Is scalp micropigmentation cheaper than ongoing hair loss treatments?

For most people, yes. The average person spending £50–£150 per month on hair loss products, concealers and specialist barber visits will spend £3,000–£9,000 over 5 years. SMP starts from £750 for all three sessions with no ongoing monthly cost — making it significantly cheaper over any period longer than 12–18 months.

How long does SMP last before a top-up is needed?

SMP typically lasts 4–6 years before a refresh session is recommended. Many clients go longer. A top-up session costs significantly less than the original treatment course.
