Can I get SMP over transplanted hair area?

Thank you for your question about the possibility of undergoing Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) after a Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) for hairline lowering. Here are some insights that might help you:

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) Overview: SMP is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves tattooing tiny dots on the scalp to mimic the appearance of hair follicles. This can help reduce the appearance of scalp shine and create the illusion of denser hair.

Suitability After FUT: It is generally safe to have SMP over transplanted areas, including those treated with FUT. Since it has been 1.5 years since your procedure, your scalp should be well-healed, making it a suitable time to consider SMP.

Benefits for Sparse Areas: SMP can effectively address the issue of sparse hair density by reducing contrast between your dark hair and light skin. This can enhance the overall appearance of your hairline without the need for additional surgical procedures.

Choosing a Skilled Practitioner: It's crucial to select a practitioner experienced in performing SMP on individuals with hair transplants. They should be able to customize the pigment color and density to match your natural hair and achieve a seamless look.

Consultation and Expectations: Before proceeding, schedule a consultation with an SMP specialist to discuss your goals and set realistic expectations. They can provide personalized advice and show you examples of their work with similar cases.
