Question 1

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Some people describe a light scratching sensation; others find parts of the scalp more sensitive. Comfort varies. We discuss your concerns and take breaks when needed.

Question 2

How long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Pigment can remain visible for years, but it gradually fades. Skin, sun exposure and aftercare affect the result. A future touch-up may help refresh it; there is no guaranteed lifespan.

Question 3

How many sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

Most results take 2–4 sessions, spaced at least a week apart. Your scalp, the area and healing between visits determine your individual plan.

Question 4

What is healing like?

Accepted Answer

The dots look darker at first. Mild redness, tenderness and light flaking may occur. Pigment softens as the skin settles. Follow your artist’s written aftercare instructions.

Question 5

Can women get it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SMP can reduce the contrast between hair and scalp around a widening part or thinning area. It does not add hair or volume and may not suit every pattern of loss.

Question 6

Will it look natural?

Accepted Answer

Dot size, placement, shade and the design matter. We aim for a natural follicle-like appearance and draw the hairline before pigment. Results vary; no cosmetic result can be guaranteed.

Question 7

Does it regrow hair?

Accepted Answer

No. It changes how the scalp looks, not how hair grows. For medical options, see a doctor or dermatologist.

Question 8

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Scar camouflage starts around $400 and hairline work around $700. A full scalp typically runs $1,900 to $4,400 depending on the area. You get an exact quote at the free consultation. All prices are CAD.

Question 9

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

SMP breaks the skin, so infection, allergic reactions and pigment changes are possible. Discuss your skin history, sensitivities and any medical concerns before treatment. Ask about hygiene and aftercare, and seek medical advice if you are unsure.
