Would I rather have a hair transplant or SMP? I looked into hair transplants years ago and when the person doing the consultation said they would have to take a strip of hair about a half inch from the back of my head then sew the strip close I almost threw up and to top it off he said there’s no guarantee the hair would take, hold on one more thing, I would be left with a scar and would have to have hair long enough to drape over the scar! Hell naw, give me the SMP
And there is no guarantee that this method will be professional and naturally looking as well. It SOLELY falls upon how good and how well the tech is trained. Alit of techs are not good and you will never know that going in until after your procedure. Problem with hair restoration it’s not regulated very well and the Providers profits literally double or triple over night. That’s enough to cloud anyone’s judgement.
Good video. Thanks for sharing, it helps the industry. “Specialused equipment” is just marketing words for a tattoo machine with the right size needles, and “pigments or medical grade ink” is marketing for quality tattoo ink.
i paid less than 200 euro for the tool + pigment from aliexpress, my friend did the job as a 1st, if you just want thicker hair looking and you're not completely bald you really don't need to pay this much. If you are completely bald then you need a pro to make it look natural as your hair won't cover imperfections
I was a bit worried when you said that you can't grow hair out afterwards, but after reading the comments below I now know you are only referring to people without much hair. Thanks to a hair transplant three years back, I do have a lot of hair; however, I still have to use Toppik to fill in the areas visually bleeding through. My hope is that Micropigmentation will more permanently cover up those areas I presently use Toppik for and the empty areas on the sides and back of my head where hair was taken from. That said, my main question is can this Micropigmentation procedure damage the transplanted hair follicles now that it had been three years plus. In other words, can the ink or procedure itself damage this translated area on the top of my head or is it safe to proceed?
It all depends on your case. If you are thinning evenly all over, it is okay to grow your hair long after SMP, your hair will appear more dense. But if you have almost fully bald areas, growing the rest of the hair long might not be the best look.
I got an smp and I’m considering getting it removed because it’s noticeable after a day of hair growth i have to shave everyday no matter what to leave the house. Or wear a hat if i don’t have time. It’s becoming a huge issue with me. Might remove it and fly my ass to turkey 🇹🇷
Bald is beautiful. But even better: Bald and Tattooed is radical!! But even better than that is a shaved head with tattoo after your remaining head hair has gone unseen beneath your scalp because it matches your skin color and therefore does not show through: white hair if your skin is light or dark hair if your shin is dark, or even better if your skin hair has simply stopped growing at all and you have transformed your prominent dome with a beautiful tattoo! I shaved my sixty year old head of hair in 2009 so that I could have my head tattooed and now there is no shadow because what hair still grows there is nearly invisible! But I keep it shaved regularly because it looks great and feels even better! Don’t ruin it with smp tattoo ink. Enhance it with ART! And if you have an opinion about anyone’s tattoos, wherever on the body they are, I would say feel free to let them know your opinion!! But I would suggest that the probably really do not care what you think.
I just had my 2nd session totalling 2 11hr sessions. In the 8th hour it was excruciating Pain and restlessness, but I didn't eat good before I went, and thats not Recommended. I went to Erik Lorenzo at Artisan in NJ, and he did a GREAT JOB, and VERY professional. Definitely do your RESEARCH before you have this DONE cause there's No going back. Either way it's BETTER then having a Horseshoe Hairline, and people Definitely look at you Diffrent being a BALD man. If you have the Money I Definitely recommend it...
11 hours for each session? I was of the impression of 5-6 hours. Was yours a special case or that's the regular average time? I'm researching a lot and I need to decide.
Yes after smp you aren’t allowed to wash it for two feeks i believe, because the hot water will open your pores and make the ink leak out, same with the alcohol in minixidil/topical finasteride.
Hi you say that after some time even after touch-ups the smp will eventually fade, Is there a way to redo SMP so if repeated it would become permanent as long as the procedure is repeated? I was under the understanding that as long as the smp was touched up The results would be permanent.
Yes that’s correct as long as you have a top up every few years it can go for ever I’ve had mine 7 years still looks good will have a top soon then last another 7 years it’s a no brainier if done correctly
Ive had FUE treatment but sadly my donor area was poor with 2200 graphs! Which still made a big difference but still not the 4000 to 6000 i was praying for.... Should i now get SMP? What do i have to lose right??? Or have another 2 FUE treatments! If someone could help i would really appreciate it

Hair transplant is a business, even if your donar area is weak they will do it cause they want the cash and the results take upto 6 months. Smp is amazing and it looks great. AS LONG AS you keep it super short. If you are ok with it do it. Also you look like a joke when you do smp and try to mix it with long hair. It looks super fake. Smp over hair transplant any day as long as you keep it short.😊
Thank you, I would lile to know also if patients with hair transplant are good candidates And I would have liked to see pictures of what a good smp looks like and a bad one, To see the difference
