The first question any given technician is faced with when meeting a future client… how long does Scalp Micropigmentation take? And it’s a relatively complex one to answer. There is no written rule that SMP treatments, from start to finish, will take a certain number of hours, days or weeks. It depends on a multitude of different factors but let’s take a look at what’s involved. 

• A regular Scalp Micropigmentation treatment session will last anything from 2 to 5 hours from start to finish. This is a timescale that really does vary. Some clients have a skin type that’s much more complex to work alongside, others may be super simple and quick.
• A minimum treatment number should be three visits. Unless, of course, you’ve already received prior SMP treatment and are just after a top-up owing to fading due to time which has passed.
• Maximum numbers are more variable, depending on the reasons you’ve chosen Scalp Micropigmentation treatment. An average of 3 with a 4th for a final “polish off the edges stage” is a good rule of thumb to work to.
• Aftercare routines are very important as they ensure the longevity of your SMP treatment. It’s a good idea to introduce these into your schedule and think of them as part of the treatment plan.
• Finally, the all-important point which will determine your length of time for SMP treatment is why you are looking to receive it in the first place. Scare concealment is way more complex than working on a patient for diffuse thinning. Pattern baldness is different from alopecia as men’s hair problems are not the same as female hair loss.
