Is the procedure painful?
Most people who opt for SMP describe their experience as relatively painless. In order to reduce any discomfort, an aesthetic cream may be applied to the scalp prior to treatment.
Does Scalp Micropigmentation hurt?
The answer to this question depends on the individual, as everyone experiences pain differently. Generally speaking, Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) does not hurt much at all and can often be described as a slight tingling sensation that is no more uncomfortable than tweezing or waxing. The procedure itself involves depositing small amounts of pigment into the scalp, which can cause some minor discomfort due to the needle used in the process.
Most people who opt for SMP describe their experience as relatively painless. In order to reduce any discomfort, an anaesthetic cream may be applied to the scalp prior to treatment. This numbing cream works by calming nerve cells and blocking any sensations of pain felt, leaving you feeling relaxed throughout your SMP session.
It is important to note that everyone’s tolerance for pain varies, so if you are worried about potential discomfort during a Scalp Micropigmentation procedure, discuss this with your practitioner ahead of time. They will be able to find a way of making sure you remain comfortable throughout the entire process.
