Scalp Los Angeles

Scalp Los Angeles is a scalp micropigmentation clinic at Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks. The business says it has offered SMP since 2017, and it works by appointment only. Services cover hairline restoration, density for thinning hair, male and female pattern hair loss, alopecia camouflage, scar camouflage, beard work and touch-ups.

Every visit starts with a free consultation that takes about 15 to 30 minutes and carries no commitment. During it, the practitioner assesses the scalp, including how much hair has been lost, skin type and any existing scalp concerns, and then builds a personalized treatment plan. Clients who cannot come in can send photos of their scalp and receive a personalized quote remotely, or after an in-person or FaceTime consultation.

Sessions usually run about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the work involved, and the practitioner matches each scalp individually to the client's natural hair tone. The business uses vegan, carbon-based pigments that it says contain no dyes or additives. Treatment takes place in a private suite. According to the business, most clients describe the discomfort as similar to a mosquito bite, averaging 3 to 4 out of 10.

Prices start from $500 per session for most services, and scar camouflage pricing varies. Payment is taken per session, with no payment up front and no payment plans; cards, cash, Zelle, Venmo and Apple Pay are accepted. Sessions are spaced at least 14 days apart. Clients who need a fourth session or a touch-up after their third receive 50% off, and returning clients who completed three sessions with the business receive lifetime 50% off touch-ups. Scheduling is available early mornings, late evenings and seven days a week.

Aftercare guidance asks clients to stop Rogaine, minoxidil and Propecia during treatment and for 30 days after the final session. Swimming and saunas should wait at least 10 days, soap or shampoo on the treated area at least 5 to 6 days, and heavy sweating should be avoided for 5 days. SMP does not make hair grow back or affect existing hair. Hair transplant patients are asked to wait at least a month after SMP, and 6 months to a year after a transplant before SMP. Keloid scars need at least a year after surgery or keloid formation, with a photo for evaluation.

Each client's scalp is assessed individually, and the treatment plan is built around that assessment and the client's natural hair tone.

Clients are seen in a private treatment suite.
