the SMP treatment, so we can be sure that it is a good fit for you.

Getting the Hairline Right

One of the most important parts of obtaining a realistic scalp micropigmentation is the hairline. This is why we always start the hairline further back on the scalp during the first session, as it is possible to add more during the additional sessions, but it is not possible to remove the pigmentation once implemented. We can base the hairline on old photographs in order to restore it to the position that is most ‘you’.

The Price of Scalp Micropigmentation

Whilst we aim to keep our prices as affordable as possible, it is also worth remembering that scalp micropigmentation requires a highly skilled professional to carry it out, and that it is a permanent treatment. The price can vary depending on your individual needs, but you can expect to pay between around £1300-£1800 if you are looking to get SMP treatment for your whole head. On the other hand, to reconstruct your hairline in anyway, you can expect to pay around £900, and scar camouflage can be done for between £700-900. To gain a more accurate quotation, you can send us photographs, or otherwise arrange an appointment to see us in person.
