Restore Confidence with Expert SMP Removal

If you’re unhappy with your scalp micropigmentation (SMP) results, whether due to outdated designs, fading, or poorly executed work, our SMP Removal Services can help you achieve the look you desire. We specialise in correcting and removing unwanted SMP treatments safely and effectively.

Why Choose SMP Removal?

Scalp micropigmentation is a long-lasting solution, but sometimes adjustments or complete removal may be necessary. Reasons for SMP removal include:

Outdated Designs: Changing trends or personal preferences may require a new look.
Poor Workmanship: Uneven hairlines, smudging, or unnatural pigment colours can affect results.
Colour Fading or Migration: Pigments may fade unevenly or shift over time.
Change of Style: Clients may opt for a completely different appearance or hair restoration method.
Medical Reasons: Scalp changes due to skin conditions or allergies may require removal.

If there is anything else that you want to ask or need clarification with, get in touch with us.

What is scalp micropigmentation (SMP)?

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.

What is the cost?

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.

Will it look real?

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.

How long will the treatment take?

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.

How do you choose the right colour shade?

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.

How do we choose the front hairline?

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.

Is SMP the same as a normal tattoo?

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.

Will it damage existing hair?

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.

Are the results permanent?

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.

How much does a top-up session cost?

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

Can I go the gym or do any sort of training after treatment?

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.

Will my head be red/sore and how long will this last?

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.

Is the treatment safe?

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.

Does the colour discolour (turn orange/blue)?

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

Do you match direction of hair growth?

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

Does the treatment hurt?

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.

How flexible are you on bookings?

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.
