the process of smp
INITIAL CONSULTATION
It all starts with a conversation.
Your SMP journey begins with a consultation where we’ll talk about your hair concerns, what you’d like to achieve and whether SMP is the right treatment for you. We’ll assess your scalp, hair loss or thinning, discuss your desired result and create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, go through the process and receive your personalised quote.
FIRST APPOINTMENT
This is where the transformation begins.
Your first SMP session is all about building the foundations. We’ll confirm your treatment plan, hairline or density goals and make sure you’re completely happy before we begin. The first layer of pigment impressions is carefully placed to create the base of your result. We start conservatively. SMP is built gradually over multiple sessions to achieve the most natural finish possible as discussed in your initial consultation.
SECOND APPOINTMENT
Now we build the detail.
Once your first session has healed, we can see how your scalp has retained the pigment and begin adding further density, depth and definition. Your second session allows us to refine the work, fill any areas that need a little more coverage and layer the pigment impressions for a fuller, more realistic result. Depending on your treatment plan and how your skin heals, an additional session may be recommended to perfect the final result.
AFTERCARE AND HEALING
Protect your new look.
Great SMP doesn’t stop when you leave the studio. Following your aftercare correctly is an important part of achieving the best healed result. You’ll receive clear instructions on how to care for your scalp, including when you can wash it, exercise, shave and return to your usual routine. As your scalp heals, the pigment will soften and settle into a more natural appearance revealing your finished result.
