How many sessions required for FUE scar coverage by SMP? (Photo)

misterpeteJan 14, 2020
I've had 6000 FUE grafts in total, I've approached various SMP providers in UK. Most providers here charge the same price per session but I've been quoted different numbers for sessions required; ranging between 3 to 6 sessions. How many sessions would it take to do this? I am worried because I don't want to do an insufficient number of sessions and also I don't want to do too many!

You can have SMP to cover the FUE scars when the redness is gone.  In general most people wait 1 to 3 months.

Thank you for your question. You are certainly far enough out from your FUE procedure to move forward with a scalp micro-pigmentation procedure. This should give you the appearance of greater density in the crown and camouflage the scars from your FUE harvesting. It can take 2 to 4 SMP...

You can wash your hair with any shampoo normally after a few days.  Shampoos do not damage SMP or tattoo.  If you're worried, wait a few weeks.
