A hair system adds real length and volume straight away; scalp micropigmentation (SMP) adds tiny pigment dots that look like a close-shaved hairline or add shadow behind thin hair; Simulation & Stimulation combines a density look with scalp care. The right choice depends on whether you want length, a buzz-cut look, or a fuller look with ongoing care.
Hair system
Best for length and volume, any style. Needs maintenance visits and replacement over time.
SMP
Best for a shaved or very short look, or to reduce scalp shine under thin hair. Little daily upkeep; touch-ups over the years.
Simulation & Stimulation
Combines a density effect with stimulation of the scalp. Pricing is given at consultation.
Questions
Can I combine them?
Yes; some people use SMP under a thin area and a topper for volume, for example.
Which is lowest maintenance?
SMP usually has the least daily care, but it does not add length.
