Important To Know

SMP Is About Appearance. Know What It Can And Can't Do.

May Involve
  • Creating the appearance of greater density
  • Creating a closely shaved-head appearance
  • Camouflaging certain scalp scars
  • Personalised pigment placement
  • Follow-up and possible touch-ups
Important Limitations
  • SMP does not grow new hair
  • It does not treat every cause of hair loss
  • It may not be suitable for every scalp condition
  • Pigments can fade over time
  • Individual results vary

SMP is long-lasting, but pigment fading can occur and periodic touch-ups may be recommended.
