SMP Correction

Repairing A Bad SMP Procedure

Do not trust just anyone with your head!

We specialize in Scalp Micropigmentation, with some of the most talented and experienced SMP techs in the world on our team. This is an art that takes time, precision, and a deep desire to help others in order to be done properly. Unfortunately, over the last few of years, there's been a big increase in the number of poorly trained cosmetic/permanent makeup artists, tattooists and even hair transplant surgeons trying to get into this field. Without the proper training or experience, they’re basically using clients as crash test dummies and causing horrific results. This will be on your head permanently so choose your SMP company and technician wisely!

Bad procedures

Experience, proper training, knowledge, and the tools at your disposal are all critical factors in this business. Inexperienced providers typically make a range of different mistakes during a procedure, but there are some serious errors that keep turning up again and again. The wrong pigments, applied to the scalp at the wrong penetration depth, with the wrong equipment used, and with technicians who haven’t been trained properly. This is a recipe for disaster.

These technicians may have tattooing or permanent makeup experience, but they have 0 experience in preforming proper SMP procedures. They may use tattoo ink, with tattoo needles or permanent makeup pigments. This is NOT the proper way to perform an SMP procedure. These pigments are made up of many constituent colors including blue, green and purple. Over a three week period, your head will start to change color as it softens, it'll look like you have a blue or green head.

Another major issue is dot size. By depositing the ink too deeply, as almost all inexperienced technicians do, you will end up with huge dots all over your head (“blowouts”) or smeared permanent makeup as one solid ink blot on your scalp. Some of these technicians are using traditional tattoo guns/needles, and this is a big No No. Others just don't have the proper experience or training. It’s sad how many people walk into our offices with blue polka-dotted heads. Please be diligent in your research and who you choose to work on your scalp.
