This is a great example when Scalp Micropigmentation is used properly to hide a scalp scar. The operator (I don’t know the operator) did a great job in hiding the scar. Click photo to zoom in
I’m having an FUE procedure and i’ve seen plenty of people on youtube who are able to rock really short fades, pretty much bald fades after getting one of these procedures done (the haircut where you cut really low on the sides and back and gradually up it a little more), and I was wondering, […]
This patient had multiple strip hair transplants, and the surgeons who did this did not keep all of the scars in one place. As a result, the patient ended up with a terrible scarring complication, as shown in these photos. Dr. Tony Rustio from Brazil (trained in SMP by me) repaired this man with Scalp […]
This patient had visible FUE scars that he wanted to conceal. To accomplish this, we performed Scalp MicroPigmentation on the donor area with great results. FUE is a terrific procedure but it does form many very small scars for each follicular unit that is excised. When too many FUEs are performed the donor area becomes bald and looks […]
The use of Scalp Micropigmentation with these conditions do not require that the disease is inactive as the depth of the SMP when done correctly in skilled hands, does not penetrate the skin more than .75mm, which is too shallow to impact these diseases.

The photo here is an example of what is possible with SMP on hair transplant scars. SMP is generally a one time procedure and the longevity is similar to any tattoo. As with any tattoo you may want to have it touched up after several years. If you would like more information, you can always […]
This is a review of a Scalp MicroPigmentation performed at the New Hair Institute Medical Group. The following patient had a eye brow scar indent which he tried to mask with tattoos many years ago. He also had a hair transplant that did not work out well for him as he continued to lose hair. […]
This patient had almost everything that could go wrong with hair transplantation including: Scalp reductions, multiple hair transplants and depletion of his donor area from the multiple surgeries in the past. More hair transplants were not an option. His results showed thinning but on the brighter side of things, he felt that he did not […]
This is a review of a patient who was happy with his hair transplant results but his linear hair transplant scar bothered him when he wore his hair short. We kept his hair long (not shaved) and performed the SMP procedure under local anesthesia. The following results were immediately after the first session. He will […]
This patient just wanted to shave his head but his old hair transplant scar got in the way. The scar is still there but now it looks blended.
Another patient with SMP to the old hair transplant scar. While the scar itself is not the worst we’ve seen, it defiantly shows when the hair is cropped very short. You can see the SMP results after the 2nd SMP procedure. Note the slight redness since the photo was taken immediately after the SMP.
This patient was a victim of a bad surgery and old plug scars. He didn’t have enough hairs to cover the plugs or enough transplanted hairs to cover the top. He was out of options other than wearing hats or a hair piece. SMP helped him with creating a hair line and hiding most of […]
You can have Scalp MicroPigment (SMP) to the linear strip scar first if you are thinking of shaving. Then the scar will not be as noticeable with the hair shaved and FUE can be performed. The time between SMP and FUE can be about one week (after your last SMP session). Keep in mind FUE […]
Scars treated with FUE or in fact with any form of hair transplant, does not completely cover the scar area because the density needed is too high to achieve in one session or possibly even two sessions. The scars tend to be white, and the whitish color of the scar seems to always dominate whatever […]
