Frequently Asked Questions

Is SMP better than a hair transplant?

Neither is universally 'better' — they serve different purposes. SMP creates the appearance of hair follicles, while transplants move actual hair. SMP is ideal for those wanting a shaved/buzzed look or enhancing existing hair.

Can I get SMP after a hair transplant?

Absolutely! Many transplant patients use SMP to add density between transplanted hairs or camouflage donor area scarring.
