Default Beauty Medical/SMP

I had my follow-up session with Milena from Beauty Medical as did my brother and two other guys. I will be posting pics soon and will reserve giving a full write up until the work has had a chance to settle and I can wash my hair. I will say that what I have seen so far is very impressive, and as of right now the thinning in my crown appears to be gone!

One of the other patients who had it done was not a HT candidate (diffuse donor) and was wearing his hair very closely cropped (about a #1 buzz). The work Milena did on him was amazing. I'm sure he will be posting his results as well.

More to come....

GBU, the ink is designed to fade completely after two years.

SBT, There is still some ink residue in my hair and I cannot wash it for a few more days, so it's tough to give a true assessment. I do have a good amount of hair transplanted in the crown, which is why there is residue. Prior to getting the SMP done, I had to style my hair a bit to cover up the thinning. Now my hair can go in any direction and it looks full; almost like I applied Dermatch. I am hopeful this effect remains after the hair has been washed.

Milena does have some long-hair results on her web site and they look quite good, IMO.

Congratulations, Hairthere. The ink in the hair does add to the effect so I believe the effect will diminish a bit once the ink is washed out but the difference will still be quite good. I look forward to seeing your photos.

Thanks for the info Joe, and for helping to expose Milena! I will be posting pics soon. As I mentioned previously, the work on the other patient was very impressive.
