FAQs
- 01SMP could be a great fit if you want a fuller-looking hairline, more density in thinning areas, scar camouflage, or extra coverage after a hair transplant. It can also be a good option if you want a non-surgical solution. If you are unsure, book a free consultation. We will talk through your goals and help you see what is possible.
- 02SMP is a form of cosmetic tattooing. Small pigment impressions are placed on the scalp to create the visual effect of hair follicles, rather than a decorative illustration. The aim is a subtle appearance that fits your existing hair and chosen style. It is sometimes called a hair tattoo. Results vary, and no treatment can be guaranteed to be undetectable. Read our What is SMP page and explore the Gallery before your free consultation.
- 03The number and length of appointments depend on the treatment area and your individual plan. Your consultation is the place to confirm the proposed session schedule and what each appointment involves. Ask which areas are included, how progress will be reviewed and how follow-up appointments are arranged. We do not promise one fixed timetable for every client. See starting prices per session.
- 04SMP is intended to provide a lasting cosmetic appearance, but pigment can fade and maintenance needs vary. There is no single touch-up timetable that applies to everyone. Before treatment, ask about the expected appearance over time, the aftercare for your plan and whether future maintenance would be quoted separately.
- 05Your existing hair, hairstyle and preferred result guide the pigment and design discussion. The aim is to blend the appearance of the treated area with the surrounding hair. An exact or flawless match cannot be guaranteed. Use your consultation to review relevant examples and agree on realistic expectations.
- 06Pigment selection is discussed in relation to your existing hair and the style you intend to wear. A shaved-hairline look and a density treatment have different visual goals. Bring reference photographs and ask Georges how the proposed shade and design relate to your own hair. The final appearance varies between individuals.
- 07SMP can be discussed as a way to camouflage the appearance of areas affected by hair loss. It does not treat alopecia or its underlying cause. Suitability needs individual assessment. Discuss your scalp condition and any medical treatment with your clinician, and explain your circumstances at the SMP consultation before proceeding.
- 08People experience the procedure differently, so we do not describe it as pain-free. At your consultation, ask what sensations to expect and how your comfort will be managed. Discuss any concerns before treatment and follow the preparation and aftercare guidance provided for your own plan.

- 10Keep the area clean and dry for the first few days. Avoid heavy sweating, swimming, saunas, and direct sun while the scalp settles. Do not pick or scratch the area. We will give you clear aftercare steps for your treatment, so you know exactly what to do.
- 11Most clients will need a touch-up at some stage to keep the result looking fresh. How often this is needed depends on your skin, lifestyle, and the look you choose. We can guide you on maintenance once your treatment is complete.
- 12Not always. It depends on the style and result you want. Some clients come in with very short hair, and others choose a shaved look for the best blend. We will talk through the best option during your free consultation.
- 13Yes. SMP can help blend the look of scars from hair transplants, injuries, or surgery. We place the pigment to reduce contrast and create a more even look. The result depends on the scar type and how the skin has healed, so we assess this during your consultation.
