You ask a great question! We have been combining SMP with hair transplant surgeries using FUE or Strip FUT. After all we are a medical practice that specialize in all aspect of hair restoration! This patient came to us with a old hair transplant surgery scar. He had a strip FUT surgery which didn’t really […]
Another patient with SMP to the old hair transplant scar. While the scar itself is not the worst we’ve seen, it defiantly shows when the hair is cropped very short. You can see the SMP results after the 2nd SMP procedure. Note the slight redness since the photo was taken immediately after the SMP.
This patient was a victim of a bad surgery and old plug scars. He didn’t have enough hairs to cover the plugs or enough transplanted hairs to cover the top. He was out of options other than wearing hats or a hair piece. SMP helped him with creating a hair line and hiding most of […]
Tattoo products and inks are definitely a public health risk. Scalp MicroPigmentation falls in this category. You must check who is doing the SMP and if the establishment has a valid license and safety clearance. I have heard stories of SMP being offered in hotel rooms, in private residences, and even out of a car. […]
All pigments deposited under the skin will turn blue/ green over time. The time frame that this happens is within a week to a month (not years). And the blue I am referring to is nothing like the blue in this post, it is a black color with a tinge of blue to it. Any […]
Most blond people have a dark root color when the hair exits the scalp and then it is exposed to light, it turns blond. If the hair is shaved, it would show to be a dark grayish/ brown. To test this in response to this question, I cut some hair from my platinum blond wife […]
Alvaro Traquina, M.D. used the term “micropigmentation of the scalp” in an article published in the Dermatologic Surgery medical publication back in 2001 (see Micropigmentation as an Adjuvant in Cosmetic Surgery of the Scalp). His title, text, and pictures clearly define the use of the pigment as a concealer. We started using the term Scalp […]
After listening to what each individual has to say, my general approach to surgery or any treatment (including Scalp MicroPigmentation / SMP) is to ask myself, “What would I do if it was me?” or “What would I do for my brother or best friend?” It may not always equate to a good business plan […]
Hair Transplant Network is supposed to be an unbiased review of doctors, but the doctors on the site all pay a monthly fee (over a thousand dollars) to be on the site. Yelp is supposed to be an unbiased review of most places, but even they have come into scrutiny when they favor (with positive […]
The technique of micropigmenting the scalp has been around for many years, but it has not been widely referred to as “Scalp MicroPigmentation” until a few years ago (since 2010). When we first entered the pigmentation market back in 2010, we tried to come up with various names for the process, such as scalp tattooing […]
I had a discussion with one of our hair transplant patients who continued to use Toppik to get the fullness he needed despite having a reasonable hair transplant result. This man in his late 50s received around 5500 grafts, which was not quite enough to cover his entire Norwood class 6 balding pattern, so he […]
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 […]
