Usually, people with lupus who lose their hair as a result of this autoimmune disease will not be candidates for a hair transplant. The Lupus Foundation of America has an article about hair loss that can result from the disease or the treatment, which you may find helpful (see here). There is possibly a solution […]

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 […]
And thank you for allowing us to publish your photo here. Click to enlarge: We routinely perform Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) at our office on a daily basis for the type of scars you have. In fact, most scars we see are worse than the one you show. I’m not sure why you’d still see […]
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 […]
Shaving your head will probably bring out the pitting in the recipient area that often accompanies the old style of hair plugs. We have developed a process call Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP), which works well when the hair is clipped very short to make you look like a normal fellow with a shaved head. The pitting […]
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 […]
I wrote about the possibility of the baldness cure being just a couple years away here. You’re assuming a lot to suggest that it won’t be normal to be bald for the rest of your life, and even then, there are options like Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP), hair transplantation, and even medication, to make it so […]
There is no medical cure for alopecia universalis patients. Cloning isn’t available and transplantation isn’t an option, since alopecia universalis patients don’t have hair to harvest. There is an alternative option — Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP). We have had one alopecia totalis patient treated with SMP. Look for Client 26 here (4th one down on the […]
This patient had 4608 grafts. As you can see from his photos below, the frontal area is great, but the top and crown are lightly covered. He lost much of the original hair in the top and crown from the balding process and as the transplant process was going on over a 10 year period […]
You can try an over the counter hydrocortisone treatment in small doses 3 times a week or once a day, whichever relives the itching. I can’t say a scar revision and scalp itch are related — at least, it’s not something I’ve heard of before. If it continues, I would see a dermatologist. As an […]
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.
When it comes to hair transplants, some people don’t always finish what they start — perhaps due to money issues or just not wanting to go that route ever again because of disappointment in the results, failures of the surgery, or severe pain with the surgery. The pain and costs of more surgeries is a […]
The pluggy hair transplants of the 1980s and 90s, and even the strip surgeries in the years following that, caused considerable scarring in some percentage of patients. Few of them complained unless their donor area was depleted from multiple surgeries so that long hair would not cover it. Even today, scars from follicular unit extraction […]
