FAQS – SCALP

How many sessions will I need?

Usually 2-4 procedures. The first procedure is to build up. The 2nd procedure (7-10 days after initial) is to build density. A third and fourth session is only needed if the client wants to build it up more density. You rather build up slowly then overdo it.

Is the treatment painful?

The average person rates the pain a 2-3/10. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Some people find the procedure soothing and relaxing.
