EnhancedScalp

Client wanted to keep a natural, slightly recessed look. 

Hope everyone is well, It's been a while since I've come on the forums.  

Just wanted to share a few transformations.

Feel free to ask any questions, or need any advice.

@ciausDepends on how long we leave our igloos

His head in the before was like that due to wearing a hair system and working outside construction. Was a tricky one to hide, but it worked.

Feel free to ask questions!

Looks phenomenal. I’ve often thought about SMP for adding a denser look. 

Ty, it could be an option!

how many sessions to get that result and also what was the cost?

does smp last longer on scar tissue compared to normal skin?

 

 

3 sessions for this particular scar.  Every scar is different, and every approach is different.   Cost varies from scar to scar, and how much work is involved.

Longevity of SMP is unpredictable, and it varies on each individual, including how it is maintained.  

This was a challenge as the client had very minimal hair to blend with.  You must be very careful with scars, especially this one  that you don't end up with a DARK linear scar instead of a white one.

Patience and lots of blending required.

Where are you located? I can try to recommend someone.

Interesting to see the first "foundational" session. Assuming the patient follows the correct after care procedures, when they come back in for the 2nd session is there a typical/average % of additional density you apply after seeing how their skin takes to the ink? Just thinking if I were to be in your shoes, I wouldn't want to create all the dots in the first session and have to re-touch or even completely re-do the ones that don't take at all. 

Everyone follows their own process.  I like to give the client immediate results, and im quite accurate with my color selection on first session.  Also, I'm very meticulous when it comes to making sure my the pigment retains, I do a lot of wiping to make sure during the procedure.

Looks really good! What is the plan for the 2nd session? Love to see the end result.

More density and shade most likely. Going to have to go fairly dense to try and mask the hyperpigmentation.  Should be a fun one.

pics attached, when he took off his hat I thought right away he had smp done in past, and had laser, then looked closer and assumed it was a hair system.  Always something new!

Hi, I had an smp client recently book with me that showed me his head during a consultation and i've never seen skin discoloration like this ever, I asked him if he wore a hair system and he said no, so  maybe the guys in here with experience can chime in.  Thanks!

That's an awesome mature hairline, frames the head and face perfectly. And the density matches all over, this is a portfolio piece. Looks like one of those lucky guys that has all the hair in the world but doesn't want to bother doing anything with it. Got your sig in the bottom right, the only thing missing is the frame to hang it on the wall!

A huge improvement! His skin color is huge asset to the results. 👌

His skin was actually in very bad shape. Took lots of detail and blending to make it look balanced as you're seeing it.

Wow complete reversal!  I don't think I've ever seen someone with that much loss get SMP done. Looks like he's even thinning pretty bad in his donor. 

How much longer did this take over more 'typical' cases? Did you have to spread each session over more than one day?

When it settles, it blends perfectly . The thinning nape won't matter, its the blending into the existing hair which matters. When he cuts his hair down with a 0 guard it will be perfect throughout. 

I believe his sessions were about 4 hours each session.  His third should be much shorter.

3 sessions spread out over 6 weeks.

Excellent work 👍🏽 Really suits this chap ! 

Yup, turned out great, still one more session to go. Thank you.

Great result, really like the more natural hairline. 

Thanks, I couldn't do much with the hairline because the previous artist really botched it well and I didn't want to go beyond it and create contrast with the botched/migrated/dark work.  I just blended into it and tried to balance it better.
