With over 20 years serving the Queens community, we bring the same care, precision, and personal attention to SMP that we've built our reputation on. Your journey to renewed confidence starts with a free, no-pressure consultation.
What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation is a specialized cosmetic procedure that uses micro-deposits of pigment to create the appearance of hair follicles on the scalp. Think of it as a highly detailed cosmetic tattoo designed specifically for the scalp.
Unlike hair transplants or topical treatments, SMP provides immediate, natural-looking results without surgery, scarring, or daily maintenance. It works for all stages of hair loss and can be customized to match your natural hair color and desired density.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is scalp micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses specialized pigments to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles. It creates the look of a closely shaved head or adds density to thinning hair, providing a natural-looking solution for hair loss.
How much does scalp micropigmentation cost at Therapeutic Cuts?
SMP sessions start at $100. Total cost varies based on the size of the treatment area and number of sessions needed. Read the full SMP cost guide before your consultation so you know what affects the quote.
Is scalp micropigmentation permanent?
SMP is considered semi-permanent. The pigments typically last 3-5 years before requiring touch-ups. Unlike traditional tattoos, SMP pigments are designed to maintain their appearance without turning blue or green over time.
Does scalp micropigmentation hurt?
Most clients describe SMP as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. The sensation is similar to getting a regular tattoo but on the scalp. We work carefully to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
How long does an SMP session take?
Initial SMP sessions typically take 2-3 hours, depending on the treatment area size. Most clients require 2-3 sessions spaced 7-10 days apart for optimal results.
