There are two classes of SMP: (1) for a donor area scar or set of scars, and (2) for the entire head. Obviously, the entire head will take longer for each session (6-8 hours) than just the scar area, which might take up to 3-4 hours. The number of sessions also vary, from 2-4 sessions […]

Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) may work well to fill out the eyebrows, provided that there is enough hair in the eyebrows and the hair on your eyebrows is dark. If you darken the skin underneath the eyebrow with SMP and the eyebrow hair is lighter in color than the pigment used below, it will be problematic […]
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 […]
This patient had one Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) treatment on his hair transplant scar. The AFTER video was taken immediately after SMP, so you can see some redness on the scalp, which will go away in a day or two. In general, SMP to a scalp scar takes two to three sessions. The patient above […]
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 […]
Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) may work for treating traction alopecia, though it likely depends on the style you plan on having. It could look just fine if the hair is kept short. Hair transplantation is a good treatment for traction alopecia, providing that the cause of the traction is gone.
We received some Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) questions: 1. The photos on the SMP website show most people shaved, because that is what makes the scar blend in with the stubble of hair and the flat pigment of SMP underneath your skin. Keep in mind, if you get SMP for a scar, it is not hair […]
We have been using FUE grafts for added texture on a person like you who gets Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP). However, we use scalp hair… not body hair. Body hair transplant success rates are variable and the texture is not the same. If you are going for the “stubble” look, scalp hair will give you a […]
Each and every patient is different and there is no rule. You can have Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) first and a hair transplant later. Or you can have the transplant first and SMP later. I have had patients who had SMP on a completely bald scalp and later had a small FUE surgery to add texture […]
They all work, you just have to use what is most comfortable and convenient for you. I have no preference.
Yes, we have done this before. Here’s an example of a patient that wasn’t satisfied with his transplant and had SMP done to give it a fuller look. Another patient that comes to mind had SMP done first, then had 500 or so FUE grafts placed into his head to give him the feel of […]
If I understand your question correctly, you have lost much of the frontal edge of your hairline and want it put back with SMP. You seem to understand that if you have SMP done at the leading edge of the hairline where you lost the hair, that you must shave your entire head and keep […]
The pigment we use for Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) is reversible with laser pigment removal; however, it may require more than one treatment. There is also a risk for hair loss with the laser pigment removal. A while back, we were made aware of an ink that was reportedly able to be removed with one laser […]
This patient came to see us after having a hair transplant (from another clinic) that still left him not a full as he would like. We offered Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) as an alternative option to having further transplant surgeries. He took this alternative option and the transformation was very exciting. It would have taken between […]
DermMatch is a kind of powdered paint (albeit a crude description) — it is not permanent and while it is not detectable up close when applied correctly, you can feel it and it does come off on your pillow and hands if you rub your scalp. Toppik is a similar temporary camouflaging product, but it […]
