The SMP Process
From your initial free consultation to your final aftercare steps, my comprehensive process ensures that you achieve the natural, hyper-realistic hairline you desire. I guide you through every step of your transformation.
Free Consultation & Custom Plan
During your initial consultation, I deeply analyze your requirements. I factor in variables such as your age, gender, specific hair loss pattern, and skin condition. This allows me to create a highly detailed, individualized plan that aligns perfectly with your desired outcome. I can even start the first session on the same day if you're ready.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
4 Days Before
Begin to moisturize twice a day, morning and night, using a non-irritating fragrance-free lotion. Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours before the procedure, as it acts as a blood thinner.
The Night Before
Wash and cut your hair to your desired length. Avoid aspirin, blood thinners (unless approved by a doctor), and topical products containing alcohol.
The Day Of
Make sure you're adequately hydrated to allow your skin to accept the pigment optimally. Exfoliate your scalp gently to remove any dead skin cells.
The Treatment Sessions
Session 1: Foundation (Up to 5 hours)
I map the shape of your scalp to design your new hairline and begin filling the thinning areas. A lighter foundational layer of dots is applied. While you may not see a dramatic difference yet, this initial layer sets the stage for realistic depth.
Session 2: Density (2–4 hours)
Usually scheduled 7–14 days later, this session adds density and texture to the foundation while allowing the treatment to be refined after healing.
Optional Refinement Session
If an additional session is recommended after healing, I refine texture, density, shade, and any remaining areas to create a natural-looking result tailored to your scalp and treatment goals.
The Aftercare Guide
After each session, follow these simple steps to avoid disturbing your new pigment deposits and ensure the pigment heals as optimally as possible.
- Days 1-4: Do not wash your head or sweat heavily. Keep the scalp completely dry and avoid sun exposure.
- Days 5-6: You may begin to lightly wash your scalp with a gentle, fragrance-free soap. Continue to avoid excessive sweating.
- Day 7+: You can resume your normal routine, including gym workouts and normal showering. Moisturize daily.
- Day 30+: Once all sessions are complete, continue to use sunscreen on your scalp to prevent fading and moisturize regularly to keep the skin healthy.
