The perfect solution for men who shave their heads but want to give the appearance that shaving is a style choice instead of a response to thinning hair is micropigmentation. This method is a non-permanent hair tattoo and is recommended for covering scars as well as filling thinning hair density. The tattooed pigment creates the illusion of a full head of follicles and also saves time by eliminating the need to shave daily.
Micropigmentation can also be used for men and women in the early stages of thinning. Placing pigment between the existing hair decreases the contrast between the hair and scalp thereby giving a fuller and denser appearance.

In NYC, full scalp micropigmentation treatments generally run from $1,800 to $5,600, influenced by the treated area's size, session count (often 2-3), and the provider's reputation—such as premium clinics charging around $4,700 for comprehensive coverage. Smaller touch-ups or partial areas might start as low as $400-$1,200 per session at select spots. Always get a personalized quote during a consult, as prices can shift based on individual needs.
Scalp micropigmentation counts as permanent makeup or a cosmetic scalp tattoo, delivering results that endure 4-6 years. Fading may occur afterward, but a simple touch-up session can refresh the appearance.
Plan for 2-4 sessions, typically scheduled 10-30 days apart, based on the extent of hair loss, presence of scarring, desired density, and personal objectives.
Each session generally runs 2-4 hours, varying with the degree of hair loss, custom hairline shaping, and individual treatment aims.
As a type of permanent makeup or cosmetic scalp tattoo, SMP effects usually hold up for 4-6 years. Slight fading might follow, easily fixed with a fast refresh session.
High-quality SMP mimics actual hair follicles, blending flawlessly with your existing ones to create a convincing illusion of a fuller head of hair.
SMP is non-invasive with zero downtime, so most people skip extended breaks from work, school, or daily activities. Mild scalp redness might linger 2-3 days after, but it's usually minimal.
