Everything you need to know about our SMP treatments, procedure steps, safety, and aftercare at LPSMP Studio in Sydney.
Scalp Micropigmentation is an advanced, non-surgical cosmetic treatment that deposits organic, specialized pigments into the upper layer of your scalp. Using sterile micro-needles, we replicate real hair follicles to create the appearance of a clean shaved buzz cut or add density beneath thinning hair.
Unlike traditional body tattoos, SMP uses specialized, carbon-based pigments formulated strictly for the scalp that do not bleed or turn blue or green over time. Furthermore, the micro-needles are significantly finer and only reach the shallow epidermal layer rather than the deeper dermis.
SMP is considered semi-permanent and typically lasts between 3 to 6 years before needing a light refresh. Factors like sun exposure, skin type, and lifestyle affect longevity. A simple touch-up session restores the original depth and sharpness.
Not when done with precision. At LPSMP Studio, Luca custom-blends pigments to match your exact natural hair shade and maps an age-appropriate hairline tailored to your facial structure, ensuring your results are undetectable even at close distance.
A complete treatment generally requires 2 to 3 sessions. Each session is spaced roughly 10 to 14 days apart to allow the pigment to settle and enable us to build realistic density and depth gradually.
There is virtually zero downtime. You may experience slight redness across the scalp for 24 to 48 hours, but most clients return to work and light daily activities the next day.
For the first 4 to 5 days after each session, you must avoid getting your scalp wet, excessive sweating, working out, and direct sunlight. Luca will provide you with a comprehensive, easy-to-follow aftercare guide following your session.
Depending on the treatment area (e.g., hairline restoration, crown density, or full scalp coverage), sessions usually last between 2 to 4 hours.
Discomfort is minimal and far more tolerable than a traditional body tattoo. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or mild vibration, rating it around 2 to 3 out of 10 on the discomfort scale.
No. Micro-pigments are deposited in the upper epidermal layer, safely above your hair follicles residing deeper in the dermis. SMP will not damage existing hair growth or prevent natural hair from growing.
Yes. SMP is highly effective for women experiencing diffuse hair thinning, widening part lines, or hormonal hair loss. We shade the scalp between strands to reduce contrast and create the visual illusion of thicker, fuller hair.
Absolutely. We specialize in scar camouflage for both FUT (strip) and FUE (punch) hair transplant scars, as well as accidental scalp trauma scars, blending them into surrounding hair.
The investment typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000, depending on your specific Norwood hair loss stage, case complexity, and whether you require crown density, full hairline restoration, or scar camouflage. We provide transparent, fixed quotes during your initial consultation with zero hidden costs.
