Are you considering a move from a traditional hair system to Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)? At SMP HQ, we specialise in making this transition as smooth and rewarding as possible. Our expert team is dedicated to delivering exceptional results that enhance your natural look and be the last step in your hair loss journey.
We recognise the significance of this transition and are committed to providing support every step of the way, addressing any concerns or questions you have a long the way.
Firstly, what is SMP?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a fast, effective, and long-lasting solution to a range of hair loss conditions. It uses a very fine needle to tattoo tiny dots onto your scalp.
SMP is sometimes referred to as a hair tattoo. While tattooing is an art form, SMP is an exact science. Our practitioners have a surgeon’s touch, creating hairlines that have a natural-looking softness—and leaving you with a fuller head of hair.
Why Transition to SMP?
Choosing to switch from a hair system to SMP offers a range of benefits:
1. Effortless Maintenance
Say goodbye to the daily upkeep of hair systems. SMP is a low-maintenance solution that requires minimal effort to maintain. Enjoy a hassle-free look that doesn’t demand constant attention.
2. Natural Results
Hair systems can sometimes appear artificial or require adjustments to look natural. SMP provides a realistic and seamless appearance, with pigments applied to match your hair’s natural growth pattern, giving you a flawless finish.
3. Long-Term Value
While the initial investment in SMP may be higher, it is often more cost-effective in the long run. Unlike hair systems that need regular replacements and maintenance, SMP offers a durable solution with lasting results.
4. Enhanced Comfort
Hair systems can be cumbersome and may cause discomfort. SMP, being a non-invasive procedure, ensures greater comfort and freedom without the need for adhesives or external attachments.
Hair System vs SMP
Hair systems, such as wigs or toupees, are a temporary solution for hair loss. They cover the scalp with external materials, offering various levels of realism but requiring ongoing maintenance and posing a risk of shifting or displacement.
In contrast, Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical technique that applies pigments to the scalp, simulating the appearance of natural hair follicles. SMP delivers a seamless, natural look with minimal upkeep, lasts for years, and enhances comfort and flexibility in your daily life. The decision between hair systems and SMP ultimately hinges on your personal preferences, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
The Transition Process at SMP HQ
Wondering what the different stages of SMP treatment are? Below is our process. All you have to do to get started is book a consultation.
Initial Consultation
This is where we get to know you. Our practitioners will take the time to understand the look you want, and your scalp condition. Then, we’ll show you how our SMP solution can achieve what you’re looking for.
From here, we’ll create a customised SMP plan that takes several things into account; things like your hairline, desired hair density, and general aesthetic.
First
Treatment
The big day has arrived. On your treatment day, we’ll begin by ensuring you’re comfortable and all your questions are answered. We’ll then use state-of-the-art equipment to apply pigment to the upper dermis of your scalp.
At the end of this precise process, you’ll leave the clinic with instant results. Immediate impact is the great promise of SMP treatment.
Follow-Up Procedures
In the majority of cases, you’ll need a second appointment in order to get the full effect of your SMP treatment. While the first treatment will provide the bulk of the look, SMP is about precision; and we’re perfectionists.
So in the follow-up procedures, we’ll add touch-ups and fill out the look with adjustments to the density and darkness of the pigment. One month after the second session, a third is often recommended to apply the finishing touches.
Post-Treatment Care
Part of the SMP HQ difference is our after-care and support. We’ll provide you with comprehensive post-care instructions. With this info, our clients achieve long-lasting outcomes with optimal healing times.
From here, our clients may choose to have periodic touch-ups down the track. These can be expected every 3-5 years. But we’re always happy for our clients to get in touch and ask questions.
