QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a specialised cosmetic tattooing technique—sometimes called a medical hair tattoo—that addresses hair loss by replicating the look of natural hair follicles. The result is the appearance of a clean, shaved style. SMP is suitable for all stages of hair loss, from thinning areas to full scalp baldness.
For optimal results, please avoid sweat and moisture for at least four days following each session. Refrain from exposing the treated area to water, creams, or lotions during this time. Once this initial healing period has passed, you may gradually resume physical activity at a comfortable pace
Every individual’s skin responds differently. Immediately after your treatment, our technician will cleanse the area and apply a soothing, anti-redness topical to ensure you leave the clinic looking and feeling your best. Any mild redness typically subsides within a day or two, allowing you to enjoy your refreshed appearance with confidence.
The results of a fully completed treatment can endure for many years, influenced by lifestyle and individual immune response. To preserve a consistently refined and effortlessly polished look, many clients opt for a touch-up session every two to three years, ensuring their style remains impeccable

Some mild discomfort is to be expected — much like any tattoo procedure — though most clients rate it only 3 out of 10. For the most comfortable experience, we recommend arriving well-nourished and in good health. Regularly moisturizing your scalp twice daily in the days and weeks leading up to your session will soften the skin and help optimize results. Ultimately, the confidence and transformation you’ll enjoy after addressing your hair loss will far outweigh any brief sensations during the treatment.

Strokes
Creates the appearance of individual hair strands rather than dots. While the initial result can look appealing, it is best suited for short-term wear. Over time, there is a higher likelihood of dermal staining and pigment migration. As the pigment ages, strokes tend to soften and flatten, resulting in a less defined and less crisp appearance.
Dotting
Dotting is the industry gold standard, supported by decades of proven results. It delivers a cleaner, sharper, and more refined finish with superior longevity. The technique minimizes pigment merging and blurring over time, maintaining its clarity and structure far better in the long term.
SMP is a highly versatile treatment, perfectly suited for women. Whether you’re looking to restore density to thinning hair, subtly enhance your hairline, or camouflage scarring, each session is bespoke and designed to achieve a natural, elegant result that complements your features

Surgical solutions like hair transplants are often expensive and painful, with the added drawbacks of visible scarring and lengthy downtime.

Products such as fibres, sprays, and medications offer short-term results, demand daily upkeep, and frequently fail during physical activity.
• SMP is Non-Invasive & Pain-Free
SMP requires no surgery, no incisions, and no downtime—making it a far more comfortable option than traditional procedures.
• Immediate, Long-Lasting Results
Results are visible right away and can last for years with minimal maintenance, unlike temporary topical solutions.
• Natural, Consistent Appearance
SMP creates the look of real hair follicles, delivering uniform, realistic coverage that doesn’t fade, smear, or wash away.
• Active-Lifestyle Friendly
Sweat, swimming, rain, and workouts won’t affect SMP—no daily touch-ups or reapplication required.
• Cost-Effective
Compared to hair transplants and ongoing product purchases, SMP is a one-time investment with lasting value.
• No Scarring or Recovery Time
There’s no healing period, no visible scars, and you can return to normal activities almost immediately.
