SMP at HIS hair - Scar and crown 20/03/14 and 27/03/14.

[El Nino]

Hey everyone!

 

I've had permanent SMP at HIS Hair in Manchester with Danny on Thurs 20 March and Thurs 27 March 2014. Both sessions lasted 2-3 hours and went great, Danny is a top bloke.

 

He used shade 32 on the scar and 30 in the crown for session one. And 30 for both in session two.

 

I'm going to wait a while to see how this turns out before deciding if/when I go for a third session.

 

Before.

 

 

 

 

 

After 1st session.

Already looks nicely disguised. Is the scar itself indented or flush along with the skin?

Thanks for sharing. The pics look great.

Thanks for the comments guys.

 

Mickey,

 

My scar is flat apart from one small area at the back where it's raised slightly.

Just took these pics after my haircut. The scar is looking much better but I think it'll need another session, I don't think too many people get away with just two sessions in the scar. They can really suck up the ink.

 

The SMP in my crown does a good job of adding density and looks great but my crappy camera doesn't do it justice. Looks much better in person.

Thanks Arrie! I'm lucky that I can pull off the military hair style but I'm going to grow it a bit on top so I can style it. And see how it looks with the SMP in the crown.

SMP and hairstyle look good, looks really natural

 

so the HT was a success? you seem to have decent amount of growing hair

Thanks man.

 

I have only suffered from crown loss, here are some pics from pre op HT 1 six years ago. My crown would be slick bald by now if I hadn't done anything.

That's pretty impressive overall after looking at the preops.

Thanks for the comment Spanker.

 

I believe SMP is a very good option for putting the finishing touches onto good HT work.

 

SMP is also a good option for repairing poor HT work and for virgin scalps who want a shaved look.

The scar faded further and I had it touched up 6 weeks ago.

 

I am very happy with how it looks now and will be thrilled if it stays like this.

 

Touch up.

 

 

 

 

 

6 weeks.

congrats man this is your third one right? hope this one lasts for you

if not since you've had your third it should be guaranteed against fading one year from your first session

 

after talking a lot with one HIS rep they say scars can take up to 3-5 sessions or more and some scars apparently "suck up ink" a lot

Cheers mate! Yeah this is the third time for my scar.

 

I actually got this touch up done under the guarantee because I didn't want a full session and my crown doing too.

 

I was quoted 2-3 sessions so my next full session will be paid for and I will do the crown again and the scar if it needs it. But I want to hold it off for as long as possible.

 

And yes scars are unpredictable with how they react to the ink. Just like they are when it comes to revisions, FUE grafts, lasers, etc.

 

Unfortunately the only way to find out how they react is to try it.
