Scalp micropigmentation pricing by treatment type
The price follows the starting point.
A shaved treatment builds the appearance of closely cropped follicles across exposed scalp. Density work places pigment impressions between existing hair. They are different jobs, so they carry different per-session prices.

Shaved scalp micropigmentation $3,300
Typical three-session total*Build a full, closely cropped look across the treated area.
Density treatment $3,600
Typical three-session total*Blend pigment impressions between existing hair. SMP creates the appearance of density; it does not grow hair.
* $3,300 shaved and $3,600 density are typical three-session treatment totals. About 80% of SCALPS clients need only three sessions. Occasionally, additional sessions may be needed; your consultation confirms the expected session count and total.
Touch-up pricing
Touch-up pricing depends on whose work we are touching.
We already know the original design and treatment history.
The existing work must be assessed before anything is added.
Scar camouflage and other SMP or camouflage work require an individual assessment before pricing is confirmed.
From session price to treatment total
What will my total SMP treatment cost?
At SCALPS, shaved scalp micropigmentation is $1,100 per session. Density treatment is $1,200 per session. Your treatment total depends on the category, coverage, prior work, and number of sessions appropriate for your starting point.
A typical three-session shaved plan would total $3,300 when three sessions are appropriate. Your consultation confirms the expected sessions and exact total before treatment begins.
Treatment categoryShaved scalp, density, touch-up, scar, or outside-provider work.
Starting pointCoverage, existing hair, skin or scar tissue, and prior pigment.
Session planThe number of sessions appropriate for your treatment—not a hidden package price.
The treatment develops in layers
What happens across SMP sessions?
Every session adds more pigment impressions and brings the treatment closer to the planned result. The visible effect begins in session one; density, feathering, balance, and integration develop across later sessions.
A visible change begins.
The foundation and initial hairline shape begin as pigment is deposited. You can see a cosmetic difference after this first session, while the healed appearance develops as the skin settles.
Density and feathering take shape.
More impressions build density and integration. The hairline or perimeter can be softened and feathered so the treatment works naturally with your features and existing hair.
The finishing session.
Often thought of as the refinement session, this is where settled layers are reviewed and the artist can fine-tune the balance, blend, and details of the planned design.
The effect begins when pigment meets skin.
SMP is 100% effective at depositing pigment and creating a visible cosmetic effect. That does not guarantee satisfaction, hair growth, permanence, or identical results.

Quality lives in the decisions
What sets SCALPS® apart
SMP worth traveling for.
When the result will live with you every day, proximity should not make the decision for you. SCALPS is built as a destination for clients who want an experienced artist, a portfolio of healed results, a plan designed for their starting point, and one person accountable for the work from consultation through healing.
Why SMP artist experience affects price
Review healed—not only fresh—results, hairline design, experience with your treatment type, aftercare planning, and how the provider assesses existing work. Correction can require more assessment than starting on untreated scalp.
Not only fresh results.
Look for results after the skin has settled—not only immediately after treatment.
Hairline, density, and balance.
The plan should work with your features, treatment category, and existing hair.
Your starting point matters.
Untreated scalp, density work, scars, and prior pigment require different decisions.
Sessions, aftercare, and existing work.
Transparent pricing makes more sense when you understand what is being planned.
The artist behind every decision
Meet Alex Asher.
Founder of SCALPS® and the artist responsible for the work.
Alex evaluates each starting point, designs the hairline or density plan, builds the treatment in layers, and reviews how the work settles after healing. You are not choosing a price from a menu; you are choosing the person responsible for hundreds of small decisions that determine whether the result looks believable.
The SCALPS standardThe goal is not to make someone notice SMP. It is to make the result feel like it belongs to you.
Experienced SMP without unnecessary city overhead
Higher city overheaddoesn’t guarantee better SMP.
Location and overhead can influence quotes, but the more important comparison is healed work, design judgment, and experience with your starting point.

Scalp micropigmentation cost FAQs
Clear answers about SMP pricing, complete treatment cost, touch-ups, density treatment, financing, and the factors that affect your quote.
How much does scalp micropigmentation cost per session?
Shaved scalp micropigmentation is $1,100 per session. Density treatment is $1,200 per session.
What will a complete SMP treatment cost?
Your total depends on treatment type and the number of sessions appropriate for your starting point. A typical three-session shaved plan would total $3,300 when three sessions are appropriate; the consultation confirms the expected number of sessions and total.
How much does an SMP touch-up cost?
A returning SCALPS client pays $1,100 per session. Work originally completed by another provider is $1,200 per session and must be assessed first.
Is density treatment priced differently?
Yes. Density treatment is $1,200 per session because pigment is placed between existing hair. SMP creates the appearance of density; it does not grow hair.
Is scar camouflage priced the same way?
Scar camouflage requires an individual assessment. The scar, surrounding hair, skin, and treatment area determine what can be planned.
Will I see a difference after the first session?
A visible change is guaranteed after the first session because pigment is deposited. The finished, healed appearance develops later.
How long does SMP last before a refresh?
Refresh timing varies with skin, sun exposure, pigment, aftercare, and the individual treatment. Your artist should explain the expected maintenance plan for your case.
Is financing available, and what is the deposit?
Financing is available. The appointment deposit is $100; it is fully refundable with at least seven days’ notice and forfeited with less than seven days’ notice.
Why do SMP quotes vary by provider, city, or country?
Quotes can differ because treatment scope, sessions, overhead, experience, and prior work differ. Compare what the quote includes and review healed results rather than geography alone.
Can another provider continue or touch up existing work?
Another provider can assess existing work, but pigment, technique, design, and treatment history may affect what can be added. SCALPS prices outside-provider work separately after assessment.
