Tattoo and pigments under the skin can cause infection and reactions. We have not seen issues with infection associated with SMP at New Hair Institute. It probably helps that we are a medical facility and our physicians oversee and perform SMP. We are careful not to go overboard and are generally conservative in our decision […]

Here is an example of what we did for someone who was missing a patch of hair on the temple. It is known as triangle alopecia. While we generally can treat this with hair transplant surgery, this patient wanted a non-surgical approach using the SMP Scalp MicroPigment technique. He knows that he will need to […]
You can have Scalp MicroPigment (SMP) to the linear strip scar first if you are thinking of shaving. Then the scar will not be as noticeable with the hair shaved and FUE can be performed. The time between SMP and FUE can be about one week (after your last SMP session). Keep in mind FUE […]
The simple answer to your question is: Yes! Many people with advanced balding patterns just don’t have enough donor hair to cover the entire balding pattern, so SMP (scalpmicropigmentation) solves this problem. I hear ultra refined technique used sometimes but it is more of a term described in forums such as Hair Transplant Network. That […]
Before SMP This patient talks about how others were upset that he was visiting a hair transplant clinic when he had so much hair! They didn’t know he had SMP.
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 […]
Yes, there are between 2-4 procedures over a time span of a few weeks (you work that schedule with us). A full head SMP takes between 20-30 hours and we like to see some spacing between the procedures so that if it is going to fade, we can adjust for the fading on the subsequent […]
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 […]
head tattoo, not smp Look at all of the tattoos shown here. Fascinating!
Scars treated with FUE or in fact with any form of hair transplant, does not completely cover the scar area because the density needed is too high to achieve in one session or possibly even two sessions. The scars tend to be white, and the whitish color of the scar seems to always dominate whatever […]
At our most recent open house event, we had three of our Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) patients show up along with numerous other people exploring the hair transplant option. As the guests interacted with each other, I overheard a conversation between one of our SMP patients (Alex) and another man at the event (let’s call him […]
Those are our photos, but that is not our site. We have become aware that many of our photographs on our Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) site have been copied by some people, tattooists, doctors, etc.. who want the public to believe that they have extensive experience with SMP. I am personally affronted and taking the proper […]
I’m going to reference a couple patients found on our SMP Photo Gallery and explain why the results are so different and so obvious… Patient 20 is the ideal patient result with a scar from a previous hair transplant. The scar was flat and uniform and was the result of a single surgical procedure with […]
We have done Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) on many people like you. The detectability of it depends upon many factors, especially your hair color. If it is jet black, then the SMP will make an appreciable difference in your look; however, what I have found in doing hair transplants and SMP procedures over the years is […]
There appear to be many clinics that are offering Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), but the word “clinics” may be confusing. These clinics may not have any medical affiliation and many of them are tattoo parlors with a more “upper crust” office decor. First of all, tattooists can not administer anesthesia, as only an medical doctor (MD) […]
