About Us Elegant SMP | Buffalo, NY

What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical, life-changing hair loss treatment that provides natural-looking and long-lasting results. It involves replicating the natural appearance of hair follicles by gently injecting pigment into the scalp. The pigments used in SMP are specifically formulated for the scalp and are designed to match your skin tone and natural hair color.

Elegant SMP specializes in the most advanced SMP technique called the “faded hairline.” This technique involves creating a soft and natural-looking hairline that mimics the appearance of a buzz cut, resulting in a seamless, undetectable, and natural look.

How Does Scalp Micropigmentation Work?

Scalp micropigmentation works by depositing tiny impressions of pigment onto the scalp using a specialized machine equipped with a super-fine needle. These microscopic dots replicate the natural appearance of hair follicles, creating the illusion of a closely-shaved buzz cut or increased hair density.

During an SMP session at Elegant SMP, our skilled practitioners work with you to design a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan includes determining the appropriate pigment shade, hairline design, and density of the scalp dots. Your practitioner will also consider your face shape and hairline to create the most natural-looking and flattering result. Did you know there’s a cultural significance to your hairline?

The duration of a scalp micropigmentation session typically ranges from three to five hours, depending on the extent of hair loss and the desired result. Most individuals require no more than four sessions to achieve the desired results.

Who Can Benefit from Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp micropigmentation is a versatile treatment that can benefit individuals facing different hair-related challenges. It’s suitable for both men and women of all ages and is an ideal solution for those with:

  • Male and Female Pattern Baldness: Individuals experiencing pattern baldness can achieve a youthful and stylish appearance with SMP.
  • Alopecia Patients: Those with alopecia, commonly known as patch baldness, can achieve a realistic and natural-looking hairline through SMP.
  • Scars on the Scalp: If you have visible scars on your scalp, SMP can camouflage them, creating an optical illusion that renders the scar invisible to the naked eye, which can significantly impact one’s emotional well-being and self-esteem.
  • Individuals with Diffuse Thinning: SMP can create the appearance of increased density, providing a fuller and thicker hair appearance for individuals with diffuse thinning.

Aftercare and Longevity

Aftercare is crucial to ensure the longevity of scalp micropigmentation results. At Elegant SMP, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions, including avoiding direct sunlight, swimming, and excessive sweating for at least four days post-treatment. We also offer top-ups (aka touchups) as necessary to maintain the vibrancy of your scalp micropigmentation treatment. To download our comprehensive guide & pricing brochure, give us your name, email, and number. Once the SMP treatment is completed and proper aftercare routines are followed, you can expect to enjoy a maintenance-free period of up to three to five years. Over time, the pigments may fade gradually, but with a short 1 session top-up procedure, your scalp micropigmentation can be restored to its original look.

At Elegant SMP, our skilled practitioners use advanced techniques to replicate the natural appearance of hair follicles and create a seamless, undetectable, and natural look.

Elegant SMP is the place to get your scalp micropigmentation if you are interested in quality technique. Not all SMP is the same and your practitioner's training really does matter. For me, understanding how my artist could achieve an authentic looking hairline was very important, and very few SMP artists have the training to achieve that. Tommy at Elegant SMP is a true professional who understands how to get a natural looking result that is difficult to replicate - which is a true testament to his training. My SMP results exceeded my expectations and I would recommend Elegant SMP to anyone who is interested in getting the highest quality work the first time, or repairing SMP work that missed the mark.
