Frequently asked questions

1. *What is SMP?*

SMP stands for Scalp Micropigmentation. It is a non-surgical cosmetic tattooing procedure that mimics the appearance of a closely shaved head or adds density to thinning hair.

2. *How does SMP work?

SMP involves the application of pigments to the scalp using a specialized tattooing technique. Tiny, layered dots are created to simulate the look of hair follicles.

3. *Is SMP painful?*

Pain tolerance varies, but most people describe the discomfort as minimal. Many clients fall asleep during the procedure.

4. *How long does the SMP procedure take?*

The duration depends on factors such as the extent of hair loss and the desired result. Typically, sessions are 4-5 hours in length. Three sessions are required for finished results. One free touch up at 6 months is included in your package.

5. *Are there any side effects or risks?*

Risks are generally low, but like any tattoo procedure, there can be temporary redness, swelling, or minor discomfort. Infections are rare if proper aftercare is followed.

6. *How long does SMP last?*

The longevity of SMP varies, but it usually lasts several years before requiring touch-ups. Maintenance may be needed to keep the appearance fresh.

7. *Can I choose the hairline style and color?*

Yes, clients can collaborate with the SMP technician to choose the desired hairline style, density, and pigment color that best matches their natural hair color.

8. *Who is a good candidate for SMP?*

SMP is suitable for individuals with various degrees of hair loss, including those with receding hairlines, thinning hair, or those who have undergone hair transplant procedures.

9. *What is the SMP aftercare like?*

Aftercare instructions typically include avoiding sun exposure, limiting water contact for a few days, and applying recommended ointments to promote proper healing.

10. *Can SMP be removed?*

While SMP is considered permanent, there are removal options such as laser treatments, but they may not completely eliminate the pigmentation. Remember to consult with a qualified SMP technician for personalized advice and information based on your specific situation.
