What to Ask During Your SMP Consultation
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a permanent procedure that not everyone can perform, so finding the right provider can be stressful. If you need help with what questions to ask or what to look for when searching, you have come to the right place! Start with these eight questions to get started.
“What is scalp micropigmentation?”
If you made a scalp micropigmentation consultation appointment, you already have an idea of what you’re getting into, but don’t hesitate to ask for an in-depth explanation! Asking questions will help you understand the basics of the procedure and be more comfortable with the experience. Qualified and experienced professionals will have no problem explaining how it works, what SMP can do, and the results you can expect.
“Can you show me your portfolio?”
An excellent portfolio of previous SMP clients is a great indicator of their experience and credibility. Their portfolio should include before and after photos of varying ethnicities, hair colors, and lengths from different angles. Seeing their portfolio will give you a better idea of what results to expect and allow you to see if they work well with your skin tone and hair color.
“Are there any risks or side effects?”
Like many cosmetic procedures, SMP has potential risks and side effects. Ask about these during your consultation to fully understand and avoid these issues. Since scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive procedure, there are very few risks. Everyone is different and experiences the procedure differently, so what your friend has experienced may not apply to you. Therefore, ensure that you ask about potential risks for your specific treatment.
“How much time will it take to complete treatment?”
Learn how long the procedure will take and how many sessions are required. With this information, you can plan your schedule accordingly. Depending on the stage of hair loss, each client can expect anywhere between two and four sessions. Again, everyone is different, so be sure to ask the practitioner during your consultation.
“How do you choose the correct pigment?”
Experienced practitioners have been doing it long enough to know how to properly select the correct shade to match your natural hair and skin tone. Ask about their process to find the pigment that is suitable for you! Many practitioners base their choices on your hair color before hair loss, eyebrow color, the color of the hair you have left, and your skin tone.
“How much is the procedure?”
Cost can vary depending on the extent of your hair loss and the practitioner’s experience. Pricing is discussed during your consultation, and any potential additional fees are included. At SMP INK , we’re transparent about pricing and provide a personalized quote during your FREE consultation!
“How can I prepare for the procedure?”
Ask us about the steps you need to take before your appointment. Some preparations may include avoiding certain medications or products when preparing your scalp for treatment. We can give you the tools and guidance to ensure your first “scalp tattoo” appointment goes well!
“How long do results last?”
Scalp micropigmentation results are permanent. After treatment, you should expect the color to last many years. Over a longer period, one may notice a gradual fading of treatment. When this occurs, you can undergo a touch-up session to restore your treatment. Protecting your scalp post-treatment is essential to keep your treatment from fading!
