I chose to have this done about 3 years ago. Had 1st touch-up last week. NO regrets. It looks great and it was seamless. I too had some lymph node swelling, but it only lasted a couple days. If youre on the fence about getting this done. Just do it. Just research fully whomever you have do this. Make sure they are reputable and professional.

Hi Danny Boy, Thanks for stopping by! I super appreciate your honesty about feeling eager and nervous, because I felt the same exact way, and this is perfectly normal! I'm hoping that us admitting this inspires others to consider this to help them regain their strength and confidence in their self image. There is nothing wrong with the bald look, but this may be a great option for many. Personally, I had a touch up since this original video due to a bit more hair loss, but I'm very very satisfied with the results. I hope that inspires confidence in you and others. Stay dope my friend. :)

I totally empathize with you Andrew. Hair is a majority of our lifetime. This procedure has improved my quality of life dramatically. I started going a little more bald, so I do need to get a little touch up. I'll be doing an update video as I'm learning as I go along, but overall, this is a great solution to hair loss for all (Men & Women). The channel, Dr. Gary Linkov, also provides really great information on hair loss solutions. Totally recommend!

Glad I found this video, I think it looks great. Just wondering if there's a way the artist can perform the procedure that makes the smp look like stubble so you can use a trimmer on the tightest settin?

@TechCrackedWeekly 2 жыл бұрын

Most certainly can. This is how mine is done. But you have a little flexibility. Lately I've been keeping it really tight, but you usually have a bit of wiggle room if your hair does grow a little. I normally can go about three days before I feel I need to cut my hair again. 😎

@revilsdr Жыл бұрын

You cannot let the remaining natural hair grow too long with SMP, the scalp pigmentation procedure is a one dimensional illusion that looks like hair stubble but if you have natural hair growth more than just slight stubble next to a large area of SMP you can easily tell it’s not natural.

Just go to *Scalp Micro USA* or another reputable company that can produce a plethora of before-and-after photos. I think Scalp Micro USA has locations in NYC NY, Chicago IL, Houston TX, and Los Angeles CA - basically across the country options for those willing to travel a reasonable distance. There’s a clinic I saw in Orlando FL called *Discreet Cosmetic Studio* that does good work; it’s a woman and, from what I could gather from her site and social media posts, she is TALENTED. There’s also a company named *Taylor Perry SMP* in Hollywood FL. Taylor Perry himself and the other SMP artist there (forgot his name …sorry) are both seemingly good at what they do. There are options out there. I’ve been researching… for a friend. 😂 We have to do our research and lift as we climb, fellas.

I got this done and love it. The only thing you did wrong in my opinion was you got the hairline done too straight. It looks a little fake. I got my hairline curved each side. That way it looks more natural. I'd recommend anyone getting it done to go for the curved hairline

I am contemplating doing SMP. However I have a long FUT scar that I'm afraid will still be visible and I'm very self-conscious about that. I don't know what to do...I do the simplicity of shaving your head off. It's every 3 days but it's cheap and easy to do.

@TechCrackedWeekly Жыл бұрын

That's a very good point Allan and I understand your concern. I have also seen in content that SMP is also a means of dealing with scars of many shapes and forms, and it may actually help your scar appear less prominent. Trust me. I totally understand being self-conscious, which is why I wanted to make this video and it's great to have you here. I would encourage you to investigate a bit more. There is also some really great content on KZfaq of using SMP to cover scars. I can also say, happily, that it is very nice to not have to worry about expensive haircuts and the inconvenience of having to schedule time to get them done. I have purchased my own edge up tool just for cleaning up my temple areas very nice, and they I shave the rest of my head with a machine. It's very very nice. So nice, I don't miss having a lot of hair to be honest. 🫡

Hi ksolis85, How much the procedure cost depends on the amount of work needed. Mine was around $2000. Mine still is looking great, but I've been reading a touch up can be expected anywhere between 3-6 years. I think it depends on how well you take care of it like a tattoo (how well your skin takes the procedure, using sunscreen, sun exposure). 🙂

i have seen several videos, if you leave it 3 days or more unshaved it looks weird. and then if you have to shave or buzz cut every other day, then what's the advantage of SMP? it gives you a hairline that most time they can tell it's fake and you become self-conscious that sb will discover it.

@Alex-ut7op Жыл бұрын

Most people that get it done want to shave their head every day or two anyway

@TechCrackedWeekly Жыл бұрын

Hi George, You have some excellent points that I certainly agree with. It most likely is true that if you leave it 3 days or more it does look wierd; this is what happens to me. You may not have to shave or buzz everday though. Chances are you can go a day in between without doing so. Personally, I prefer to buzz everyday though, unless I'm sitting at home for the weekend or wearing a cap. However, when buzzed, it looks REALLY GOOD. The only way someone will be able to tell in this situation is if they get very up close to your scalp (as in inches away). But the person looking, has to be paying close attention. Overall, it's a great alternative to the bald look or more complicated processes like surgery. Thanks for stopping by and asking your question. :)

@TechCrackedWeekly Жыл бұрын

That's a great point as well. I started out by trying to shave my head before doing this procedure, but the problem was my head still looked gray in areas where hair was growing. The procedure allows me to buzz my hair very short, while maintaining an even color appearance. :)

I think only one person noticed but I think it's because I needed a follow-up. It's hard to say because no one else has said anything. If it helps, as long as you keep your real hair trimmed down to match, it blends very well. I'm very self critical and try to look for flaws in everything. My procedure isn't 100% perfect, but I'd say it's in the high 80's or low 90's to be very honest. I put myself under a magnification mirror to find flaws though. 😅
