SMP FAQ'S

Most of our clients tell us the pain is very minimal, some have said they have found SMP relaxing. It is hard to answer this question as everybody's pain tolerance is different. 

In order for your treatment to remain at it's very best we recommend a top up session between 1-2 years. Scalp Micropigmentation treatments can last longer. We are all different with different skin types so these times may vary. 

Scalp Micropigmentation is very different to a normal tattoo. We undertake specialist training to do this procedure and use specific pigments that retain their colour over time (though they may fade). Furthermore, the SMP needle does not penetrate the skin as deeply as a normal tattoo. 

Scalp Micropigmentation can be used for all hair types and colours. 

No. 

SMP density treatment can be performed throughout existing hair to give the illusion of fuller looking hair. In some cases where hair is extremely sparse we may recommend that a shaven look may be the best option for a natural outcome.

No!! 

Please try not to sweat for 5 days following the procedure. We recommend avoiding the gym, swimming, saunas and getting the head wet for the very best end results.

No not at all. The process of scalp micropigmentation does not disturb existing hair follicles in anyway.

Most clients tell us this is not necessary however you can take paracetamol or ibuprofen. PLEASE do not take aspirin before the treatment as it can cause bleeding.

We take up to £500 max in cash, anything more can be made by a credit or debit card or bank transfer prior to treatment.  Please note card payments carry at 3% charge. Payment must be made on the day of treatment, before treatment starts. 

Everyone is different. Some clients tell us the redness faded the same day whilst some tell us it took a few days. 

Yes you do! 

 There is a 10 day - 2 week gap between each session of SMP. 

Scalp Micropigmentation is a process and it is essential for us to check at each stage/session that we have proper healing of the scalp, we can alter hue of pigment if necessary and make adjusts to complete the look.  

Until the 3rd session is complete, the treatment is only half finished. 

In some cases a 4th session may be required.

That really depends on how large an area we are working on? Treatments can usually take from 2-5 hours. Top up sessions usually 2-3 hours.

Scalp micropigmentation treatment is perfectly safe. Great care is taken to ensure cleanliness of equipment and disposable needles are used and disposed of after every use. 

Absolutely not.

 Every client is asked for signed permission for photographs to be taken before a treatment. We would love to add you to our Hermoso wall of fame however we understand privacy is paramount and absolutely optional. If you are receiving any model discount your photo will be expected to be used on our site or social media however we can blank your face should you wish. 

We recommend waiting 9 months after a hair transplant, HOWEVER this will depend on how well your scalp has healed from your transplant. Most hair transplant clinics will want to see you for a review some time after your procedure to check your results and to see that your scalp has healed as it should. If you are unsure please contact your hair transplant provider for guidance.

In short, SMP is allowed under Islamic law. 

 There was a ruling from the European Council For Fatwa and Research back in 2016 which stated that SMP was permitted under Islamic law because it’s purpose is to treat an ailment rather than to modify the body.  Baldness is considered to be the same as any other kind of ailment and treating it in any way is allowed under Islamic law, whether that treatment involves hair transplanting or colouring. In fact, it is viewed as being similar to using permissible treatments to treat burns on the skin.  The treatment is also only temporary, with touch-ups being required over time to restore the result, which only reinforces that ruling that SMP is not haram.
