Frequently Asked Questions
What background do I need for the SMP course?
Basic beauty or tattoo experience is recommended but not required. If you are a complete beginner, we provide additional foundation practice time before the course. The most important qualities are hand stability and artistic sense.
What is the market outlook for SMP?
Excellent! Approximately 40% of Hong Kong men are affected by hair loss, and SMP is currently the most immediately effective visual improvement solution. A single case charges HK$15,000-40,000, and with 4-5 cases per month, the income is substantial. Market demand far exceeds supply.
How long after completing the course can I take clients?
After the course, most students need 1-2 months of practice (on artificial skin and models) to reach commercial standard. We provide 3 months of post-graduation technical support, including remote guidance for your first few cases.
How is SMP different from regular tattooing?
SMP uses specialised pigments (carbon-free, won't turn blue/green), dedicated needles (finer, simulating follicles), and specific depth (epidermis, not dermis). The technical principles are completely different and require specialised training.
Does the course include live model practice?
Yes. In the later stages of the course, 2-3 live models are arranged for student practice. Earlier stages involve extensive practice on professional artificial skin to ensure technique stability before performing on live subjects.
