Simulation & Stimulation vs wigs and hair toppers: just as instant, and nothing to wear
The big advantage of a wig or topper is speed: put it on and thin areas are covered. Simulation & Stimulation is just as quick, a fuller look in 3–4 hours, and the fuller look is on your own scalp: no daily fitting, removing and washing, and no worry about edges being seen or touched.
What do wigs and toppers do?
Made of human or synthetic hair, they are fixed with clips, tape or weaving and change the look instantly. Many people use them through their thinnest period, and it is a practical choice.
The everyday cost is upkeep: fitting and removing, washing and replacing, a warm scalp in humid weather, and worry on windy days, during hugs or when someone touches your head.
How does Simulation & Stimulation do the same job better?
A wig gives an instantly fuller look; so does Simulation & Stimulation, directly on your scalp. Simulation creates a layered strand look that blends with your own hair, and Stimulation helps support healthy hair and scalp condition, something a wig cannot do.
Afterwards there is nothing to wear. Wash, exercise and go out in the wind as usual, with results lasting 24–48 months.
Who is it for?
Anyone tired of wearing a wig or topper every day, worried about being found out, finding the scalp hot in our weather, or wanting their own scalp cared for.
Why does Simulation look denser than SMP?
SMP creates a buzz-cut dotted follicle look on the scalp and usually means shaving short. Simulation builds a layered strand look in thin areas, adding density layer by layer and blending with your own hair, so Simulation looks denser than SMP and you keep your style. Simulation & Stimulation (拟发生发) is NPM® Malaysia’s non-surgical in-centre treatment: Simulation uses bio-compatible pigment to improve the look of density, and Stimulation helps support healthy hair and scalp condition, under Dr. supervision.
Questions and answers
I wear a topper now. Can I come for an assessment?
Yes. You remove it for the assessment, we check your scalp and thinning area with an instrument, and start when suitable.
Will I still need a wig afterwards?
Simulation & Stimulation makes thin areas look fuller, and most clients stop covering up. We explain the result for your measured area at the consultation.
Can I exercise and swim?
You live as normal afterwards; we give you the aftercare details clearly on the day.
