Scalp micropigmentation costs between $2,500 and $5,500, depending on the treatment you need. A partline density fill sits at the low end of that range, while full head density or a buzzcut treatment sits at the top. At Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics in Sandy Springs, every treatment has a published price rather than a vague estimate, and CareCredit financing is available if you would prefer to spread the cost. Here is the full breakdown by treatment type, what is included, and how financing works.
Scalp Micropigmentation Cost in Atlanta at a Glance
Treatment type, not just the size of the area involved, is what really drives prices in Atlanta. Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics publishes six treatment tiers ranging from $2,500 to $5,500, so you can roughly see where your situation falls before you ever book a consultation.
Most clients land in the middle of that range. Density work on the crown or hairline runs $3,500 to $4,000, while full scalp coverage or a complete buzzcut style treatment runs $5,500. A $75 consultation is required before your first session, and this fee is applied toward your treatment cost if you book within two months.
Cost by Treatment Type
The table below lists Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics published pricing for each scalp micropigmentation treatment available at the Atlanta clinic.
| Treatment | Price | Best For |
| Partline | $2,500 | Adding density along an existing part line |
| SMP Scar Camouflage | $3,000 | Blending surgical or hair transplant scars into surrounding skin |
| Density Edges/Hairline | $3,500 | Rebuilding a receding or thinning hairline |
| Density Crown | $4,000 | Adding density to a thinning crown or vertex |

What Is Included in the Price
Every price above covers a full treatment plan, not a single visit.
- A private consultation: your artist assesses hair loss pattern, scarring, and goals before any pigment is applied
- Three to four sessions: each session runs 60 to 120 minutes and sessions are spaced about two weeks apart
- Sterile, single use supplies: equipment follows CDC aligned sterilization standards for every session
- Aftercare guidance: written instructions and support through the six to eight week healing period
The $75 consultation fee is charged separately and is not included in the treatment prices above. It becomes a credit toward your procedure if you schedule your first session within two months of your consultation.
What Affects Your Final Cost
- Treatment type: a partline costs less than full head density because it covers a smaller, simpler area
- Scarring: scar camouflage requires custom color matching and more detailed layering than standard density work
- Number of sessions: most clients need three to four, but more extensive hair loss can call for an additional visit
- Touch up timing: results last three to five years, and a touch up every two to six years is priced separately from the original treatment
Scalp Micropigmentation Cost Compared to a Hair Transplant
Hair transplant surgery commonly costs several times more than a full scalp micropigmentation treatment, and it carries surgical risk, visible scarring at the donor site, and weeks of recovery. Scalp micropigmentation delivers an immediate, natural looking result in the same visit, with no surgery and no downtime.
Because results do not depend on donor hair regrowth, pricing stays predictable from the start. For many clients comparing options, that makes scalp micropigmentation a lower cost way to address hair loss without an operating room.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest scalp micropigmentation option in Atlanta?
A partline treatment is the most affordable option at Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics, priced at $2,500. It works well for clients who only need extra density along an existing part rather than a full hairline rebuild or complete scalp coverage. Your exact price is confirmed during a consultation.
Is scar camouflage priced differently than standard scalp micropigmentation?
Yes. SMP scar camouflage is priced at $3,000, separate from standard density treatments. It blends surgical or hair transplant scars into surrounding pigmented skin rather than building density across the whole scalp, so pricing reflects the more detailed, targeted work involved.
Does financing cover the full cost of scalp micropigmentation?
CareCredit financing can be applied toward any treatment listed above, from a $2,500 partline to $5,500 full head density. Approved applicants can spread payments over several months instead of paying the full amount upfront. Apply directly through the financing link on the SMP finance page before booking.
How many sessions are included in the listed price?
Each price above covers a full treatment plan, typically three to four sessions spaced about two weeks apart. Multiple sessions let pigment settle and layer properly for a natural result. Results are usually visible six to eight weeks after your final session.
How often will I need a touch up after treatment?
Results from scalp micropigmentation last three to five years before pigment noticeably fades. Most clients return for a touch up every two to six years depending on skin type, sun exposure, and how the original pigment healed. Touch ups are booked and priced separately from the initial treatment.
Is scalp micropigmentation cheaper than a hair transplant long term?
Yes. Scalp micropigmentation is a fraction of the average hair transplant cost and involves no surgery, no scarring, and no recovery downtime. Because it does not depend on donor hair, results stay consistent over time without the unpredictable regrowth that can follow transplant surgery.
