Regular Member dotdashdashdash Posted December 3, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 3, 2022 Hey everyone! Trying to find a reputable SMP to add density. I had a FUE in March 2021 and take 1 mg finasteride and use minoxidil. I have some thin areas and want to do something about it but was told by Dr. Bloxham that another HT would be too risky right now for shock loss. Do you have any recommendations for Boston? I'd drive to NYC for a hair transplant, but driving back and forth for multiple SMP sessions would be hard for me. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SeanT1 Posted December 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Hi friend, I've done this personally. Anything added in an improvement, no matter how slight. It's definitely worth considering in my opinion but know that it's mainly for the crown and FUE scars, but it can work to add density across the whole scalp. Sunlight will always be against you also.

Thank you so much. Looks fantastic! A couple of questions, if you have time. Did you get SMP to your entire scalp, though, or only in specific areas? I had a phone consult with Scalp Micro USA and they insisted they had to do the entire head and charge full price. Did you have to shave your head to have the SMP? Lastly, any tips on researching a place? I am in Boston and don't see any recommendations on this forum. I'm not sure what to look for, either. Thank you!

Thank you! Hi dotdashdashdash, hope you're doing well. I had the entire top/crown of my scalp done, but not the sides (I'll likely do this in the future though to hide fue scaring). I didn't need to shave my head for the SMP treatment. YouTube is a decent place to see results, but I recommend viewing results from weeks after the SMP treatment, the reason for this is that SMP looks darker for the first couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you can smp temporal points as well, one side of mine is pretty botched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, some artists are able to do it with a grade 4 or lower cut, but I imagine a close shave is best for optimal results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
