FAQS

Is SMP a tattoo?

SMP uses cosmetic-grade pigment and specialised technique designed specifically for the scalp. It is not the same as traditional body tattooing.

Who is SMP suitable for?

SMP is suitable for men and women experiencing thinning hair, hair loss, alopecia, scarring, or those wanting the appearance of a fuller or shaved hairstyle.

Will it look realistic?

Yes. When performed correctly, SMP closely replicates the appearance of natural hair follicles. Precision, colour matching, and layering are key to realistic results.

How long does SMP last?

SMP typically lasts 3 to 5 years. Pigment fades gradually and evenly, with maintenance sessions available if desired.

Is there any downtime?

There is minimal downtime. Most clients return to normal activities quickly, with a short aftercare period to allow proper healing.

Why does SMP require multiple sessions?

SMP is layered gradually to create a natural, realistic appearance. Multiple sessions allow the skin to heal between treatments and ensure the pigment settles evenly, resulting in better density, longevity, and a refined final outcome.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain, a sunburn type feeling. The scalp is generally well tolerated, and the treatment is far more comfortable than expected, with no need for downtime afterward.
