Training for SMP: Pathway to Becoming a Professional

Scalp micropigmentation is fast becoming the most reliable and convenient solution for hair loss restoral. Other procedures can be expensive, painful, leave scarring, require multiple follow ups and have extensive recovery times. 

Scalp micropigmentation, on the other hand, requires 2 or 3 visits for a few hours each time. The process itself is simple, not painful with very little maintenance and recovery time which all comes with amazing results.

This has led to a surge in demand for SMP services and thus a fast growing need for trained scalp micropigmentation practitioners for this very lucrative profession.
