For women, SMP is almost always about density and part lines, not a sharp, shaved hairline. We keep your existing style and use pigment to calm down the scalp that’s stealing attention.

• Part-line shading: Soft dots along widened parts so the eye reads hair, not scalp.
• Top and crown density: Gentle coverage through see-through zones under your natural hair.
• Hairline framing: Very subtle softening at the front to support your existing hair, not redraw it.
• Camera awareness: Planning for how your hair looks in selfies, Zoom, and social photos, not just in person.

The end result is meant to feel like your hair on a good day, on more days — not a totally new identity.

Many women who come in have already seen doctors or bloodwork; they’re just tired of seeing scalp in every photo. SMP doesn’t replace medical care — it supports the visual side:

• Widened part lines that make styles feel limited.
• Diffuse thinning across the top and crown where light hits strongest.
• Post-pregnancy or stress-related shedding that left lingering thin areas.
• Pattern-driven thinning often linked with hormones, genetics, or age.

You can keep your hair at your preferred length; the SMP sits underneath as a visual back-up layer.

Alopecia and patchy loss can be some of the most emotionally heavy cases. SMP is used to even out contrast, not to change what your follicles are doing biologically.

• Patchy areata-style loss: Breaking up hard edges so patches blend into the surrounding pattern.
• More global alopecia patterns: Creating an even “buzzed” or shadow look where hair is gone.
• Regrowth-friendly planning: Working so that if hair comes and goes, the pattern still makes sense.

SMP cannot stop flares or regrow hair, and medical guidance always comes first. Its role is to reduce the visual shock of contrast so mirrors and cameras feel less confrontational.

Scars and medical stories are special cases where SMP can quietly push attention back to your face:

• Transplant scars: FUT strip or FUE dot patterns that stand out when hair is short.
• Surgical scars: Lines from neurosurgery or other medical procedures on the scalp.
• Injury or burn scars: Areas where hair no longer grows and skin is a different texture.
• Chemo-related thinning: When hair has returned but density and confidence haven’t matched yet.

In all of these, SMP is used to break up shine and hard edges so the area blends more naturally, while respecting any medical limits on where we can safely work.

Because many women and special-case clients are already under medical care, we treat SMP as one piece of the plan, not the whole solution.

• Active inflammation, infection, or open areas on the scalp usually need to heal first.
• Autoimmune conditions may require timing around flares or written clearance.
• Recent surgery, chemo, or radiation may mean a waiting period before we can safely work.

We’ll be honest if we think the timing is off. Sometimes the right move is to stabilise things medically first and keep SMP in your back pocket for when your body is ready.
