Time gap between hair transplant and SMP

vputtasNov 25, 2016
I had my third hair transplant 3 months back. The overall results look good but I also want to get SMP for overall better density look. How long should I wait to get SMP after transplant. Is 6 months good amount of time?

Chillpill898,Thanks for the question. We use 100% organic inks from BeautyMedical. It is completely safe. Advance stage male pattern men can have a trico-pigmenatation procedure to create a" buzz" look. It is fine to use in hair transplant recipients. It can increase "density" in thinning areas....

The cost of Scalp MicroPigmentation like any cosmetic surgery is variable.  It also depends on the work involved.  There is no down time but you would likely need more than one session.  SMP is considered permanent like a tattoo is considered permanent.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.   It would depend on your medication as well.
