FAQ's

SMP is a cosmetic tattoo that can create the look of hair follicles on a shaven head or can create the illusion of density on longer, thinning hair.

After your consultation or viewing images of your scalp and evaluating your unique situation, we’ll be able to suggest a length your hair should be cut before the procedure.

Yes it does. But we have pigment to match almost any hair follicle. 

The honest answer is that SMP can be mildly uncomfortable. Some describe it as painful while others report that the pain level is not that bad at all. So it’s impossible to predict how much discomfort you will experience during the procedure, as pain tolerances are subjective.


* We do offer numbing cream with lidocaine for those who are concerned about the pain.

SMP typically takes 10-14 days to fully heal. 

We suggest spacing sessions out 10-14 days for best results.

We don’t charge per session. We charge for the finished product.

The cost for SMP ranges from $1,000 – $5,000 for the finished product. This includes all sessions and any touchups that may be required.

SMP typically takes 2-3 sessions to achieve the best results. You’ll get an estimate during your free consultation about the amount of sessions that will be required.

SMP sessions typically take between 2-3 hours for a full head. Smaller areas like and hairline fill, targeting the temples only or hair transplant scars typically take between 1-2 hours per session.

Each case is unique and there are a number of variables such as hair length, hair colour and your ultimate goals with SMP that should be discussed prior to your treatment.
