Why Does SMP Fade?

After receiving a scalp micropigmentation (SMP) procedure, it’s natural for the pigment to fade over time. This is a normal part of the process, influenced by several factors:

  • Initial Procedure Quality: The skill and technique of the original practitioner play a significant role in how long your SMP lasts.


  • Skin Type: Skin that produces excess oil or acid can break down the pigments faster.


  • Sun Exposure: The frequency and duration of sun exposure directly impact how quickly your SMP fades. UV rays can degrade the pigments, so protecting your scalp with sunscreen or a hat is essential.



Fading doesn’t mean the results are gone—it’s simply a sign that it might be time for a touch-up to maintain your desired look.

It’s Time for a Touch-Up

SMP typically lasts 4-8 years before significant fading occurs. However, the exact timeline varies from person to person. Once the fading process begins, you may notice some areas look lighter or more irregular than others. While this can sometimes add to the authenticity of your SMP, it’s often a sign that a touch-up is needed.


Here’s how to know if it’s time for a touch-up:

  • You notice lightening or inconsistencies in pigmentation.
  • The overall density or shade no longer matches your initial treatment.
  • You want to keep your SMP looking fresh and natural.

At SMP INK CDA, our touch-up process begins with a consultation. If you have photos from your initial procedure, we’ll use them to identify areas where fading has started or where pigments are entirely gone. These photos also help us ensure we use ink that perfectly matches your original shade for a seamless, refreshed result.

Touch-ups at SMP INK CDA are quick, precise, and designed to restore your confidence. Here’s what to expect:

  • Consultation:

    We review your scalp and any photos of your original treatment to determine the best approach.

  • Procedure:

    Our expert technicians carefully enhance faded areas, restoring density and vibrancy.

  • Natural Results

    Our advanced SMP techniques ensure a look so natural, people won’t be able to tell the difference between your restored hairline and natural growth.

  • Aftercare:

    We provide you with post-treatment instructions to help extend the longevity of your touch-up.

Your SMP touch-up will blend perfectly with your existing treatment, ensuring a natural, polished look.
