Q: What is SMP?

A: Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical procedure using micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp, creating the illusion of fuller hair or a natural buzz-cut. Trusted worldwide to restore confidence through precision and artistry.

Q: Is SMP permanent?

A: SMP typically lasts 4–6 years. While it’s semi-permanent, occasional touch-ups may be needed as the pigment naturally softens. With proper aftercare and sun protection, results stay sharp and long-lasting.

Q: Will it look natural?

A: Absolutely. At RareOne SMP Studios, we custom-match pigments and replicate natural hair patterns so seamlessly, it’s nearly impossible to tell it’s not real hair.

Q: Does it hurt?

A: Most clients describe it as mildly uncomfortable — similar to light scratching. Sessions are performed using specialized tools in a relaxing, private environment to ensure your comfort.

Q: How many sessions are needed?

A: Typically, 2 to 3 sessions spaced 10–14 days apart. This layering process ensures optimal depth, retention, and realism, tailored to your specific scalp and goals.

Q: How should I prepare for my session?

A: Easy prep:

Avoid caffeine and blood thinners 24 hours before.
Follow shaving or scalp-cleaning instructions.
Keep your scalp moisturized in the days leading up.
