Please avoid shampoo, heavy exercise (including swimming) and sauna on the day of the procedure. You may return to your normal routine from the next day.

✴ Shampoo and sweating will not cause side effects but can affect the pigmentation.

SMP procedure is performed on the space inbetween the hair roots on the scalp. The depth of the treatment is 0.8mm-1.5mm and does not reach the depth of hair follicles which is 4-6mm deep. The needle will not damage hair roots or hair follicles.

Scalp Micropigmentation is a semi-permanent treatment lasting around 10+ years with proper care.

As skin sheds and absorbs pigment, fading occurs over time, influenced by factors like sun exposure and skin type.

Touchups are recommended every 2-5 years.

At Blavuu, we use specialised carbon-based organic pigments for scalp micropigmentation that maintain colour stability over time. These vegan and cruelty-free pigments only slightly lighten as the skin naturally sheds.

SMP and regular tattoos are very different:

✴ Needles: Only SMP specialised micro needles are used.

✴ Ink: As well as SMP specialised carbon based inks.

✴ Technique: Ink is deposited just below the epidermis layer of scalp, using a detailed dotting method rather than lines and shading.

✴ Pain: Pain most often described as 2-5/10.

Did you know that at the root, eveyone's hair is a shade of grey. Black being the darkest, white the lightest etc.

SMP uses the same colour found in the natural hair follicle by matching your hair colour at the root on the grey scale, meaning that it won't affect any future colour treatments/natural greying process.

Instead of turning blue/green (like a brow tattoo), the ink will typically fade evenly to a grey or brown shade that is present in a natural hair follicle.
