Does SMP require touch ups?

Question

Years down the road will I require touch ups to maintain a fresh look?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Scalp Micro Pigmentation is similar to a tattoo.  Like a tattoo SMP will fade over time.  You may need a touch up years down the line.  The interval between the touch up is dependent on the quality of the SMP pigment, the quality of work performed, and your exposure to UV light (sun).A bad Scalp MicroPigmentation SMP can make you look like Lego Man or helmet head.  Scalp Micro Pigmentation is a combination of art work and technical skill.  Not everybody doing SMP can pull off a realistic look.Just like not everybody doing FUE or hair transplant surgery can pull off a realistic look (good results).A bad SMP or FUE or hair transplant surgery is like herpes.  You'll carry it for life.

Yes, Scalp Micropigmentation does require touch-ups in some people, sometimes a few weeks or months after the process is complete. In our practice, we put a complete package together to address touch-ups. See our website below
