Cheap SMP costs more later
I see it every month. Someone pays a few hundred bucks somewhere, the dots blur or turn blue, and now they need it corrected. Fixing bad SMP takes longer than doing it right the first time. Ask whoever you go to how many heads they've done and look at healed work, not just fresh photos.
Questions people ask me
How much does SMP cost?
Most full treatments land between $2,000 and $3,500. Smaller areas cost less, bigger areas cost more. I give you an exact price at your free consult.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. PayPal Credit and Cherry. You can apply for Cherry online before your consult at pay.withcherry.com/delawarescalpmicropigmentation.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 3 to 4 sessions, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart. The whole thing takes about 5 to 8 weeks.
How long is each session?
About 2 to 4 hours, depending on the area.
Does it hurt?
Everyone's different, but most people say it's more annoying than painful.
Is it permanent?
It's considered permanent but it fades some over time. Plan on a touch-up every 2 to 5 years. A touch-up on the same area runs about 25% of the original price.
Do I have to shave my head?
Not always. If you're going for a buzz cut look, yes. If you're adding density to thinning hair, you can keep your hair longer.
Can I go back to work after?
Same day. Just avoid heavy sweating and getting your scalp wet for 3 to 4 days.
Will people know?
Done right, no. It looks like a fresh buzz or like your hair is thicker than it is.
Is SMP the same as a hair transplant?
No. A transplant moves real hair around and you hope it grows. SMP is pigment, so you see the result right away. A lot of my clients have done both.
Can you fix SMP from another shop?
A lot of the time, yes, without laser. Send me clear photos and I'll tell you what's realistic.
Can I get SMP if my hair is still shedding?
If you're shedding a lot right now, from stress, weight loss, a new medication or anything else, see your doctor first and let it settle. SMP covers how your hair looks. It doesn't stop shedding. Once things are stable, we can talk.
Should I get SMP or a hair transplant?
Depends on you. A transplant moves real hair and needs donor hair to work with. SMP doesn't, and you see the result right away. Plenty of my clients have done both, with SMP filling in what the transplant couldn't.
Can I just send photos first?
Yes. DM me on Instagram at @delaware_smp with photos of the front, top and sides and tell me what's going on.
Where are you located?
My studio is at 2601 Annand Drive, Unit 16, Wilmington, DE 19808. From Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) it is about 31 miles: I-95 South to Exit 5A-B, DE-141 North, then Kirkwood Highway to Annand Drive. The Philadelphia address on this site is a mailing address only.
