SMP at a glance
What to know before booking SMP in New York
Therapeutic Cuts plans each SMP treatment around your hairline, skin tone, lifestyle, and how you wear your hair now. The goal is a clean, natural shadow effect that looks like closely cropped follicles, not a stamped-on hairline.
Best fit
Receding hairlines, crown thinning, alopecia patches, transplant scars, and density loss.
Typical plan
Most clients need 2-3 sessions so the density can be layered gradually and adjusted after healing.
Starting range
Treatment commonly starts around $1,500, with final pricing based on area, density, and session count.
Look and upkeep
Results are built from tiny dots that mimic follicles and usually need touch-ups every 4-6 years.
Is SMP right for you?
Choose SMP when you want sharper density without surgery
SMP can work well if you like a buzzed or close-cropped look, want a stronger hairline, or need visual density where hair is thinning. It can also help clients with long hair when the goal is to soften contrast at the part line or crown instead of creating a shaved-head look.
A good SMP artist does not just fill an area darker. The work should follow your natural growth pattern, use micro-dot spacing that matches your skin and hair contrast, and leave room for future touch-ups.
See the dot pattern before committing
During your consultation, ask to review process photos and examples of healed dot spacing. This keeps expectations clear before any pigment work begins.

Step 2: First Treatment Session
The first session focuses on creating the foundation and outline of your new hairline. We work methodically to ensure proper density and natural-looking results. Most clients describe the sensation as minimal discomfort, similar to getting a tattoo.
Step 3: Follow-up Sessions
Additional sessions (typically 2-3 total) are scheduled to add density, make adjustments, and perfect the final result. Each session builds upon the previous work, gradually achieving the desired density and natural appearance.
