SMP For Women

During the procedure, specialised equipment with pigments designed specifically for SMP is used to methodically apply micro dots to your scalp to give the appearance of hair follicles.

Yes! We work with you to design and blend the shade of pigment that is natural in appearance and blends with your remaining hair and skin tone.

Yes. We use nothing less than medical grade pigments. With time (around 4-5 years) and sun exposure, the pigment can lighten and it may be necessary to have a touch up to make it look a bit fresher and keep it looking at its best.

Following your procedure, it is vital that you take care of the treated area. We strongly recommend using a good quality sun block and a hat. This will help to ensure that your SMP treatment stays looking as it was originally intended, plus it will protect you from harmful UV rays

Many hair transplant clients who have had treatments such as Alopecia Reductions, Scalp Reductions, Plugs or Flaps that do not heal properly suffer from visible scars around the scalp. FUT or strip harvesting scars are linear scars and often run from one ear to another – in some cases on top of each other, if multiple transplants were performed.

Those people who have lost hair because of these treatments, or who did not have a successful treatment, find themselves restricted in hair styles and seek alternative camouflage options.

Shaving the hair to hide the thinning and balding area will reveal the scars, while growing the hair will make the thin and balding area more obvious. SMP can help with this by placing the pigment in the affected area to create a more dense appearance.

FUE or Follicle Unit Extraction can leave whitish dots at the back of the scalp, where the hairs have been extracted from the donor areas. Traditionally, most hair transplant surgeons use a 0.8mm or smaller round blade. In most cases, this is not an issue, but if the patient is prone to scarring or if the surgeon uses a punch that is too big, the patient can be left with a spotted scarred appearance across the donor area.

Most clients who opt for SMP have fantastic results, regardless of whether they choose to keep their hair shaved or longer.
