What should I know before deciding?
Ask about lighting, hairstyle, the stage shown and whether images show the same person. A single photograph is not a before-and-after comparison or a prediction of your outcome.
Ask about the area covered, included visits, exclusions, follow-up, later changes and the studio's current terms. Compare the proposed work rather than relying on a published amount or an assumed financing arrangement.
How should I plan care and later visits?
Request written instructions for your actual procedure, including washing, exercise, products, sun and swimming questions. Do not substitute a general blog timetable for those instructions. Contact a clinician about concerning symptoms.
Ask which visits are proposed for your situation, how they would be scheduled, what each includes and what would happen if the plan changes. This website does not establish a standard visit count or session duration.
Who would perform the work and what experience can I verify?
Ask who would assess, carry out and follow up the proposed work, and what verifiable experience, training or regulatory evidence is relevant. Gil Shimon is the named SMP artist at HairDot. No unsupported years, client counts, certification, founder status, specialist credential or outcome promise is supplied in place of evidence.
What should I ask about SMP?
What does cosmetic SMP do?
Scalp micropigmentation uses pigment to create the appearance of scalp detail. It does not grow hair or diagnose or treat the underlying cause of hair loss. Discuss the appearance you want and the limitations of a cosmetic approach.
How should I ask about changing appearance or maintenance?
Ask the studio how it would assess your existing pigment, changing hair and preferred hairstyle. Request an explanation of any proposed review or maintenance work rather than assuming a fixed interval or lifespan.
What should I ask about sensation and preparation?
Explain your concerns and ask the practitioner about the proposed procedure and preparation. Do not assume that a cosmetic procedure has no discomfort or risk. Discuss health concerns with an appropriately qualified clinician.
How many visits should I plan for?
Ask which visits are proposed for your situation, how they would be scheduled, what each includes and what would happen if the plan changes. This website does not establish a standard visit count or session duration.
How should I evaluate example photos?
Ask about lighting, hairstyle, the stage shown and whether images show the same person. A single photograph is not a before-and-after comparison or a prediction of your outcome.
What should I ask about scars or alopecia?
Discuss cosmetic appearance goals separately from the cause of hair loss or the condition of a scar. Suitability needs individual assessment. Seek qualified medical advice about unexplained hair loss or scalp changes.
Where should I get aftercare instructions?
Request written instructions for your actual procedure, including washing, exercise, products, sun and swimming questions. Do not substitute a general blog timetable for those instructions. Contact a clinician about concerning symptoms.
What should I ask about pigment?
Ask what product is proposed, why it is being considered, how existing pigment would be assessed and what limitations or changes should be discussed. Do not rely on a color or longevity guarantee.
What should an SMP proposal include?
Ask about the area covered, included visits, exclusions, follow-up, later changes and the studio's current terms. Compare the proposed work rather than relying on a published amount or an assumed financing arrangement.
