Scalp Micropigmentation is commonly known as a hair or scalp tattoo. Scalp Micropigmentation (Scalp Tattoo) is a non-invasive treatment that uses detailed micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. The result creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles or short hair stubble. If you are starting to thin, recede, or completely bald, we can give you the look of a short buzz cut.

There are three primary distinctions between Scalp Micropigmentation and Tattooing:

1. We deposit pigment into the dermis at a shallower depth than tattoos, only about 1mm.
2. We are only making small micro dots using the pointillism technique, not shading or drawing lines.
3. We only use Color Theory to match your hair color. As a result, when it heals, it will not break down into different colors or appear overly saturated.

Permanent cosmetics, sometimes known as permanent makeup, include scalp micropigmentation. This procedure normally lasts 4-6 years and is frequently referred to as a cosmetic hair or scalp tattoo. After that, a client could notice a little fading, in which case they might return for a fast touch-up. Although this cosmetic solution won’t wash off, it can be adjusted over time. We always advise scheduling a consultation with Nico, a skilled professional practitioner, to go over your treatment options.

If you are unsure about what style or type of hairline will suit you, your treatment specialist will be happy to advise you. Nico can advise you based on their artistic knowledge of how to match a hairline to a person’s head shape and age. You can also tweak and adjust the hairline during your sessions to achieve the best possible result.

Yes! To reduce scar visibility, we use our specialized scalp micropigmentation technique to deposit color-matched pigment into the scar.

Yes! Transplant and surgical scars can be greatly improved in concealment by replicating tiny hair follicles within the scarring and blending the color around the scarring area.

Scalp micropigmentation is used to fill up thinning areas with density. We have the ability to add thickness to a variety of places, including the crown and hair separating. We advise keeping your hair short if you’re utilizing scalp micropigmentation to restore your hairline for a more well-balanced appearance.

Some clients can keep their hair longer depending on the pattern and extent of their thinning hair. Scalp pigmentation can help thicken areas, allowing less of the scalp to show through. However, if the client has a strong pattern of hair loss or simply does not have a lot of hair density left, it is recommended that they crop it shorter.

Absolutely! The final result of Scalp Micropigmentation performed by a trained professional, such as Nico’s SMP and Hair Studio, is completely undetectable. You will appear to have a natural full head of hair.

Indeed, scalp micropigmentation is still beneficial for people with gray hair. First, the majority of clients are advised to have their hair trimmed short or buzzed. Gray hair does not seem gray when this is done since the hair root itself is darker. When hair grows longer, gray only becomes visible. The second method involves the use of a gray-scale pigment that can be shaded to match lighter hair tones. Just to mix in with the existing gray hairs, we merely generate a lighter dilution.

Yes! We can adapt the color of our pigment to a variety of skin tones. Scalp micropigmentation can benefit people of all races, including Caucasians, African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Pacific Islanders, among many others.

No, a scalp micropigmentation procedure won’t make your hair grow again. Yet, the SMP procedure will give you the appearance of thicker, denser hair or a buzzcut. If you decide on the latter, we advise maintaining your hair shorter to achieve the most natural result.

The Scalp Micropigmentation treatment typically requires 2-4 sessions to complete, with each session lasting 2-4 hours, depending on your degree of hair loss. These treatments are usually spaced about 10-20 days (2 weeks) apart.
