SMP Questions – Anesthesia, Aging, Hairlines

dr. rassman,

can general anesthesia be used for SMP procedure?

Does the pigment ever stretch as the patient ages, like how a tattoo on a 70 year old looks?

can the hairline be made to look natural, i have seen “his hair” procedures in which it looks like a line is drawn on the forhead instead of a natural shaved head look.

i can send you a couple photos of my balding, im 26 and have beeen since i was 18 but the past 2 years it seems to have slowed a lot. i do not take propecia, and do not want to.

i want a good smp procedure to give me back a symetrical face. Can smp go with a “number 1” buzz cut or is it used with a “no guard” buzz cut.

thanks

We offer local anesthesia for a pain free experience. We also offer light sedation, but we do not offer general anesthesia (where you are completely out).

The pigment, like all cosmetic pigment or tattoos, fade and spread over time. We have techniques to minimize this as much as possible. The length of hair you need for SMP varies from number 1 guard to a shave.

If you would like a photo consultation, you would need to email photos and call (800) NEW-HAIR to speak to me or Dr. Pak.
