What to expect
Frequently Asked Questions & Policies
How many sessions will I need?
SMP generally takes between 1-3 sessions for full results, and each session takes between 3-4 hours.
Subsequent touch-up/ fill appointments may be required until desired level of density is achieved.
Does it hurt?
Clients generally tell us it feels more annoying then really hurting, however everyone’s pain tolerance is different. If pain is an issue for you please talk to your technician.
Will I bleed?
It is possible that you may have some light spotting during the procedure, however this would be very minimal. Our needles are set at a specific depth level and angle to only target the epidermal layer of the skin, and there are no blood vessels in this layer. Some of our clients have even returned to work after the procedure (though, it is recommended you relax).
Are you SMP certified?
We are fully certified SMP Artist through Flawless Scalp Micropigmentation | Vancouver BC. With careful attention, our technician’s create the perfect amount of space given for each tattooed hair follicle to resemble the real thing.
We are also Interior Health Approved, Permitted, Licensed and Insured. We are continually upgrading our skills and equipment to stay ahead of the trends.
Please, if you are thinking of going anywhere else ask to see credentials and certification! It is up to you to check, and unfortunately this is not a regulated industry. The most common corrections we see have been from microblade artists who have been “in the beauty industry for years” experimenting on people. Being certified in micro pigmentation for eyebrows is a little different. Definitely do your research. This is an investment in your future and it should be an amazing experience. Ask to see:
- Before and after gallery
- Healed results and
- Certifications
Please make sure that it is there own work that they are posting not examples of SMP which unfortunately is very common. Be sure to get any claims made in writing.
How long does it last?
The procedure has been shown to last up to ten years. To ensure longevity, follow all after care instructions provided by your artist.
What about my privacy? I don't want anyone knowing I've come to see you
We understand, and take our clients confidentiality very seriously. So much so, that we will never book more then one SMP procedure per day. Not only does that give you complete privacy, it also means that we will not be in a rush to get you out the door.
