These two unfortunately patients had some operator who painted their scalp under their hair. When good SMP is done, you don’t see it because they are small dots mixing with the base of the hair shafts and they are not taken up to the frontal hairline. As a consumer, you must be on guard against […]

This man had 3300 grafts. Because he was blonde, the hair grafts needed were less as the color/contrast between hair and scalp color was closely approximated. He had some grafts placed in the top and crown, but most of the grafts were placed in the frontal area to give him an excellent frame for his […]
My hair has been thinning for the past 4 to 5 years. I started taking 1.25mg Minoxidil daily and 1.25mg of Finasteride three times per week about 7 months and I can already see that the meds are working. In terms of the current state of my hair, I still have a pretty decent hairline. The […]
Any concern in SMP while on topical min fin? And what about a transplant with SMP on scalp? Once the SMP is set (about 1 -2 weeks), the use of minoxidil is not a problem. if you had SMP and wanted a hair transplant, there should be no problem as any good surgeon should be […]
Right now i am just dermarolling for 6 months with my short hair. If i do smp, will it be realistic or look artificial? SMP is an art form and some people do great SMP and too many others do not. Just make sure that you meet patients that had it done before going forward […]
I am considering getting SMP for density at https://getscalpworx.com/ .What should I be looking for to ensure I have the best and safest experience? Thanks! Ask to meet patients that had it done and look closely at the work. If you can tell its SMP, then stay away from that clinic. Many clinics put large dots […]
Yes, SMP doesn’t last as long in scars as it does in skin.
It’s supposed to look like hair, not dots of different sizes. You might consider removing it with a laser (special lasers in doctors office to remove tattoo) and do it with someone that know what it is supposed to look like.
Hi Dr. I’m a diffuse thinner. I have been doing microneedling with minoxidil for about a year. It seems to have stopped the hair loss but unfortunately there is no new growth. I’m thinking about getting smp, the only reason that’s holding me back is that if I get smp I’m scared I wont be […]
It is hard to imagine that anyone would want this, or that even if someone was to want it, that any provider would deliver this end product. The SMP is a painted wall of blue colored ink in front of this poor man’s hairline. Something is wrong here. The good news is that this can […]
I came across a paper of yours with combining SMP and FUE. I think it’s a remarkable idea and it’s something I’m interested in doing. I had an FUE transplant completed with HLC last September (5 months ago). Do you know when is the earliest I could safely do SMP for both the recipient and […]
I wrote an extensive article on the combination using FUE and SMP together to increase the value of the hair in a hair transplant here: https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Combining_Follicular_Unit_Extraction_and_Scalp.98621.pdf
Hi Dr. Rassman. Hair loss has consumed my life recently and I’ve opted for SMP. My only worry is that my scalp is considerably paler than my skin and the last time I buzzed my hair it really stuck out. Thanks so much for what you do, have a good one. Thoughts? I have seen […]
I felt terribly sorry for the poor man who went to a provider to get Scalp Micropigmentation as shown in these photos. Hopefully, they can be removed with an appropriate laser. Be sure that your provider knows how to do SMP by asking to see a few of his patients.
These dots are so large, they can be seen even behind the hairline, but when placed at the leading edge of the hairline, they are awful and strikingly obvious.
