FAQ’s

What is the pain level during the SMP procedure?

Most clients report minimal pain or discomfort during the SMP procedure. I can apply topical anesthetics to numb the scalp and ensure a comfortable experience. The sensation is often described as similar to getting a tattoo but generally less painful.

How long does the SMP procedure take?

The SMP procedure typically requires 2-3 sessions, each lasting 2-4 hours, depending on the extent of coverage needed. The number of sessions and their duration can vary based on the individual’s hair loss pattern and the desired outcome.

What is the recovery time after SMP?

The healing process generally takes about 7-10 days. During this time, you may experience minor redness and scabbing, which typically resolve within a week. Most clients can resume normal activities shortly after each session, with minimal disruption to their daily routine.

How long do the results of SMP last?

SMP results can last several years with proper care. Periodic touch-ups may be needed to maintain the appearance, as natural fading can occur over time due to factors like sun exposure and skin regeneration.

What aftercare is required following the SMP procedure?

Proper aftercare is crucial for optimal results. After the procedure, it’s important to avoid direct sunlight, excessive sweating, and swimming for several days. Regular moisturizing and gentle cleansing are recommended to help the scalp heal properly and maintain the pigments.

Can SMP be used to cover scars on the scalp?

Yes, SMP can effectively camouflage scalp scars from previous surgeries or injuries by blending them with the surrounding hair follicles, making them less noticeable. This is a popular choice for individuals who have undergone hair transplants or other scalp surgeries.

Is SMP suitable for women with thinning hair?

Absolutely. SMP can create the illusion of fuller hair for women experiencing hair thinning, helping to boost confidence and self-esteem. The treatment is tailored to match the natural hair color and density, ensuring a realistic and seamless look. Learn more about how SMP can help women on our SMP for Women page.
