Scalp Esthetica is proud to announce that
Scalp Micropigmentation has finally arrived in Toronto, Canada.
What
is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation has been around
since the 90s, however, has only finally gained recognition in the last few
years. Scalp Micropigmentation goes by
many names, including: SMP, Medical Hairline Tattoo, Scalp Tattoo, Medical
Hairline Restoration, and Hair Micropigmentation Treatment.
Regardless of the name, the treatment is
the same. Scalp Micropigmentation
consists of using a fine tattoo needle that is the same shape and size as a
hair follicle to implant pigment into the scalp. The scalp contains approximately 2000 hair
follicles per square inch, and thus, the SMP Artist must tattoo thousands of
microdots into the scalp, which gives the appearance of a freshly shaved head
of hair, or a Buzzcut. The results look
very natural, and it is a much safer and better option that hair
transplantation, hair plugs, toupee or wigs.
Leaving no scarring and healing within days, not months or years.
Why
would I want Scalp Micropigmentation?
The effects of balding in both sexes, Male
and Female, can have devastating effects on one’s self-esteem, self-confidence,
sexuality and body image. Many clients
feel embarrassed about having thinning hair, bald spots or other forms of
baldness and have sought out many “cures” for baldness, including: Hair growth
serums, Hair Transplants, Hair growth shampoos and conditioners, Hair plugs,
etc, only to be very disappointed with the results or lack thereof.
At Scalp Esthetica, we feel that you should
embrace your baldness, but not have to live with it. By having an SMP or Scalp Micropigmentation
Treatment, you can easily have the look of a freshly shaved head or a buzzcut,
rather than looking completely or partially bald. The appearance of this look is Bold,
confident and daring. SMP has shown to
increase one’s confidence and self-esteem and give them a new outlook on life.
What
about Men and Women with Thinning Hair?
SMP or Scalp Micropigmentation works for
both Men and Women of any age, skin type and skin color, and works at any stage
of baldness. Many Men and Women come into
the office with thinning hair in the top or crown area of the scalp. SMP works to create the appearance of density
in the scalp by camouflaging the scalp with thousands of microdots. This effect creates hair density and
fullness, giving the appearance of a full head of hair.
What
about Scalp Scars?
SMP can be used to cover scars on the scalp
using the technique described above. SMP
is a great adjunct treatment to hair transplant scarring, and to help add
density to an area that may have scarred on the scalp from the hair transplant
treatment. Whether you are bald, balding
or have scars from medical treatments, SMP can help.
Does
SMP treatment hurt?
The needles and technique used in SMP are
not the same as having a body tattoo treatment using ink. Tattoo artist use ink, rather than pigment,
and they go much deeper into the dermis to implant ink, which of course, causes
more pain. Most clients describe having
an SMP treatment as having multiple mosquito bites. Scalp Esthetica uses medical grade numbing
cream to numb the scalp as much as possible, to reduce pain and irritation from
the treatment.
How
much does a Scalp Micropigmentation Treatment Cost?
Prices for an SMP treatment vary depending
on the amount of work that needs to be done based on the degree of
baldness. Prices can range from $750 to
cover a client, male or female, with thinning hair to $5000 for a full head of
hair restoration. It is best to go into
the office where you plan to have the treatment to meet with your SMP
technician and to have a consultation.
Consultations are usually free, but are limited to time. Go into the consultation prepared with some
questions about the artist and about the treatment. Based on the consultation, the SMP technician
will be able to give you an accurate quote on the procedure, and should be able
to answer any and all of your questions.
