HOME FAQ

DOES SMP LOOK LIKE A TATTOO?

No. When performed correctly, scalp micropigmentation is designed to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles, not tattoo ink. SMP uses specialized pigment placement, softer detail, and carefully layered density to create results that look natural in everyday lighting and at close range.

DOES SMP WORK FOR DIFFUSE THINNING?

Yes. SMP is often an excellent option for diffuse thinning because it reduces contrast between the scalp and existing hair. By creating the appearance of increased density, SMP can make thinning areas look significantly fuller without surgery or hair fibres.

CAN SMP TREAT A RECEDING HAIRLINE?

Yes. SMP can recreate or strengthen the appearance of a hairline while maintaining a natural, age-appropriate look. Hairline design is customized based on facial structure, age, existing hair, and long-term goals.

DOES SMP WORK FOR WOMEN?

DOES SMP WORK FOR ALOPECIA?

Yes. SMP can be an effective option for many forms of alopecia by reducing the contrast between hair and scalp and creating the appearance of greater density or coverage. Treatment recommendations are customized based on the type and extent of hair loss.

DOES SMP LOOK REAL UP CLOSE?

Yes. When performed correctly, SMP is designed to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles at a realistic size, shape, and density. The goal is a subtle result that looks natural both from a normal conversational distance and up close. Natural hairline design, proper pigment selection, and conservative density building all play an important role in achieving realistic results.

IS SMP VISIBLE IN SUNLIGHT?

No more than natural hair follicles would be. Properly performed SMP is designed to appear natural in a variety of lighting conditions, including direct sunlight. Pigment placement, density, and colour matching are all important factors in achieving a realistic result.

HOW MANY SESSIONS DOES SMP TAKE?

All treatments are completed over 3 sessions, included in your package price. This gradual approach allows density, softness, and overall balance to be refined naturally over time for the most realistic result.

HOW FAR APART ARE SMP SESSIONS?

Sessions can be spaced anywhere from 48 hours to 4 weeks apart depending on your preference, schedule, and treatment goals. Some clients prefer a slower approach, while others want their transformation completed as quickly as possible.

DOES SMP HURT?

Most clients describe SMP as very manageable. Certain areas of the scalp may feel slightly more sensitive than others, but the treatment is generally considered far less uncomfortable than traditional tattooing.

DOES SMP DAMAGE HAIR FOLLICLES?

No. SMP is performed very superficially within the upper layer of the skin, while hair follicles sit much deeper beneath the scalp. The treatment does not damage existing hair or interfere with natural hair growth.

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE MY SMP APPOINTMENT?

Before treatment, we recommend arriving with a clean scalp and following any preparation instructions provided during your consultation. We will review everything you need to know before your first session so you feel fully prepared and confident.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER?

Downtime is minimal. Most clients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness can occur temporarily after a session, but significant scabbing or extended recovery is uncommon.

HOW LONG BEFORE I CAN SHAVE MY HEAD?

Most clients can resume shaving within a few days following treatment. Specific aftercare instructions may vary depending on your treatment plan, but we will provide detailed guidance to help protect your results during the healing process.

WHAT DOES SMP LOOK LIKE HEALED?

Immediately after treatment, the pigment may appear slightly darker or more defined. As the scalp heals, the impressions soften naturally and settle into a more realistic, subtle appearance.

HOW LONG DOES SMP LAST?

SMP is considered a long-lasting treatment. While some gradual softening can occur over time, most clients enjoy their results for years before considering a touch-up.

DOES SMP FADE OR CHANGE COLOUR?

When proper pigments and techniques are used, SMP is designed to heal naturally and soften gradually over time without turning blue or discoloured.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY SMP RESULTS?

SMP requires very little ongoing maintenance. Most clients simply follow basic scalp care recommendations and consider a touch-up after several years if they wish to refresh the appearance of their treatment.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY HAIR TURNS GREY?

SMP is intended to replicate the appearance of closely shaved hair follicles rather than individual hair colour. As natural hair greys, SMP generally continues to blend naturally with the overall appearance of the scalp. During consultations, pigment selection is carefully considered to support long-term realism.

CAN SMP COVER TRANSPLANT SCARS?

Yes. SMP can be used to soften the appearance of FUT and FUE transplant scarring by blending pigment into the surrounding scalp and reducing visible contrast.

CAN SMP BE REMOVED?

Yes. SMP can be lightened or removed using laser tattoo removal if desired. While most clients keep their treatment long-term and simply refresh it with occasional touch-ups, removal remains an option should your preferences change in the future.

IS SMP BETTER THAN A TRANSPLANT?

SMP and hair transplants are very different solutions. SMP is non-surgical, low-maintenance, and creates the appearance of restored density using realistic follicle replication. The right option depends on your hair loss pattern, goals, and lifestyle.

CAN SMP BE ADJUSTED IF MY HAIR LOSS PROGRESSES?

Yes. SMP can be adapted over time if your hair loss changes. Additional density or coverage can be added gradually to maintain a natural and balanced appearance.
