I recently had SMP. Does SMP compromise the health of scalp enough to jeopardize the hair already transplanted there?

Asked By:bmurphy710 in Charleston, South Carolina

I recently had Micropigmentation (SMP) done around a strip scar, and am pleased with the result. My question is - Does doing SMP throughout the crown and top of scalp as filler compromise the health of the scalp enough to: 1) in any way jeopardize the hair already transplanted there? 2)Does it jeopardize the remaining original hair through top and crown 3)Does it compromise the health of scalp to in any way jeopardize success of future FUE grafts implanted there? I would love an informed answer.
