Hi, I'm Luis, Owner/Operator of Scalps by Luey. A few years ago, I struggled with hair loss, which took a toll on my confidence. After exploring various options, I discovered Scalp Micropigmentation. Seeing the immediate and impactful results was incredible, it boosted my confidence and changed how I felt about myself.
This experience inspired me to learn everything there is about SMP, and as time went by it ignited a passion within me to help others experience this transformation. Today, my business is all about giving people back their confidence with high quality SMP.
I was once in your position, contemplating Scalp Micropigmentation, and my only regret is that I didn't get it done sooner!

My approach goes beyond just operating a tattoo machine, it reflects the advanced techniques and high standards I've learned throughout this time.

Scalp Micropigmentation provides significant advantages, such as enhancing your confidence, achieving a more youthful look, and generally improving both your appearance and self-esteem.
Scalp Micropigmentation is for men and women experiencing hair loss, including those with male or female pattern baldness, thinning hair, or alopecia. It’s also effective for concealing scars from previous hair transplants or injuries. Additionally, it can be a great option for those who prefer a shaved head look or want to add density to a short hairstyle.
Scalp Micropigmentation typically requires 2 to 4 sessions. The exact number depends on factors like the size of the treatment area, the level of coverage needed, and individual healing.
SMP procedures typically last 2 to 4 hours per session. The total duration depends on the size of the treatment area and the complexity of the design. Each session is followed by a healing period of 10 to 14 days before the next session.
Scalp Micropigmentation typically lasts between 4 and 8 years. Its duration depends on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, and proper aftercare. Touch-ups can help prolong its appearance and maintain the desired look.
Scalp Micropigmentation can cause some discomfort, but it's generally described as mild to moderate. The level of pain is nowhere near as a traditional tattoo. I would describe the pain level at about 2-3 out of 10, depending on the area of the scalp we are working on, some areas are more sensitive than others.
Scalp Micropigmentation ink is different from traditional tattoo ink. It is specially designed for scalp use, with pigments that are finer and formulated to stay closer to the surface of the skin. The Pigments we use are tailored to match the natural colour and density of hair, providing a more realistic look.
The needles used in Scalp Micropigmentation are similar to those used in tattooing but are typically finer and designed specifically for the procedure. SMP needles are often finer and used at a shallower depth to create delicate, precise dots that mimic hair follicles. This helps achieve a natural look while minimizing discomfort and ensuring the pigment remains close to the surface of the skin.
When performed by a skilled practitioner, Scalp Micropigmentation is designed to be highly realistic and generally not detectable as a cosmetic procedure. The results closely mimic natural hair follicles, blending seamlessly with existing hair or the scalp. However, detection can occur if the technique is poorly executed or if the pigment colour and density do not match the natural hair, but this is uncommon with experienced practitioners.
No, Scalp Micropigmentation does not grow hair back. It is a cosmetic tattoo procedure designed to create the appearance of fuller hair or a shaved head look by tattooing tiny pigments onto the scalp. SMP helps camouflage hair loss but does not stimulate hair growth or address the underlying causes of hair loss.
You usually don't need to take time off work after Scalp Micropigmentation. Many people resume normal activities the next day, although you might want to avoid activities that could irritate the scalp, like heavy exercise or sweating, for a few days.
