SMP for Young Patient with Hairline Corner Recession?

Would you perform SMP on a young patient with a receded hairline just to fill in the receded corners, if he still wish to keep his hair longer? I mean to the point where these areas are covered anyway, to allow the option of shaving the head in future, or just to provide more coverage if the comb forward isn’t cutting it? I’m talking no more than an inch of recession either side.

If you are considering Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) then you should be prepared to keep your hair cut short (buzzcut with no guard). If the bald area is covered anyway, I’m not sure why you’d want to have it done. If it’s not covered, the hair should be kept clipped short to keep the pigmented area from looking abnormal. This might not be the solution for you, since SMP does not usually look as good in the hairline with hair kept long. It may work in certain case by case individuals, but it is not intended for the frontal hairline unless it is worked in conjunction with hair transplants.

SMP is not for a simple quick fix because as a young man, you need to consider more corner recession and possibly significant recession as you get older. This should should be considered permanent, so you would be committed to get more SMP procedures as you continue to bald.
