Hair Transplant vs SMP vs Simulation & Stimulation
Quick answer: A hair transplant surgically moves your own hair to thinning areas; SMP adds pigment to the scalp to create the look of density; Simulation & Stimulation is Folli-Doc’s newest, non-surgical technology and is 80% cheaper than hair transplant. Folli-Doc offers all three, so a free consultation and AI scan can help you compare honestly.
