Smp Results On Long Hair, To Fill The Thin Areas.

They are quite hard to find, haven't seen a reliable testimony. I want to get SMP on my thinning areas to ditch the concealers and avoid a risky hair transplant. They advertise SMP for women so it must be alright looking as well. Shaving myself bald is not a wish of mine, especially after my recent FUE. A grade 3 buzz for when I'm much older and thinning, maybe. But right now I need a fancy haircut with long locks/bangs, desperately.

I think SMP looks great, just not good for the hairline.
Thank you for the link, I also saw a forum testimony on another forum, but it's not as popular as it should be.

Vinci sounds like the place to go to, they've got "clinics" in Paris and London which would be perfect for me.

Of course there's a lot of speculation about the ink fading away or turning to blue, and also some debate on the permanent vs temporary treatment solutions.

I'll probably get it done this year.

Reality is very different to a photograph.

Surely in real life especially in strong sunny days it would just look like wispy thin hair with a dark scalp.

Sounds like a bad idea if you ask me

This is why I'd rather see forum testimonies than SMP clinics adveritising their results with cherrypicked pictures. I do have decent density, my thinning is tolerable and I don't think it'd be shocking.

I thought about getting SMP without touching the hairline at all to fill in thinning areas and buzzcutting afterwards.

I felt the same way, but I actually got to see my first SMP in person who was a friend of a friend. Luckily he had his hairline still and just SMP'd the vertex. Don't know how far he was gone on top, but it looked pretty damn good imo. I didn't do close up examine or rub his head or anything like that lol. It was pretty fucked up how it all came about because we were discussing tattoos and our mutual friend was like "You know this guy tattooed his head".

Just don't do it on the hairline because its pretty much a dead giveaway something is up.

Yes I think I should avoid the frontal third. I was thinking about using it on the midscalp and crown. But no way I'm buzzing my hair for at least ten years.

bump! I saw my thinning crown under bright lights yesterday night, don't want to risk shockloss and donor depletion from another hair transplant there, I WANT TO BELIEVE IN SMP FOR DENSITY EFFECT!
