SMP is a safe and non-invasive treatment, which permanently disguises hair loss.
Performed by highly skilled practitioners, tiny deposits of permanent tattoo pigment are tattooed into the skin, to give the appearance of a hair follicle. Matched and blended into your existing hair follicles, creating a seamless result.
Most treatments are carried out over three appointments. This is to build density slowly and to obtain a long-lasting finish. Appointments 1 & 2 are 7 days apart, and appointment 3 is 4 weeks after that.
SMP treatments do require frequent top-up appointments, and you can refresh the tattoo every 2 to 4 years. You can also choose not to have top-ups, and allow the tattoo to soften away naturally.

SMP is a permanent treatment that softens with age. To maintain it, top up sessions are required. How often these are needed really depends on each individual. Usually between 2 to 6 years, dependent on your immune system and exposure to sunlight.
-
Most clients report that SMP is a comfortable treatment. Some areas can feel quite relaxing and others may cause mild discomfort.

SMP provides immediate results. With each session, the appearance gets better and more natural. Your head may be a little red immediately after your sessions, but this usually fades within 2-4 hours.
-
After undergoing breast surgery, in particular Mastectomy, 90% of our clients do not feel anything at all. If you do have sensation, it is very unlikely that you will experience more than a simple scratching sensation. If you are concerned that you have hyper-sensitivity, please contact us directly to discuss this further.
-
It is important to keep your scalp moisturised for a minimum of 7 days prior to coming. If your scalp is too dry, the treatment will not be successful and you may be turned away. We recommend using a gentle body moisturiser such as Coco Butter or Shea Butter, twice daily.
We recommend that you do NOT shave for at-least 4 days before your first treatment. This helps us to asses your follicle colour and level of hair loss.
-
SMP is relatively easy to heal, but it is very important to strictly follow the few instructions that you are given. This will be discussed in detail on the day of your appointments, but as a guideline the below are some of the most important guidelines - so ensure that you book your treatments at times when you will be able to follow the instructions.
Do not get your scalp wet for 4 days
No excessive sweating or exercise for 4 days
(Light exercise ok between day 4-10)
No hats that would rub your treatment
Do swimming under water for 30days
If these instructions are not followed, it can lead to the pigment not holding within your scalp, and additional chargeable treatments will be required.
