We have been performing Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) now for two years, so I can not address a longer time frame. I have seen one patient who had scalp tattoos done elsewhere about 9 years ago and he touched it up often (possibly too often). His scalp took on the appearance of smeared color. The black […]
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is performed by Dr. Pak who creates the hairline and adjusts the individual pigment. His assistants also help in the process. We are not tattoo artists.
You can certainly shave your head and not worry about the gray hair. While having Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) done on a shaved head is a common approach for many men who wish to maintain the closely cropped look, having this done to the sides of your head just to offset the graying is not a […]
The desire to have Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) seems to be more common in younger men. The choice to do SMP reflects what may be a lifetime decision. Let’s say, for example, that you have SMP done with your existing juvenile hairline at the age of 20 and then you progress to some hair loss pattern. […]
Not everyone will have very visible scarring, but any wound to the scalp will leave a scar to some degree. Just to what degree you will scar, I have no way to know. The combination of follicular unit extraction (FUE) and Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) does work… but with that said, you need to be evaluated […]
It is not necessary to shave the area, but it is distinctly more difficult and time consuming to do Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) with the hair long.
Your guess is as good as mine. I do not know the circumstance of actor/comedian/host Joe Rogan’s hair loss or the treatment he had. It’s possible that he had the surgery many years ago and had continued hair loss, but I really don’t know. Someone might mention to him that we can treat his scar […]
They did actually develop the technique and used it before we did. The biggest difference is that their work with clients does not have a medical focus. When they do the process, they can not use anesthesia and have little experience with treating hair problems since they are not doctors. As a medical group specializing […]
Generally speaking, you should wait at minimum 2 to 3 months until the area has healed. Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) would not affect hair growth or hair loss.
Actually, he wasn’t our surgical patient. I believe 1mm to 1.5mm punch was used, though I would guess more on the 1mm side. I should point out that even while he wasn’t our FUE patient, he could have had the same punch scars produced if we did the surgery. What I mean is, FUE is […]
If the donor scar has healed, you don’t need more surgery, and the scar is narrow, then follicular unit extraction (FUE) to the linear scar is possible. FUE does not fill in wide scars well, though. Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP), on the other hand, may be a better approach. Explore it all.
A low density hair transplant with SMP (Scalp MicroPigmentation) in the scalp may or may not be enough to achieve a fully normal appearance. There is certainly a threshold where where too few transplants will not be adequately augmented by SMP.
Any age above 18 years old will work for me if the patient understands the positive and negatives associated with the process. There’s a list of frequently asked questions at the SMP site. Many people will shave the head every day or every other day. This is a personal preference. Shaving your head shouldn’t destroy […]
Happy New Year to you, too! Tanning products are not similar to sun exposure so yes, you should be able to use tanning products after Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP). I would wait a few weeks before doing this so that the reaction to the skin needle wounds are well healed. There should be no chemical reaction […]
