Hey are you looking for a SMP provider in Florida? Please let me know your experience. I'm looking too

Hey Nick, I had SMP treatment over 3 years ago at a top US clinic, and it has not faded one bit, and I have not experienced any of the issues that Scar5 has mentioned. I know this for a fact b/c i have taken hundreds of photos of my scalp, under various lighting, from the day I had the SMP and over the course of these last 3 years up until today. Maybe a bit OCD of me, but this is the only way to track how well the ink is holding up. Also keep in mind, the longevity of your SMP is highly dependent on how well you take care of it, mainly avoiding direct sun exposure to your scalp, and if you do expose your scalp to UV rays you must be sure to always use sunscreen. There are some other basic maintenance responsibilities but Sun exposure is the main thing to avoid- Hats are good:). I did have a 'touchup' over a year after my initial treatment, not due to fading, but b/c I wanted a little more density than most people prefer, but it was no problem, the clinic did it for free as most will for your first 'touchup' or 'enhancement' if you prefer.

As far as finding the best SMP place, it can be tough. Mostly b/c SMP is just now becoming semi-mainstream over these last 6 or 7 years. Most providers use this to their advantage. Lack of information (other than advertising videos and pics for a provider) and lack of LEGITIMATE clients willing to share their experience and/or photos, makes it really hard to separate facts from fiction. It's very easy to find Shills on these forums; not so easy to find actual unbiased and UNPAID smp recipients. Part of this is due to the fact that after most clients receive a successful SMP they no longer feel it necessary to come on these forums.

There is just a lot of sales pitch and BS you have to sift through to get the answers you want. For example, if you consult with 'Clinic A', they will tell you that you should not go to 'Clinic B', b/c they have had dozens of 'Clinic B's' clients come to them and they have had to repair "terrible work" done by 'Clinic B'. And if you then go and speak to 'Clinic B', they will tell you the exact same thing about 'Clinic A'. When I was searching for a provider, at least 6 providers used the "we've had to fix their horrible SMP work" sales tactic when speaking of their competitors. This seems to be the main scare tactic providers utilize, although im sure some of these claims are true. And this is very typical in the cosmetic industry.

You mentioned HIS Hair Clinic above. When I first learned of SMP a few years ago, HIS was the first provider I looked into. Although they have been offering SMP since 2002, they have so many locations with so many different technicians, quality control may be an issue. Also, the method they use seems to be somewhat temporary and fades significantly between 1 and 3 years. (If I can find a link for an example of this on the HIS forum I will post it). This means the client needs to continue going back and PAYING for additional sessions every year or so. Seems like they are geared for customers to keep coming back and spending more money. I am definitely no expert, but I believe that continuous smp treatments to the scalp can cause some issues to the skin, maybe scarring. If you want, PM me and I can give you some more specific information regarding the clinic I who did my SMP and some other good clinics based on my research.

Hi Ken, can you please private message me with the info on where you got your treatment? I'd appreciate it thank you

I looked at having treatment at this company in the uk but the consultation was shocking , i was in and out within 10 mins and it was lies throughout and only interested in taking my money. I asked who my practitioner would be and he couldn't guarantee me a name ,but said they all had 4 years or more experience , he gave me a possible 4 names none I had heard of so after a bit of digging and calling mates who had had SMP I discovered two of them had about 9 months experience and the others about 18 months . His reply to everything was waving his hands about nervously and saying " yeah their great and can do anything u want " ... I asked to see their work and again was fobbed off with him asking for my deposit . I asked about two practitioners who were treated by my mates Paul & Simon and his face went pale and he started stuttering some excuse why I couldn't have them . I have since discovered they walked out on the company . His hair clinic are not for me and I would never recommend them to anyone .

YES. I went to a consultation in HIS Miami office just recently and my consultation was very awkward. The guy basically just went straight to the price and said "I'm sure you've done your research, here's the price" The technician, who was the only person on staff there, his micro pigmentation didn't match his hair or skin tone, able to basically like a gray helmet painted on his head. I'm looking at a couple other places in Miami, Hollywood Florida, and another standalone clinic on the West Coast of Florida. Anyone from Florida have an experience that any of these clinics?? Would love to hear
