Frequently Asked Questions

SMP is considered a long-lasting treatment rather than a permanent one. Pigments are designed to soften gradually over time, allowing results to age naturally. Some clients choose a refresh or top-up after several years.

Most people describe SMP as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Sensation varies depending on the area being treated, but sessions are generally well tolerated and breaks can be taken if needed.
