Step by step
From the first conversation to the final session, here's exactly what happens and how long each part takes. No surprises.
Before any pigment
Optional, and free. Upload a photo and see a preview of SMP on you. Try it
Talk through your hair loss, what you want and your budget with Julian. You leave with an exact quote.
Julian draws your hairline on you, matched to your face and age. Nothing goes in until you approve it.
The work
The first, lighter layer of pigment. 2 to 4 hours. Most clients rate it 2 to 4 out of 10 for discomfort.
7 to 14 days later. More density, plus any changes you want to the hairline or shade.
Final density and detail. After this, it reads as real hair up close and in any light.
After
The days after. Some redness for a day or so is normal. Most people go back to work the next day. Julian walks you through aftercare at your first session.
How long it lasts. Typically 4 to 6 years before a quick touch-up session to keep it sharp.
What it isn't. SMP is a cosmetic tattoo. It recreates the look of hair follicles. It does not grow hair or stop hair loss.
