Frequently Asked Questions
Deciding on a procedure is a big deal, and we want you to feel completely comfortable with your choice. With over 25 years of experience, we provide straightforward, honest information so you can move forward with confidence and get the results you're looking for.
Think of SMP as a specialized medical-grade tattoo. We use tiny needles and different pigment tones to replicate the look of natural hair follicles. Whether you want to recreate a shaved head look or add thickness to thinning areas, it creates an incredibly realistic appearance.
Most of our clients are surprised by how little it hurts. On a scale of one to ten, most people rate it around a two or three. It is much less invasive than a traditional tattoo or a hair transplant, and many people don't feel much of anything during their session.
There really isn't any downtime; you can get back to your normal routine immediately. Your scalp might feel a little tender for the first few hours, but that usually fades by the evening. Any redness typically disappears within about three days.
This is a permanent cosmetic treatment that typically looks great for anywhere from four to ten years. We usually recommend a quick touch-up every four to six years just to keep the density looking sharp and fresh.
Yes, we specialize in camouflaging scars from hair transplants or other procedures using careful blending techniques. We just need the scar tissue to be at least one year old to ensure the skin is fully healed before we begin.
It usually takes three to four sessions to achieve a natural, high-density look. Your first appointment is the longest—typically two to four hours—and subsequent sessions get shorter as we add detail and finish the look.
To keep your lashes looking full, we recommend coming in for a fill every two to three weeks. The biggest thing is to avoid waterproof mascara. Stick to products specifically designed for extensions so they don't fall out prematurely.
For the best results, we suggest a treatment every four to six weeks. Our estheticians customize every facial—including peels and microdermabrasion—to target your specific skin concerns and help you reach your goals.

Everyone’s skin is different, and sometimes an FAQ doesn't cover everything you need to know.
