SMP is a non-surgical technique where a series of tiny dots are created on the scalp, concentrating on areas with the most visible hair loss. These mimic the very short hair and hide the baldness. This is kind of a camouflaging procedure and acts as a concealer to bald areas to ultimately give a full hair look.
This treatment can be done irrespective of your age, hair and skin color, and type of hair loss.
