scalp micropigmentation
for LONG HAIR

Long hair treatments can be time consuming, it is essential to work through the hair patiently in sections. At Creative Scalps, our hairdressing background gives us the necessary experience to achieve fantastic results with SMP. Suffering from thinning hair is very common with men and women and Scalp Micropigmentation for long hair is a great solution for this.

SMP for long hair with a receding hairline

If you’re proud of your long and flowing locks, but have a receding hairline, then SMP for long hair could be the solution you need. This technique can create the illusion of thicker hair above your forehead, though requires some long hair to strengthen the overall look. Your scalp tattoos will bring your hairline forward, so that you can keep your long hair.

You may find that as your hairline further recedes, you may need to cut your hair to a shorter style. That said, SMP for long hair may allow you to keep your signature image for longer than you otherwise could.

SMP with long hair results

SMP for long hair isn’t always a long-term solution. Scalp micropigmentation can only create the illusion of short hair itself. If you have existing long hair that you can blend with your tattoos, the results can look very good. If your hairline has fully and completely receded, you may need to look at other options. Once you have your scalp tattoos, you will need to watch for signs of further hairline recession. As your hairline moves further back, you may lose more of the long hair that you originally had. At this stage, it might be time to shave your hair for further SMP treatment.

If your hair is thinning and you would like to keep the length longer without having to wear the shaved buzz look then this is possible using SMP techniques to create the illusion of density by building up treatments and shades of micro-dots around and in-between existing hair. For older clients who are turning grey/white it is advisable to keep the hair colour a darker shade for optimum results.

Long hair SMP for men

If you’re a man with long hair, scalp micropigmentation can maintain your look as your hairline starts to recede. You will need to have some long hair reasonably close to your forehead to create the desired look using small scalp tattoos. SMP can fill in the gaps that your receding hairline leaves behind, helping you to look younger for longer before your hair loss develops. You’ll need to keep a close eye on your hairline, to make sure that your tattoos look natural. Over time, men can expect their hairline to further recede. When this happens, it may be time for a short cut or a different type of treatment. SMP for long hair can also be used to fill in gaps in areas of hair loss – it is often most effective when it’s used to create an overall look of thicker hair.

Long hair SMP for women

Many women, understandably, are very proud of their hair. Long hair might be a part of your identity, and something you’re not ready to surrender. For age or medical reasons, many women go through the experience of hair loss. In women, this usually means that the hair becomes thinner and the scalp can be seen through the strands. Using scalp micropigmentation, it’s possible to hide your natural hair loss. Small scalp tattoos can make your hair look thicker and fuller than before. Often, long hair SMP is very effective for masking bald patches or hiding thinning hair.

SMP is cosmetic tattooing (medical hair tattoo) that offers a solution to hair loss by replicating hair follicles that are about to grow giving the impression of a shaved look. SMP can treat anywhere on the scalp that is losing hair or even complete baldness of the scalp.

Prices vary from £600 per session to £1,300 per session depending on which artist carries out the SMP Prices are based on a session price rather than individual case price.

Scalp micropigmentation gives the look of a shaven head or a stubble shadow look, the treatment at Creative Scalps will be undetectable, only you, the people you choose to tell and Creative Scalps will know.

This is dependent on the amount of hair loss. As a general rule, you will be looking at 3 or 4 sessions over a 6-8 week period. Each session can last 2-4 hours.

This is done according to skin tone and/or remaining hair colour. We have huge experience of a diverse range of clients from all cultures. 1st sessions usually start with a lighter shade and we gradually build up density and darkness as we progress to complete your treatment.

We can go through some pictures of hairlines and draw some hairlines on you. When choosing hairlines it is always best to play it safe, not going too low on the first visit. Then on the second visit you would have decided how low you want to go. We can also produce various hairline styles depending on what you like (ie jagged, soft, slightly receding, edged up, lines and designs) Creative Scalps have developed techniques and procedures to ensure your hairline will be in the correct place and suit you and your style. We are from a barbering background and have years of top level experience to ensure this is done correctly.

No. We use different pigments, inks, machines, needles and techniques. Scalp Micro Pigmentation is a specialist field of its own and requires a highly experienced technician to achieve great results.

No not at all, as the depth of the needle is only into the upper dermis, if anything the treatment has been known to stimulate hair growth.

Results of completed treatments will last for years, depending on lifestyle and immune system. Many clients like to have a top-up session after 2 or 3 years just to keep their new style looking fresh.

TOP-UP  prices vary according to what is needed. Prices for an existing client can variety from £470 to £1000.

For best results you would need the treatment to dry heal for 4 days after each treatment. So this would mean avoiding sweat, water and any sorts of creams, lotions etc….
After this period you can slowly increase activity.

Everyone is different depending on skin types. Immediately after treatment our technician will clean your treatment and use an anti-redness topical anaesthetic so you will leave the clinic looking and feeling great. The redness may possibly be with you for a day or two typically.

The treatment is perfectly safe, we use sterile equipment and brand new packaged needles for every procedure. We take health & safety very seriously and are fully insured and regulated.

No, as we only use a carbon based black pigment which is diluted to match your skin tone.

Yes, direction of hair growth is always taken into consideration for the most realistic results.

The honest answer is yes you are going to feel discomfort as with any tattoo procedure. We advise clients to have eaten well and be in good health on the day of treatment. Our pre-treatment advice also includes moisturising the scalp twice daily in the days/weeks leading up to your procedure. This will help soften the skin. The elation you will feel after solving your hairloss issues will far outweigh any discomfort from treatment. 

We can work it around your work or social life no problem, weekends late nights early mornings are all ok. Creative Scalps has one of the worlds most skilled and experienced technicians so we do sometimes have waiting lists of 4-6 weeks.

    No not at all even though SMP can be known as a hair tattoo, it is completely different to a tattoo. The pigments used for SMP do not change colour, complete different equipment and needles are used and a complete different technique is used. Also you have to be specially trained to perform scalp micropigmentation

    4 days after each treatment you can not train, no sweating whatsoever, this is essential otherwise the treatment will not work. After 4 days you can train but only light training, you cannot sweat excessively for 10 days.

    Everyone is different depending on skin. Some clients the red can go same day, some takes a day and some can take a few days.

    The treatment is perfectly safe, Every needle used is disposed of after each treatment and the equipment is cleaned after every client.

    For most, this is not necessary. Remember, it is nothing like a normal tattoo the needle goes in not so deep. But you can take paracetamol, ibuprofen or co codamol. Avoid aspirin this will cause bleeding, aspirin thins the blood.

    We can work it around your work or social life no problem, weekends late nights early mornings that is not an issue.
