The application looks like "tiny dots of ink".

SMP vs. Hair Transplants, what you need to know.


Introduction

It's no secret that hair loss is a common problem. Many people suffer from it and are looking for ways to get their hair back. Hair transplants can be an effective solution, but they come with a lot of downsides.


Most patients get great results in just one or two sessions with SMP

The average number of sessions need with SMP is about 3, and the results are semi-permanent. The process is safe, undetectable and affordable.


Hair transplants take more time, require surgery or even multiple surgeries are required to complete the procedure and get the desired look. After a hair transplant surgery, you may have scars on your scalp or neck which can be easily seen by others.


SMP is non-invasive, unlike FUE where hair is removed from the donor area (back & sides) via a small incision.


SMP gives you hair-like tattoos that look natural even close up

SMP gives you hair-like tattoos that look natural even close up. Unlike other tattoos, SMP impressions are placed throughout the scalp to create the appearance of hair follicles and individual hairs.


SMPs are not painful like hair transplants can be

Hair transplants can be painful. They require incisions, which are made by a surgical instrument, and this can be pretty painful. SMP, on the other hand, does not require any surgery.


The pain level of SMP is low and mildly discomfortable during treatment; in fact, patients frequently fall asleep during the SMP treatment. Although it’s true that both treatments involve some discomfort. SMP is much less painful than hair transplants and the healing time is just days.


SMP give you the hairline you always wanted

SMP allows exact control over the finished look of the hairline, want a widow's peak? no problem. Straight hair line in front like Drake? no problem. The SMP artist is in full control.


SMPs don't require a long recovery time

SMP is much less invasive than a hair transplant, and as such, there are no worries about taking time off work in order to recover. Furthermore, there is also little to no pain associated with SMP,  so you don’t have to worry about having a sore scalp or any other discomfort. Most importantly, however, is that the cost of an SMP treatment is significantly cheaper than a full-on hair transplant.


The benefits of SMPs are so extensive that they are considered the best option for balding patients

SMP is considered the best option for balding or thinning patients because of its extensive benefits. They are less expensive than hair transplants, more natural-looking than hair transplants and have faster recovery than hair transplants.


Conclusion

While hair transplants are still a popular option for those who want to cover their balding areas, SMP is becoming increasingly common. This is because they offer many benefits that cannot be found in other treatments such as the ability to cover large areas of the scalp quickly and painlessly with zero side effects when compared to hair transplants. The side effects list is very long. If you're worried about losing your hair or you are experiencing hair loss and want to change that then we would suggest talking with us.
