So, you might have heard about microblading for fuller eyebrows, but did you know you can do the same thing to your scalp too?

Well, yes you can!

The procedure is called scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) and it lets you walk down the roads with fuller hair and amazing confidence levels. Unlike PRP therapy in Toronto, SMP treatments are performed using an electric tattoo device. Just like microblading, they create an illusion of fuller hair, the only difference lies in the methods of implanting pigment. It is practiced with a manual blade because more power is needed to penetrate the skin on the scalp since it is thicker.

What is scalp micropigmentation treatment?

Scalp micro pigmentation, popularly known as the SMP treatment, is a non-invasive treatment that uses micro-needles to deposit some pigment into the scalp. The result, it creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles that help reverse hair loss, thickens, and restore the look of fuller hair. If you think you’re losing hair too quickly, or your hairline is receding, or you’re turning to be completely bald, SMP treatment can be your hair saver.

Scalp micro pigmentation is an extremely intricate process, but because it a form of tattooing, you’ll leave the clinic with guaranteed and permanent results. The treatment is administered softly and the results are unbelievably natural.

However, the quality of treatment depends on two things:

  • The cosmetic clinic or the doctor should use correct machines, micro-needles, and pigments
  • You need to pick the most skilled and experienced practitioners for the job.

How does SMP work and who can benefit from the treatment?

SMP in Toronto isn’t about creating hair-like lines as it is done in microblading your eyebrows, it involves using tiny, layered dots in different hues of black to replicate the look of a shadow-like appearance on your scalp. This style is also called pointillism and creates a natural-looking depth and fuller hair.

When choosing a doctor for the treatment, ask them if they have practiced SMP treatment before and if they can provide you with some references and ‘before and after’ photos. A skilled practitioner will ensure that the dots look like a natural hair follicle and blend in effortlessly with your skin complexion.

The process can be used by people experiencing severe hair loss. This includes people suffering from:

  • cancer
  • alopecia
  • thinning hair
  • male and female pattern baldness

How is the procedure done?

Before the treatment begins, a topical numbing agent is applied on your scalp to avoid any discomfort. Also, post the treatment, you won’t be able to wet your hair, wash them, or do anything that involves water touching your scalp. Remember, the less sun exposure on your treated area, the better will be the retention power of the treatment.

How much does the procedure cost?

Unlike a PRP in Toronto treatment, the price of SMP varies between $400-$1000 depending on your doctor and the baldness on your head. Micropigmentation is a semi-permanent procedure; however, it can last for up to 8 years. Although the pigmentation of the treated area will fade over time since your skin will exfoliate itself.
