What You Need to Know Before Choosing a Hair Loss Solution
Hair Loss: The Reality of Aging Among Men
According to the American Hairloss Association, two-thirds of American men will experience noticeable hair loss by age 35. Plus, 85% of men will have significantly thinning hair by age 50.
When hair loss strikes, many men will scramble for solutions. Some found success in slowing the issue with hair loss natural remedies to surgical surgery that can cost thousands. But for those looking for a non-invasive, low-maintenance, and natural looking solution, there’s Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP).
What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation, often called SMP, is a non-surgical hair loss solution procedure that uses micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp, creating the apparance of hair follicles. Think of it as hyper-realistic hair tattooing, designed to give the illusion of a full head of hair or filling in areas for those with thinning of hair. Unlike a hair transplant, SMP doe not move hair follicles. It creates a visual simulation of hair, custom-tailored to your hairline, skin tone, and desired density.
SMP vs Hair Transplants Costs - What’s the Difference?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) average cost is $2,000 - $5,000+ USD with no downtime and minimal risk factor. Hair Transplant Surgery average cost $4,000 - $15,000+ USD with 7-14 days downtime and higher risk (surgical) factor.
SMP is a great in-between solution for someone seeking a long-term, but not permanent, solution to hair loss. Scalp Micropigmentation is more affordable, less invasive, and requires no recovery time, making it the go-to solution for men seeking reliable results without the high medical risks of surgery.
Why the Price Range?
The cost of Scalp Micropigmentation procedures ranges because everyone’s procedure is unique. Each patient comes in at a different starting point depending on their hair loss, hair density, and hairline. Hairlines are custom-designed for each person.
At Scalp Micro SD, every treatment is customized. The cost of SMP varies depending on:
The level of hair loss (Norwood Scale)
Treating the scalp, crown, or beard
Scar camouflage or density enhancement is needed
