FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
SOLUTION 1 : HAIR RESTORATION TREATMENT
WHY DOES DHT HORMONE CAUSE HAIR LOSS? AND WHY IS A DHT BLOCKER CRUCIAL? HOW DO WE BLOCK DHT?
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a hormone made from testosterone by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. However, while it supports male traits like facial hair and muscle mass, it also harms scalp hair. In fact, people who are genetically sensitive to DHT often experience follicle shrinkage. As a result, this shrinkage leads to thinning and balding. Moreover, targeted treatments can correct hair loss, thinning, and patchy areas. Therefore, they support fuller, stronger, and healthier growth.
🔹 How DHT Affects Hair Follicles
First, DHT binds to receptors in the hair follicles. Next, this binding causes the follicle to shrink, a process known as miniaturization. As a result, the follicle produces thinner and weaker strands, which increase the rate of overall hair thinning. Finally, over time, the follicle stops producing hair altogether, leading to visible thinning and balding.
🔹 Why Some People Are More Affected
In fact, people with a family history of androgenetic alopecia—commonly known as male or female pattern baldness and hair thinning—are more sensitive to the effects of DHT.
🔹 Areas Most Affected
In men, hair loss often begins at the hairline and crown. By contrast, in women, it usually appears as diffuse thinning across the scalp.
🔹 Why is a dhut blocker important for hair growth?
First, a DHT blocker stops the hormone from attaching to receptors in the follicle. Next, this protection prevents miniaturization, keeping follicles open and active. Moreover, once follicles are no longer under attack, they can start producing thicker, healthier strands again. Finally, DHT blockers maintain the long-term health of the scalp, giving new hair the best chance to thrive.
🔹 Why It Matters
Without blocking DHT, even the most advanced treatments may fail. As a result, follicles continue to shrink, and hair becomes weaker with each cycle. In fact, this is why many hair restoration programmes combine growth stimulation (like Cold Jet Plasma and Ozone) with DHT-blocking support.

SOLUTION 2 : SMP (SCULP MICROPIGMENTATION)
🔹 How Many SMP Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions required depends on your desired look, the level of coverage needed, and your individual hair goals.
✅First Session: Even Fullness : Creates an even, fuller appearance with approximately 60% denser-looking hair.
✅Second Session: Increased Density *Optional : Builds additional coverage and depth, creating approximately 85% denser-looking hair.
✅Third Session: Maximum Density *Optional: Completes the layering process for a fuller, more defined result with up to 100% density.
The total number of sessions is entirely dependent on each client’s desired outcome, natural hair condition, scalp visibility, and required level of density.
🔹When Will I See Results?
One of the biggest benefits of SMP is that results are visible immediately after your first session. After the first treatment, the scalp already appears fuller and more evenly covered. The density is then enhanced further during the second and third sessions. Final results are usually seen once the pigment has fully settled – 7 days.
🔹Is SMP Painful?
Most patients describe SMP as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. The sensation is often compared to light scratching or tiny pinpricks on the scalp. Sensitivity can vary depending on the client and the area being treated, but the procedure is generally well tolerated.
🔹Is SMP suitable for men & women?
Yes. SMP is suitable for both men and women. It is especially effective for men & women experiencing thinning hair, visible scalp areas, or reduced density through the parting or crown.
🔹Is SMP suitable for bald patches?
Yes. SMP is ideal for bald patches, thinning areas, and areas where the scalp is visible through the hair.
🔹Does SMP look natural?
Yes, SMP is designed to look natural and blend with your existing hair and scalp tone.
🔹Can SMP create a new hairline?
Yes. SMP can be used to create the appearance of a more defined hairline. The design will be customised to suit your face shape, age, and desired look.
🔹Can SMP cover a receding hairline?
Yes. SMP is commonly used to improve the appearance of a receding hairline by creating the illusion of tiny follicles along the hairline area.
🔹Can SMP be done if I still have hair?
Yes. SMP is very effective for clients who still have hair but want the appearance of more density and less visible scalp.
🔹Is there downtime after SMP?
There is minimal downtime. Most clients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment, provided they follow the recommended aftercare instructions.
🔹Can I wash my hair after SMP?
You will need to avoid washing the treated area for the advised period after your session. Your practitioner will explain exactly when it is safe to wash your scalp.
🔹Is SMP permanent?
SMP is long-lasting, but pigment may gradually fade over time. Maintenance or touch-up sessions may be recommended in the future to keep the result looking fresh. With correct care SMP can last 3-5 years.
🔹Will the colour match my hair?
Yes. The pigment shade is selected to blend with your natural hair colour and scalp tone for the most realistic result.
🔹Is SMP a tatoo? What is the difference?|
No. While SMP uses pigment and a needle, it is not the same as a conventional tattoo.
The main difference is that SMP is a specialised cosmetic procedure designed to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles.
Key Differences:
✅ Depth: SMP pigment is implanted much shallower (0.5mm) into the skin than a traditional tattoo (2-3mm).
✅ Pigment: SMP uses specialised pigments formulated for the scalp, designed to maintain a natural follicle appearance over time.
✅ Technique: SMP creates thousands of tiny follicle impressions that mimic real hair growth, while tattoos use lines, shading, and artistic designs.
✅ Appearance: The goal of SMP is to create the illusion of fuller, denser hair that looks completely natural and undetectable.
✅ Fading: SMP gradually softens and fades over time, allowing for adjustments as your hair loss pattern changes.
In short, SMP is a highly specialised hair restoration procedure that uses cosmetic pigmentation techniques to create the appearance of a fuller head of hair—not a conventional tattoo. ✨
🔹Can SMP be combined with hair restoration treatments?
Yes. SMP can complement medical hair restoration treatments by creating an immediate visual improvement while other treatments work on stimulating natural hair growth.
🔹What is the aftercare?
To ensure the best possible results after your SMP treatment:
✅ Keep the scalp dry for the advised period
✅ Avoid heavy sweating, gym training, and strenuous exercise for a few days
✅ Avoid steam rooms, saunas, and swimming pools
✅ Protect the scalp from direct sun exposure
✅ Do not scratch, rub, or pick the treated area
✅ Avoid applying harsh products to the scalp
Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare instructions following your treatment.
