Should I get SMP or a hair transplant?
Full comparisonA transplant moves your own hair and takes months to show. SMP shows the same day, but grows nothing. The answer depends on how much hair you have left, not on which one is better.
See the comparisonWhat does it cost, and can I pay monthly?
Rates by stageBetween $1,800 and $5,800 depending on your stage of hair loss, all in, with nothing added at the end. Monthly plans start at $0 down.
See the ratesDoes it hurt? And how long does it last?
Short answerMost people call it uncomfortable, not painful. The pigment fades over the years and gets touched up — it isn't a tattoo that stays put forever.

SMP for Women: Adding Density to Thinning Hair and Widening Parts
Scalp micropigmentation is not just a shaved-head treatment. For women with thinning hair, a widening part or a see-through crown, SMP adds density underneath the hair you already have — no shaving, no surgery. Here is how it works and who it suits.

SMP vs. Hair Fibers and Concealers: What Happens After the Shower
Hair fibers and concealer sprays can make thinning hair look fuller in two minutes. They can also end up on your pillow, your collar and your hands. Here is an honest comparison with SMP — daily routine, bad-weather days, cost over time, and which one makes sense for you.

The Norwood Scale Explained: Where You Are and What SMP Can Do
The Norwood scale is the chart doctors and SMP artists use to describe male hair loss, from a slightly receding hairline to a fully bald top. Here is how to find your stage, what each one means, and what SMP typically looks like at every point on the scale.
Read more · 5 minWhat SMP is, in three paragraphs
Scalp micropigmentation deposits pigment in the top layer of the scalp, dot by dot, imitating a follicle cut close to the skin. It isn't a tattoo: the needle goes shallower, the pigment is formulated to fade rather than turn blue, and the result gets touched up every few years.
It doesn't grow hair. What it does is give back the shadow that hair loss erased — the hairline, density at the crown, the contrast that makes a shaved head read as a decision rather than a loss.
A session runs two to four hours, and it takes two or three of them a week apart. You leave the studio and go back to work the next day.
Keep the hair
you still have
SMP restores the look of density. Minoxidil helps protect the hair that is still alive. It is one of the few over-the-counter actives with real evidence behind it, and the one clients kept asking us about, so we stocked the bottle we actually recommend in consultations: Microfy Minoxidil 5% Foam.
