Understanding how an SMP treatment works is important for you to feel confident throughout the process. At Scalpkliniken we work with a clear step-by-step method to achieve natural and sustainable results. Therefore, here we provide an overview of how we proceed.

Step 1: Free consultation

Your journey starts hereWe begin every SMP treatment with a consultation to understand your needs and expectations. During the meeting, we analyze your skin tone, hair color, and scalp to create a customized treatment plan. We also walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have. This way, you get a clear picture of what the treatment involves and what to expect.

Step 2: Preparation for treatment

Careful preparation for best results Before your first session, we thoroughly cleanse your scalp and mark the planned hairline. This step is crucial to ensure that the pigmentation is both natural and symmetrical. We then select pigments that match your skin tone and hair color, which is crucial for a realistic result.

Step 3: Treatment sessions

First session: The baseDuring the first treatment, we apply a base over the entire area. We often choose a lighter pigmentation to see how your skin reacts and how the pigment heals. This gives us the opportunity to fine-tune the result in the following sessions. Consequently, we can ensure that the base is stable.

Second Session: Fullness and DepthIn the second session, we apply a darker pigment and fill in the gaps between the previously pigmented areas. This leads to a denser and fuller result. At this stage, the treatment begins to take shape and give a more realistic illusion of hair follicles.

Third Session: Fine-TuningThe third and final session focuses on fine-tuning. We ensure that the entire area has an even and natural color. By adding a final layer of pigment, we create a 3D effect that makes the result look like a shaved head with fully developed hair follicles. This completes the treatment.

Step 4: Aftercare

Important for long-lasting results After each session, it is important to follow the aftercare instructions we give you. Avoid washing your scalp, sweating heavily, or exposing yourself to strong sunlight for the first few days. Keep the area clean and moisturize regularly. For long-lasting results, minor touch-ups may be needed after 3–5 years depending on your skin type and sun exposure.
