Dr. Feller,
You bring up a good point. I have been through a number of HT procedures 20 years. I too worried about the growth rate. As you point out, things always worked out.
I had a hairline revision three months ago. This was my first HT in 15 years. Given my past experience, I am not even paying attention to the growth of my latest procedure. I know from past experience that it will grow when it grows.
The moral of the story - A watched pot never boils. :-)
Dr. Cooley,
Thanks you so much. The reason that I ask is I am basically out of donor area and wanted to try this to thicken the crown a little. I am currently using SMP but am always open to new ideas.
Thanks again!
Dr. Cooley,
What a great transformation!
I do have a question. Has PRP been used at times other than at the time of an HT to thicken the crown area? Is that even possible?
Thanks
Haircut
Hi CD,
Well, as you know, temp SMP uptake and duration varies by individual. Not sure that you would really need 4-5 passes a year. I have found that a full pass every six months or so is fine.
Like I said though, everyone is different.
Joe,
I believe that your assessment of temp SMP is 100% accurate. I have been doing temp SMP (Beauty Medical) for approx 18 months.
IMHO, the key to success with temp SMP is to stay on top of the touchups.
Joe,
Great SMP write-up. Perhaps one day there will be a good permanent SMP solution. As of 2015, such a solution does not exist.
I have been elated with my Beauty Medical SMP. I have been seeing Nicole at Shapiro Medical Group for temporary SMP for a little over a year.
Honestly, Beauty Medical SMP has changed my life!
