Many men and women use Toppik, Dermmatch, or similar concealing products to thinning hair. Scalp MicroPigmentation is a permanent concealer. Some of these women had Scalp MicroPigmentation as well as hair transplant surgery.
Dr. Pak was an engineer working with me (Dr. Rassman) in the mid 1990s before he went off to medical school to be a doctor .

I found this article of interest. It was in a woman who had extensive leg tattoos and known cervical cancer. A whole-body PET-CT scan revealed what appeared to be cancer spread in the left and right ileac lymph nodes, the team reports and this resulted in a surgical exploration of these lymph nodes which revealed […]
Dear Dr. Rassman: Yesterday, the first of 3 session for Scalp Micropigmentation at the New Hair Institute was pretty remarkable. Under the guidance of Dr. Rassman and Dr. Pak, the technicians, Christine and Leonard, delivered tens of thousands of precise ink dots that in the end look like stubble.

Comment: I have spoken out many times about the ethics of doing hair transplants in patients like the one discussed above as well as many others. Had PAUL not come to see me, he would certainly have chosen to undergo a follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure because he was committed to it. No selling was […]
SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation) will not damage hair follicles as the hair follicles are much deeper in the scalp than the pigment is placed.
