FAQs

We are happy to answer your questions.

What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, layered dots of pigment to replicate the look of a closely-shaved head or add density to thinning hair.

How many treatments should I expect?

All routine SMP treatments are performed over 3 separate sessions, and this is the number of sessions included in your quote.

Does the treatment hurt?

SMP would not be described as a painful treatment process but at times may cause mild discomfort to some. Most of our clients report no pain whatsoever and some even fall asleep during treatment. Some describe the feeling of a small pin prick on their scalp.

How long do the results last?

SMP is a permanent solution to hair loss and will last a lifetime with maintenance touch ups along the way. How often you require touch ups depends on numerous factors such as your immune system, how you look after your treatment and UV exposure.

Will SMP affect hair growth?

No, SMP does not interfere with natural hair growth or hair follicles since it only deposits pigment on the scalp surface.

What is the treatment aftercare?

After each treatment you can return to work immediately. For the 4 days after each treatment, we advise that you do not exercise or excessively sweat. You can return to light exercise after a 4-day healing period. Excessive Sweating of the scalp can cause the treatment to migrate or not hold. Normal exercise can resume 10 days after treatment.For the following 4 days after each treatment, it is important not to allow your scalp to get wet or wear hats which may rub on your new SMP treatment. After the 4 day period you can then wash your head and shave your hair. For swimming we advise waiting 30 days after the final treatment. Full aftercare instructions will be given to you after your first treatment as well as an aftercare kit
