Scalp micropigmentation — what to ask.

Micropigmentation deposits pigment under the upper layers of the skin with a fine needle. On the scalp (SMP) the dots of pigment look like short hair.

Six questions to ask before you book

  1. 01

    Could I see healed results — months on, not just freshly done?

  2. 02

    Which pigments do you use, and do you patch test first?

  3. 03

    How many sessions would I need, and what does a top-up cost later?

  4. 04

    Could you tell me who would treat me, and are they on the GMC, NMC or GDC register?

  5. 05

    Could you send me the price before I book, including any consultation fee?

  6. 06

    What does the first consultation involve, and is there a fee?
