SMP has several advantages over hair transplant procedures including:
Non-invasive. Unlike hair transplant procedures such as FUE and FUT, SMP is non-invasive and is similar to getting a tattoo. That is why SMP is ideal for those who shy away from hair transplant surgery or those who can't afford time off work for a post-op recovery period.
No Medication. Aside from a topical numbing agent used during the session, no other medication is required for this non-invasive procedure.
