FAQ’s

No! SMP is a form of permanent cosmetics, but unlike some tattooing or permanent makeup, the pigment is designed to maintain its intended colour. The pigment contains no additional colourants or additives and will only lighten, not discolour over time.

In most cases 3 sessions are required (10-14 days apart) to achieve the desired look. The first 2 sessions are ‘building’ the density and the third completes the ‘definition’ aspect of the procedure. Sometimes a fourth session is required to achieve the desired result.

SMP is non invasive and requires no downtime. In most cases, you will not need to take any extended time away from work, school, or other functions. After treatment it is common to notice slight redness on the scalp for 2-3 days post session. This redness subsides quickly and most clients return to work either right away or within a couple of days. Clients are also allowed to wear hats, should they feel the need, as long as it isn’t too tight or abrasive.

Depending upon the pattern and extent of the thinning hair, some clients are able to maintain a longer length of hair. SMP can help thicken areas so that less of the scalp is seen showing through. However, if there is a strong pattern of hair loss or just not a lot of hair density left, the client is recommended to crop it shorter.

The cost will depend upon the balding pattern, the area of the scalp to be covered and if any scars are present. In order to give you an accurate price, a consultation is needed.

Most people experience a mild amount of discomfort during the early stages of the session, though this becomes more tolerable as the session progresses. You may feel more discomfort in the temple areas than the crown area. Most clients say that the pain is generally far less than what they expected.

Results can last 1 to 3 years with some touch ups in between. For maximum longevity, it is important to keep the scalp in good condition. Taking adequate precautions in the sun and avoid topical products that contain alcohol. It is recommended using a good quality sun block.
