Frequently Asked Questions About SMP
What is SMP - Scalp Micropigmentation?
SMP is a game-changer for anyone dealing with hair loss. It’s basically a specialized tattoo technique that adds pigment to your scalp, creating the illusion of real hair follicles. And the best part? It’s non-invasive, long-lasting, and a total alternative to traditional hair restoration methods.
Will the ink change colour?
Worried your SMP ink might turn blue or green over time? Don’t be. We use only the good stuff – all-black, carbon-based inks with zero blue or green undertones. Your SMP will stay looking fresh and natural, no weird color shifts here.

Do I need to shave my head before SMP Treatments?
Not always. It really depends on your unique situation. Sometimes shaving is necessary for the best results, but other times you might be good to go with the hair you’ve got. We’ll figure it out together during your consultation. Our SMP pros will check out your hair and scalp, and give you the solution on what’s best for you.
Is SMP different between women and men?
For women, SMP is all about creating a soft, natural-looking hairline that’s tailored to your unique shape. We’ll work on subtly boosting hair density and blending it seamlessly with your existing locks. And don’t worry, we’ll match your color perfectly and address any hair loss patterns you’re dealing with.
What can I expect during a touch-up session?
During a touch-up session, the practitioner will assess the SMP results, identify areas that need attention, and make adjustments as needed. This may involve adding more pigment, refining the shape or density of the treatment area, or correcting any colour inconsistencies.
How long does each SMP session take?
Typically, you’re looking at 2-4 hours per session. We usually do 3+ sessions to get you looking your best.
How long does it take to heal after an SMP session?
Usually around 7-10 days. Just chill, follow our after-care tips, and let your scalp do its thing. You’ll be looking and feeling great in no time!
Do you have a financing option?
Yes, we offer easy and affordable payment plans through Medicard. Allowing you to pay for treatments and procedures on a monthly basis.
How long does SMP last?
SMP is long-lasting. We’re talking several years. It really depends on your skin type, how much sun you get, and your lifestyle habits. But with a little TLC, you can enjoy the benefits of SMP for many years.
How many sessions will I need?
Each session is around 2-4 hours, and we usually do 3 sessions. Sometimes, we might need to do more to get everything just right. These extra sessions are where we fine-tune your look, making sure you’re feeling confident and loving your new reflection. Book a consultation so we can start your personal plan.
Can I get a touch-up session if I’ve had SMP for several years?
Yes, touch-up sessions can be performed even years after the initial treatment. However, the practitioner may need to assess the condition of the scalp and adjust their technique accordingly.
