Senior Member NicH0le007 Posted October 10, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2014 hi there, ill be having smp done in a few months,just wondering what people are taking/using to prolong there current hair state. Minoxidil has research showing it quickens the the fading process in smp? can anyone speak from experience ? Minoxidil (Rogaine) has been shown to speed up the fading process in SMP but not enough that we would recommend stopping use. The benefits of the minoxidil (Rogaine) far outweigh the effect it has on overall fading in our opinion. I recommend my patients to just discontinue use for first 30 days of healing. You might want to ask one of the physicians this question. You have other options. Good luck. I am the SMP and Micro-Pigmentation Specialist for Shapiro Medical Group. Always feel free to message me privately with any additional questions you might have.

Regular Member mattiulo Posted October 10, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted October 10, 2014 Piggy backing on what Nicole said, it is smart to wait 3-4 weeks post SMP to restart your rogaine regimen- as this will allow time for the pigment to fully heal inside your skin. Once healed, like Nicole said rogaine can work well alongside SMP. -Matt I'm an SMP Practitioner and Educator with 5+ years in the industry. I wear the treatment proudly!
