Does Any of This Look Familiar?

Bad SMP is more common than people think. Whether it was done at a discount shop, by a poorly trained artist, or simply faded badly over time — these problems are fixable.

Turned Blue or Green

Cheap or unstable pigments oxidize under the skin over time, shifting from black-grey to an unnatural blue or green tone.

Dots Blurred or Spread

Pigment deposited too deep spreads out under the skin, creating blurry blobs instead of crisp, natural-looking follicle dots.

Hairline Too Low or Unnatural

An incorrectly placed hairline — too straight, too low, or the wrong shape for your face — makes the result look artificial.

Uneven Fading

Some areas faded rapidly while others stayed dark, creating patches of inconsistent density and color across the scalp.

Wrong Color Match

Pigment that doesn’t match your natural hair or skin tone stands out instead of blending seamlessly with your existing hair.

Poorly Defined Edges

Unclean edges along the hairline or temples that look drawn on rather than natural make the entire result obvious.

How Simon Corrects Prior SMP Work

01

In-Person Assessment

Simon examines your scalp under proper lighting — assessing the existing pigment depth, color shift, dot spread, and placement. You’ll get an honest evaluation of what’s fixable and what the result can realistically look like.

02

Color Neutralization (if needed)

Bluish or greenish pigment often needs to be neutralized with a corrective tone before new pigment can be layered on top. Simon uses color theory — the same foundation as his fine art background — to cancel out the unwanted hue.

03

Re-pigmentation & Blending

New pigment is carefully layered to correct density, even out fading, and refine the hairline placement. Simon works dot by dot — never rushing — to make the result look as natural as possible.

04

Refinement Session

After healing, a follow-up session addresses any remaining inconsistencies. The goal is a scalp that looks like it was done right the first time.

Simon Yalniz is a licensed California SMP artist with a professional background in stippling — the precise dot-work technique at the core of great scalp micropigmentation. He understands exactly how pigment behaves in skin, which is why he can fix what others couldn’t get right.

Questions About SMP Correction

Can all bad SMP be corrected without laser removal?

Many cases can be corrected through color neutralization and re-pigmentation alone. Cases with very deep, heavily spread pigment may benefit from laser fading first — Simon will advise you honestly at the consultation.

How many sessions does a correction take?

Most corrections require 3 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart to allow healing. You’ll receive a realistic estimate after the in-person assessment.

How much does SMP correction cost?

Correction pricing depends on the extent of the prior work, how many sessions are needed, and what techniques are required. Simon quotes correction cases individually after the consultation.

Do I need laser removal before a correction?

Not always. For mild color shifts and faded pigment, laser is often not necessary. For very blue, deeply embedded, or massively spread pigment, a few laser sessions can make the correction far more successful.

Will people be able to tell it was ever bad?

The goal of every correction is a result that looks like it was done correctly from day one. In most cases — yes, the final result is indistinguishable from a clean original treatment.
