SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION TATTOO GRIMSBY

Here’s what we consider when creating your SMP quote:

• Area treated: This can range from a small scar or sparse patch to full scalp coverage.
• Extent of hair loss: Mild thinning looks different than complete baldness.
• Number of sessions: Typical two to three sessions are needed to achieve a full coverage look.
• Level of customization: Softer, feathered hairlines typically requested by our female clients, while our male clients tend to opt for a different approach with a sharper, more defined hairline and overall looks.

Pricing at SKN Deep ranges from $500 to $1700, with smaller scar work costing less. We will confirm your exact price during your consultation so there are no surprises and all your questions are answered before moving forward. 

(If you’re comparing options, we can also review how SMP stacks up against transplants or daily products in terms of cost and longevity.)

It usually takes two to three sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to build up the pigment in layers and create a soft, natural blend.

• First session: Lays the foundation and outlines your hairline.
• Second session: Adds depth and density for natural blending.
• Third session (if needed): Fine‑tunes details or addresses larger coverage areas.

Clients with full alopecia may need more, while scar camouflage can require fewer. Your specialist will map this out during your consultation so expectations are clear.

A session usually takes about two to four hours.

However, the time can vary based on how much of your head is getting the treatment and how detailed you want it.

You might need a few sessions to get things just right, and your specialist will make a plan that suits your needs and style during your consultation.

Scalp micropigmentation tattos typically lasts three to five years before a refresh is needed. With good aftercare and sun protection, results can last even longer.

What you’ll notice over time:

Gradual fade: Pigments will lighten slowly and evenly for a natural look without harsh lines.

Simple refresh sessions: A single touch‑up restores the definition without starting over.

Longevity factors: Sun exposure, skin type, and lifestyle habits all play a role.

Built‑in flexibility: A soft fade lets you adjust your hairline or density if your style changes.

Yes. Scalp micropigmentation tattoos naturally softens over time, and a refresh keeps it looking sharp and defined.

Touch‑ups can be scheduled every three to five years, depending on factors like sun exposure and lifestyle.

The refresh is shorter and less costly than your first treatment, and some choose to come in sooner if they want to adjust their hairline or add extra density.

Our scalp micropigmentation tattoo technique is safe for every skin tone and nearly all skin types.

We use pigments made specifically for the scalp that do not migrate or turn blue or green as they fade.

• Pigments: We use colors made specifically for the scalp, so they look natural and fade evenly over time.

• Technique: The pigment is placed very close to the surface of the skin with a micro needle, which keeps it safe and adds to the hyper realistic effect.

• Hygiene: Everything we use for a cosmetic tattoo procedure of any kind is only used once. To ensure your safety, we use disposable supplies and follow strict sanitation guidelines to keep our work space sterile and safe.

If you have conditions like psoriasis, eczema, or very sensitive skin, we review them during your consultation to ensure SMP is safe for you and to tailor our aftercare recommendations.

We know pain is one of the first things people worry about, especially if this is your first time with any cosmetic tattooing.

Here’s what it really feels like:

• How it feels: More like light scratching or tapping than a deep tattoo.
• Pain level: On average, people describe it as a two or three out of ten (mild and manageable).
• Why it’s easier than a tattoo: SMP sits closer to the surface of the skin and uses ultra‑fine needles for a hyper realistic result.
• How we keep you comfortable: We apply numbing, work in small sections, and take breaks anytime you need.

The feedback we hear most? The procedure felt easier than expected, and that staying still was the real challenge.

Shaving your head isn't a mandatory, however there are clients that do it to get the best results.

It helps the pigments mix smoothly with your current hair, making it look extra natural.

Your specialist will chat with you about other choices based on what you like and what works for you!

Scalp micropigmentation works for almost anyone who wants the look of fuller hair or a more defined hairline, no matter what’s causing the hair loss. We work with men and women who are experiencing hair loss for a multitude of reasons. 

Everything we do is fully customized to your hair type, colour and skin tone.

For someone with alopecia, we can camouflage sparse patches or complete hair loss so it looks smooth and natural. 

When there’s thinning at the crown or along the hairline, we add density to make hair look thicker without powders or fibers.

Those dealing with complete baldness can get the look of a clean buzz‑cut style.

We also help with transplant or injury scars, blending them seamlessly into surrounding hair.

And for women experiencing post-partum hair loss, thinning or shedding due to illness or stress we can fill in part lines or sparse areas without shaving.

If you’re unsure whether SMP is right for you, we offer free consultations where we review your hair loss pattern, explain your options, and map out what your results could look like.

Absolutely. One of the best parts about this treatment is that you can resume most activities and go back to work right away without anyone noticing! 

The only thing you’ll notice is some mild redness on your scalp for about a day or two, almost like a light sunburn. That fades quickly, and you’ll likely feel comfortable being out in public within 24 to 48 hours.

We’ll go over our recommended aftercare steps with you to ensure a safe and smooth healing process. They are easy to follow steps like avoiding heavy sweating, swimming, or direct sun exposure for a few days. Just so we keep the retention of your tattoo. Other than that, there’s no downtime and you can go about your day as normal.
