How Long Does Scalp Micropigmentation Last?
Quick answer: SMP is semi-permanent: it typically fades gradually over several years, and sun exposure, skin type and scalp care affect how quickly, so most people plan for touch-ups.
- Sun: UV speeds fading.
- Skin: Oily skin may fade faster.
- Comparison: Folli-Doc’s Simulation & Stimulation lasts 24–48 months.
