    > Wow! I wish I had found Peter years ago. Having struggled with thinning/fine hair for over 20 years and having had various hair systems during that time, I just wanted to be free of wearing hairpieces, toppers and thickening powders. This has been the ideal solution for me as I can now wear my hair tied up or down, without having to be concerned about my scalp. If you take a look at the before and after's - they really do just say it all.

## Frequently Asked Questions

What happens in a scalp micropigmentation consultation?

We review your hair and scalp, discuss the look you want and explain SMP and tricopigmentation in clear terms. You will see suitable hairline and density options, and leave with a tailored plan, timeline and pricing.

Am I suitable for SMP or tricopigmentation?

Most people seeking a fuller looking hairline, added density or a clean shaved style are suitable. Suitability depends on skin characteristics, hair colour contrast and goals. The consultation confirms your options and recommends the approach that fits.

How much does scalp micropigmentation cost?

Pricing is tailored to your coverage needs, style and whether scar camouflage is involved. You receive a clear quote and session outline during the consultation, with no obligation to proceed.

Will it look natural?

Yes, the aim is a natural, age appropriate result. We match colour to your skin and hair, design a hairline to suit your features and blend carefully for a believable finish.

What is the difference between SMP and tricopigmentation?

SMP is a longer lasting option maintained with occasional top ups. Tricopigmentation is a temporary approach that fades by design and is refreshed more regularly. We will advise which best suits your goals and lifestyle.
