Common Questions

2–4 sessions standard. Session 1: density and outline. Session 2: layer depth and blend. Session 3: perfecting and sharpness, 10–30 days apart. More sessions if treating large areas or scar camouflage.
Yes. Pricing is per session and quoted after scalp assessment. All sessions are booked separately and charged at current perfecting rates.
Natural shaved-head look. We implant micro-dots that mimic real follicles. Colour and size are matched to your natural hair and skin undertone. Grows out like 5 o'clock shadow, not a blocky tattoo.
No. SMP is not a hair transplant and no hair is moved or implanted. FUE/FUT transplants move follicles from a donor area to the bald area. SMP is follicle simulation — we tattoo pigment to create a density illusion. No incisions, no stitches, no donor scarring, no downtime.
No. SMP is cosmetic, not a growth treatment. We tattoo pigment dots that look like shaved follicles. It creates the illusion of density and a fuller hairline, but doesn't regrow hair or stop hair loss. For actual growth, SMP pairs well with PRP, Minoxidil, Finasteride, or a hair transplant.
Discomfort is minimal to moderate. Scalp is more sensitive than skin. Medical-grade numbing applied before and during. Most clients describe it as tapping or vibration. We take breaks.
Surface healing 4–7 days per session. Redness settles 24–48 hours. Full colour settles in 4 weeks. Final density is visible after the final session.
Up to 8 years with a colour refresh in between. Fades gradually, never green or blue. Sun exposure and strong actives speed up fading. Annual touch-up recommended and charged separately.
No. We use medical-grade SMP pigment from Solid Ink USA. It's formulated specifically for scalp skin so it fades to a soft grey/brown, never green or blue like body tattoos. Colour choice and depth are custom matched to your hair and skin undertone to prevent discolouration.
Yes — that's the point. Keep hair at grade 0–1 for the realistic shaved look.
Rare. Pigments are medical-grade, iron-oxide based, EU compliant. Patch test available on request. Tell us if you react to hair dye or tattoo ink. We use Solid pigment for SMP from USA — you can check their website for ingredients.
Prep: Wash scalp 24 hours before. No alcohol, caffeine, or blood thinners 24 hours before. Drink 2 litres of water the day of your appointment. No hair dye for 7 days before.
Aftercare: Keep scalp moist with recommended aftercare for 5 days. No sweating, swimming, gym, or saunas for 5 days. No picking/scraping. Moisturise with the provided balm. SPF 50 daily once healed — sun is the #1 fader.
Mild. Slight redness and tightness for 24–48 hours.
Yes. We treat female pattern hair loss, parting widening, traction alopecia, and post-FUE/FUT scars. Creates density without shaving all hair. Custom approach for long hair vs a buzz cut look.
Yes. FUT/FUE strip scars, burn scars, alopecia areata. 3–4 sessions needed for scar tissue. Results depend on scar type and skin elasticity. Doctor clearance needed for keloid history.
We treat: Male/female pattern baldness, receding hairlines, thinning crown, diffuse thinning, scar camouflage, alopecia.
Note: Results vary based on scalp condition, skin type, and aftercare. We cannot tattoo over active scalp conditions, severe psoriasis, or keloid-prone skin without doctor clearance.
Diabetes, autoimmune conditions, blood thinners, or keloid history. Written permission needed for a safe treatment plan.
Every scalp is custom designed for your face shape and hairline age. No straight boy-band lines. We age-match your hairline for natural results. No stencil work.
SMP sessions can run several hours, so a small R200 deposit protects your slot from last-minute cancellations. It's deducted from the final cost of your treatment on the day.

My hairline looks completely natural again. I sent a photo, got a quote within a day, and the results speak for themselves. Life-changing.

Had an old FUE scar covered and honestly you can't tell it's there anymore. Professional, precise, and worth every rand.

The crown fill gave my thinning hair so much more density. No one has guessed it's SMP — they just say my hair looks thicker.
