There is no real anatomical risk to the Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP); however, there is something that we call the Master Plan that you need to discuss with your doctor, which includes planning for SMP and hair transplants. If you want us to be your doctor, please contact my office at 800-NEW-HAIR and send me some […]

A 55 year old male patient had a complete Scalp MicroPigmentation of the scalp done. He has changed his hairstyle from long hair with a balding pattern to a shaved head. He sent me this short email that I wanted to share: Awesome! I’m glad your day was made and I’m pleased that you’re enjoying […]

This patient is getting married soon and wanted her hair to look thicker quickly for her upcoming June wedding date. She was very concerned about not looking her best and wore her hair up (in a sort of bun) every time she went out to cover her thinning scalp. She could not imagine wearing her […]
Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) is an effective concealer, but it is not the answer to everyone’s concealer needs. From your description, I can not determine what you look like… and without speaking with you, I can’t determine what would make you happy with your appearance. At the least, send some pictures and schedule a telephone consultation […]
Click the photo to enlarge: The cost of Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) varies, and we generally do NOT perform SMP only to the front of the head (e.g. first inch) because it may not look uniform and blend in with the top. Since SMP is permanent, you would need to see a doctor for a […]
Yes, generally Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) can be used anywhere on the scalp (even eyebrows and beard areas). You can send us a photo to hairdoc@newhair.com for a formal consultation. Along with a good photo of the area you want to treat, please provide (1) your name, (2) contact info, (3) hair loss / treatment history, […]
Yes, it could have value if you already have some hair in the crown. Think long term –if you lose all of your crown hair, then the SMP will not work so well, but a hair transplant could solve that if and when that occurs. SMP works reasonably well in thinning hair. If you would […]
A topical cream anesthetic might work on other parts of the body where skin absorbs the medication (like your mouth), but it does not necessarily work as well on thick skin and scalp. Many tattoo parlors use numbing cream, but I do not believe it would work well on the scalp. Some places that offer […]
Since we have been performing Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), there have been various clinics that started offering something like SMP, but with non-permanent ink. Non-permanent ink is just like makeup or just drawing something on your head with a pen, in my opinion, so you don’t have to worry about other procedures (it will erase off […]
We have not seen a single case of shock loss from Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP); however, because we do use anesthesia for the procedure, some loss is theoretically possible in a young man not on Propecia (finasteride 1mg).
We’re always updating our Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) site with new patient before and after photos, but I thought I’d take the opportunity to post a patient here so BaldingBlog readers can see an example of the visual impact that occurs. This is a female patient with thinning hair. You can see the immediate results after […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Scalp Micropigmentation at the 2012 ISHRS Scientific Meeting – Dr. Robert Bernstein Provides His Input I meant to post this last month, but better late than never… Our friends at the Hair Transplant Network posted a good bit of feedback from Dr. Robert Bernstein relating to his […]
Look at our SMP site and you will see that this technique is a great adjunct to a hair transplant, properly timed of course. We are doing more and more of these every day.
In some patients, we have been using Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) to thicken up the look of a thin transplant, thereby avoiding another transplant. This can be done without shaving the head, but it all depends on your current state of hair and your overall expectations. SMP wouldn’t prevent future surgery, though. You should see a […]
