Scalp Micropigmentation is NOT Surgery.

You know that confident, powerful look that says “I could have a full head of hair, but I’ve chosen to shave it down to the follicle?” That’s the SMP style. SMP itself is the generic name for the process of using tiny ink impressions placed on the scalp to create the look of a full, robust, closely cut hairline. GLI is an SMP pioneer that has developed its own proprietary SMP process performed by trained, Certified Impression Technicians™. Click here to learn more about Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP).

No. SMP is about as similar to tattooing as administering a flu shot is to performing brain surgery. SMP and tattooing both consist of making marks on the skin by ingraining an indelible pigment into the dermis. However, the SMP application process, custom pigments, mapping, client management and technician training are extremely specialized. SMP is the only process performed at GLI. That’s why we’re the SMP leader, and why our understanding of SMP’s science and artistry has produced unsurpassed results for thousands of clients who’ve inquired about micropigmentation cost.

After hair micropigmentation cost, one of the most frequently asked questions we get is about how long the procedure itself takes.  The vast majority of GLI’s clients are in and out in just one day. Depending on your surgical history, head size and current hair loss, the initial procedure usually takes just 5-8 hours. If you decide to receive a follow-up density enhancement, this process takes just 2 hours on average. Efficiency is one of GLI’s many advantages, as we’ve perfected SMP to maximum precision. Our competitors find it hard to believe, but we’ve got the satisfied clients to prove it. Especially if you’re coming to us from out of town, this saves you significant time and money on hotels and other expenses.

We know that there are many questions surrounding what scalp micropigmentation actually is.  SMP is designed to be a durable and lasting solution to hair loss—not something that requires you to return again and again for expensive maintenance. Some GLI clients have one SMP procedure, and we never see them again. Others return for occasional tweaks and touchups—which will never exceed $595 but could be as low as $295 based on the options you choose – for life.

If you’re considering Scalp Micropigmentation or hair tattoo for your hair loss solution, this might just be the most important question to ask. With GLI, you can have the confidence that SMP procedure will be performed by a trained, Certified Impressionist—not a tattoo artist. GLI technicians have performed thousands of SMP procedures and every GLI technician completes an extensive and rigorous certification and testing process, including specialized training in the appropriate hairline placement and hairline pigmentation techniques.

GLI offers the most natural hair loss solution at the greatest overall value, hands down. Because we replicate each individual follicle you’ve lost (and more), pricing scales up or down based on the complexity of your customized procedure. Costs for hair micropigmentation start at just $1000 (to conceal scarring from other procedures) and increase based on complexity. We offer several different programs and warranties.  Keep in mind that whichever route you choose, we offer complimentary touch-ups within the year if needed, plus additional touch-ups for life for $595 or even as low as $295 depending on the options you choose. To determine specific pricing, start by requesting a quote. If you’d like to spread payments out monthly, we also offer payment plans.

Yes. We know that every scar is unique, and we’re confident that we provide the industry’s most thorough scar camouflage protocol. In fact, about 20 percent of the SMP we perform is to correct previous procedures from other providers—much of which involves scar camouflage. Visit our gallery for examples, or visit our page dedicated specifically to scar concealment.

As an SMP pioneer, we’ve developed a large, proprietary line of pigments to give you the widest possible breadth of choices. Rest assured, these aren’t tattoo inks. Regardless of your skin tone or desired hair color, we have a pigment and procedure composites that meet your requirements.

Having performed thousands of SMP procedures, we can confidently tell you that while SMP isn’t without discomfort, any pain involved is generally far less than most of our clients expect (in fact, we’ve had several clients feel so relaxed that they’ve fallen asleep during the procedure). Discomfort levels vary by person—and by the level of previous work they’ve received, such as transplants. But on average, our clients would rate their discomfort between 0 and 2 on a scale from 0-10.

SMP recovery is amazingly quick, akin to LASIK eye surgery. Most clients experience some redness immediately following the procedure, which dissipates significantly or completely disappears by the very next day. Rest assured, you won’t need to wear a hat for a month after your GLI procedure.

The cost of a hair tattoo is something many clients place first and foremost.  In most cases, insurance does not cover the scalp micropigmentation cost. But if you’ve had previous treatments from another provider (such as for burns or cuts) that were covered by insurance, consult with your insurance agent about possible coverage for hair micropigmentation cost.

Yes – we have a payment plan for everyone – Guaranteed.  This makes getting a great new hairline accessible to everyone, so even if your application for outsourced credit to cover the micropigmentation cost isn’t approved for any reason, you can just call your Image Consultant to make guaranteed financing available.

All work performed by Good Look Ink Certified Technicians is backed with a lifetime guarantee.  No risk and all reward.
