Nevada Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I thought I read that Hasson & Wong and Shapiro Medical Group were going to offer temporary SMP, but I did not see any information on their respective websites. Is the only option at this time located in Italy? From what I've seen, temporary SMP is the only way to go. Permanent SMP is just too risky. Even if the permanant SMP is done exactly right in terms of color, size, location, density and even if the ink does not lose its orignal color and integrity, the customer's skin and hair color will surely change over time.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted March 4, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 4, 2013 Nevada, Eventually, Feller Medical, Lindsey Medical, Shapiro Medical, and Hasson & Wong will be offering temporary SMP. However, I'm fairly certain they are still experimenting with the procedure and pricing, and do not actually offer it at this point in time. I'm not 100% certain when these clinics will start offering temporary SMP; maybe Janna or Joe will drop by and comment.

Nevada Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thanks for the replies Future_HT_Doc and hairthere. It appears SMP offers, or at least has the potential to offer, substantial improvement to certain types of hair loss. Personally, I would only feel comfortable with temporary SMP. I hope those pursuing all that it takes to offer quality temporary SMP in the US and Canada carry through. Many (but not all) results look very good and myself and probably numerous others would be willing to give it a try. Please post any progress made and I may become one of your future customers.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted March 12, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nevada, Personally, I'm a fan of temporary SMP (compared to permanent). I think I like the idea that it can act as a temporary thickening agent for 6-24 months, but does have to be etched on the scalp forever. It's great to see several of our proven clinics adapting temporary SMP. I think we've all seen some very impressive results so far, and I believe we will continue seeing these results as more individuals become involved.

Senior Member Janna Posted March 19, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2013 We are doing small number of smp treatments currently on select patients to find out more about it before we officially offer it. #1, we'd like to get some more experience/practice on the technique of applying the smp. #2, we need more results at 2, 3, 4+ months to find out what we need to do to achieve satisfactory outcome from the treatments. We've done a handful of patients so far since January and are looking to do about dozen before we decide on the price.

Senior Member james84 Posted March 19, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2013 Great that these clinics may start to offer SMP. I hope SMP is free of charge to patients who use these clinics and in turn scar may stretch or widen. Now that would be a great gesture....who is first:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
