Scalp Micropigmentation for Women

The cost of scalp micropigmentation varies but can range from $2,000 to $5,000. JIYA Cosmetics charges $4,500 for scalp micropigmentation for all patients for the entire treatment process. Patients can discuss payment options and other treatments to add during a consultation.

Patients should expect to be in the session for at least two to three hours. Although, some scalp micropigmentation can be longer or shorter, depending on the amount of hair loss and desired results.

While scalp micropigmentation produces long-lasting results, it will not last forever. Generally, the ink will fade around the five-year mark, but results can sometimes last longer. Patients can then schedule a touch-up appointment to ensure their results last. Touch-up sessions are discounted for all of JIYA’s Cosmetics patients.

Scalp micropigmentation’s discomfort is primarily based on the patient’s pain tolerance. However, most patients report that the treatment feels more like a scratching or burning sensation than outright pain. Some patients report feeling utterly comfortable during the session. However, areas like the temples can be more sensitive, which can cause slight discomfort. Most patients’ treatment is relatively comfortable and requires no pain medication.

For women who want to try other options before turning to a hair transplant, scalp microneedling will not prevent them from being able to undergo the procedure. Some patients feel that scalp microneedling is insufficient and choose to have a hair transplant. This is entirely possible and does not need to be a concern.

Scalp micropigmentation does not typically look fake. However, it’s essential for patients to find the right technician or provider to achieve the best results. Dr. Jindal and his team at JIYA Cosmetics are trained to perform some of the best scalp micropigmentation’s in Raleigh. For patients, the training and dedication of the providers is the best way to ensure incredible results.

Typically, patients need more than one session to achieve the full results. During the first appointment, the provider will use a lighter shade of ink to ensure the scalp responds well to the tattoo and recovers correctly. After this, they will utilize follow-up sessions to apply darker shades, create the full effect, and perfect the fullness of the hair. Generally, patients need two to three sessions. 

Women who wish to add volume to their hair typically do not need to shave their heads before the session. Women who wish to have the buzzed head look should shave before scalp micropigmentation.
