Senior Member hairthere Posted May 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 18, 2015 Here is the before and after of Can't Decide's Temp SMP Thickening procedure. CD was a perfect candidate for this as he had enough hair from his HT procedures where the SMP simply acts as a backdrop. The key to making this procedure effective is laying down as much SMP as possible. Our dot size is quite tiny which lends perfectly to creating a Buzz/Shave look, but it also means that we have to work even harder to apply a Thickening effect.

Senior Member haircut Posted May 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 18, 2015 Looks great CD! You must be happy with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted May 18, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Also, here is CD with the crown parted. It shows how well the HTs and SMP work to disguise the thin crown area. Also see attached a shot with hair partially parted exposing the crown, and finally a $$$ shot.... P.S. For those of you that aren't aware, CD was a full-blown NW6!

Senior Member wb280 Posted May 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 19, 2015 Finally a documented case of SMP on a non-shaved head. looks damn good! I ve a question though, u guys keep talking abt the SMP having the thickening effect? I figured SMP are just lots of dots that mimic vvvvvv short hair but ultimately its only 2D... can someone elaborate a bit more? thanks! View my hair loss website.

Senior Member hairthere Posted May 19, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Haircut and David, Thanks guys! It took us a while to develop a proper protocol for doing Thickening Effect procedures but we have it pretty well figured out now. wb20, The SMP acts like Dermatch essentially. You cover as much skin as you can with dots and they work to cut the color contrast between scalp and hair. As I mentioned you need to saturate the scalp with a lot of dots to pull this off. We have more Thickening Effect results on our web site and I'll be posting a bunch more in the next few weeks.

Senior Member Cant decide Posted May 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks guys. We took several pictures to capture the SMP so the hair was divided in some of the pics. However, on a day to day basis and with the way I style it, it usually looks like the very last picture.

Senior Member LondonHTseeker Posted August 11, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 11, 2015 Nice work hairthere!! Milena Lardi has you taught you well. I myself had the SMP thickening procedure from her last week. It's already fixed my thinning issues and I still have two treatments to go. The only way you can see I'm thinning now is if you really study my scalp in strong lighting, which nobody does. Milena Lardi is excellent! Fast, efficient and very skilled. The only downside was getting the SMP into scarred areas wasn't much fun, painwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hairthere Posted August 12, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2015 Thanks guys! London, Glad to hear the SMP is making a difference. Make sure you follow the aftercare instructions as it can have a big effect on the lasting time of the pigment.

Senior Member HARIRI Posted August 12, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2015 Bravo. Do you get your temporary SMP (tricopigmentation) ink and tools from Beauty Medical Italy? Good job and I can see how SMP could save us a lot of fiber consumed to conceal big areas.
