SMP Decision, need help

My hair has been thinning for the past 4 to 5 years. I started taking 1.25mg Minoxidil daily and 1.25mg of Finasteride three times per week about 7 months and I can already see that the meds are working. In terms of the current state of my hair, I still have a pretty decent hairline. The issue is that my hair is thin in the crown, mid-scalp region and frontal region. Its thinnest in the crown. I don’t think I’m ready for a hair transplant yet. Like I said my hairline is decent and I would like to keep that natural looking hairline for as long as possible, and I’m confident I can now that I can see the meds are working.

But to help with the areas that my hair is thin, I’m considering getting scalp micropigmentation (SMP) to give my hair a more fuller appearance. I was just wondering has anyone here had smp done (without getting a hair transplant)? And I don’t mean on shaved head to give the appearance of stubble all over. I mean getting smp done as a way of making an existing head of hair appear thicker. If anyone has had something like this done, how were the results?

As the doctor who wrote most of the articles in the medical literature on Scalp Micropigmentation, I wouldn’t rush to do it. Most people who do SMP, do it poorly, and a bad job is worse than no SMP at all. If you decide to do it, make sure that you see a couple of patients that were done by that provider.  Give your medications a chance to work before going to SMP.
