BENEFITS OF SMP
How does SMP compare to other hair loss solutions?
LOW MAINTENANCE
Minoxidil and finasteride require continuous use and can cause side effects. Discontinuing minoxidil can lead to gradual hair loss, and hair grown using it may thin and fall out. Stopping finasteride can cause DHT levels to return to previous levels, resulting in hair loss. Hair systems require frequent salon visits and restrict daily activities.
SMP is a convenient, low-maintenance option, offering natural-looking results without the need for ongoing commitment or special maintenance. No special shampoos or routines required.
​
NON INVASIVE
Hair transplant surgery and laser treatments are invasive procedures that can be painful, entail a lengthy recovery period, and may result in scarring.
​
SMP is a non-invasive procedure where pigment is applied to the scalp to create the appearance of hair follicles. It's a painless process​ that requires no downtime and leaves no scarring.
​
AFFORDABLE
Hair loss medications and laser treatments can be costly over time. Hair transplant surgery can range from $10,000 to $30,000 SGD, not including follow-up or maintenance. Hair systems like toupees cost $2000 to $8000 SGD annually.
​
SMP, is a cost-effective solution requiring little maintenance. The cost of SMP is typically a fraction of the cost of hair transplant surgery, ranging $500 to $5000 SGD.
Medications for hair loss, like minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia), are frequently prescribed to either slow down hair loss or stimulate hair growth. However, they necessitate continuous usage and can potentially lead to side effects. Discontinuing minoxidil may lead to gradual hair loss, and any hair that grew due to minoxidil may thin and fall out. For finasteride, when you stop taking it, your DHT (dihydrotestosterone) levels may return to previous levels, resulting in hair loss similar to if you had never taken the medication.
​
Hair systems, on the other hand, entail weekly salon visits to remove and reattach the wig. Wearing a wig also imposes restrictions on your daily activities, making activities like swimming, exercising, and sweating uncomfortable and less convenient.
​
SMP is a one-time or infrequent procedure, hence offers a more convenient and low-maintenance approach to hair loss management, allowing individuals to enjoy natural-looking results without the costly and time consuming, ongoing commitment and upkeep required by other options. There is no need for special shampoos or maintenance routines.
IMMEDIATE RESULTS
Medications and laser treatments for hair loss may take several months to a year for noticeable results, potentially causing discomfort and necessitating time off work. Hair transplant surgery also requires several months to a year for complete results and may involve multiple procedures.
​
SMP delivers immediate and visible results right after the procedure, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately.
NATURAL LOOKING
Laser treatments and hair transplant surgery can result in an unnatural appearance if not performed precisely. Transplanted hair may not grow in the same direction as the surrounding hair, leading to an unnatural look in some cases.
​
SMP offers a natural-looking solution by creating the illusion of hair follicles that seamlessly blend in with the surrounding hair, ensuring a harmonious and authentic appearance.
​
​
Medications and laser treatments for hair loss may not be effective for all types of hair loss and can vary in effectiveness from person to person. Hair transplant surgery is limited by the availability of donor hair, which may be insufficient for some individuals.
​
SMP offers a versatile solution, overcoming the limitations of donor hair availability. It can create the appearance of a full head of hair and enhance density in thinning areas, making it a viable option for a wider range of people dealing with hair loss.
VERSATILE
