Hi Matt, I just had my third SMP session for FUT and old punch graft donor scars by Caitlin James here in Oz. She caught up with you over a week ago in Leeds at the conference you attended. As a client, I found that it was the second session that I could see a big difference in improvement and I had my third session with her about 5 days ago and I can't see my old scars at all. To say I'm delighted is an understatement! Strip scars are notoriously the hardest scars to hide (when compared to FUE and old punch graft scars). The human eye just wants to follow geometric patterns. I love seeing your work on UA-cam and how you give people (like myself) a second chance at life again! Caitlin is such a perfectionist she wants to book me in for a free one hour session in a month, just to touch up a tiny area I still can't see. Thanks for sharing and I hope you had fun at the conference!
I have a few questions: 1. if I get a skin fade cut so the sides are razor shaved, will the dots stand out since the other hairs will have been shaven off? 2. is it tattoo ink or is it something else? and does it get damaged by sunlight and colour change and blurred over time? 3. if I have the sides shaven, will getting a tan make the dots stand out since it’ll be a different pigment from the rest of my scalp?
Matt, Looks good! 1) How long does the tatoo last? 2) Does it have to get lasered off when it fades? 3) Can the artist go right over the old tattoo? Thanks!
Great job. I had this done into my scar but it's still visible. There is a slight blue tinge to the pigment. I went to a well respected practitioner. What do you think? Scars are very unpredictable.
If scars are small and located near the front of the scalp, it sometimes looks better NOT to fill them in with SMP. It makes the SMP areas seem more real.
I just had my first session of smp into my fue scars (not with this clinic as I’m in the UK) honestly I’m not feeling so optimistic about it yet but gonna give it a chance as it’s only been 2 days and I guess I should wait until my second session and see how I feel.
Those with gray hair can still benefit from the scalp micropigmentation procedure. First, most clients are recommended to cut their hair to a short buzzed length. When this is done, gray hair does not appear as gray because the hair root itself is darker. Hair only shows gray as it gets longer. Second, we use a gray-scale pigment that can be adjusted in shade to blend with lighter hair tones. We simply create a lighter dilution for blending into the existing gray hairs.
tell me you are in california please!! i have at least 3 ugly wide scars from previous hair transplants surgeries now all i can do to camouflage the scars is using toppik and i'm tired of that!!! now my question is do i need to shave my heat to get this procedure done?? cause i don't want to do that?? and how about the price?? thank you!
Hello @matt - I've been shopping around and there's a company that claims one session is all it takes. Are they using better ink - please help me out here!!!!
mohamed ali we do not recommend the 1 session program as we feel there are a lot of disadvantages to that methodology...and also have yet to see a treatment fully completed in 1 session
Hi I have a question . How long will this Pigmention stay as the person's hair color ? In another words will this Pigmention change by time passes or it will stay as it applies for long long time. ?
I can recommend SMP into the strip scar as a form of concealment. Like many people who had a HT I came to hate it for a finish. Every time I looked in the mirror I clearly saw my HT and all I could think was "Fake". I especially hated the "perfect" nature of my new hairline. I came to envy bald men! So I had SMP done. In truth it probably took close to 12 months for me to see my best results where the ink had faded a little in order to match my black hair colour. But even after a single session it was so much better. Yes people could see the scar-line but having colour in it helped a lot and people are far kinder than we give them credit. I spent years worried what people would say/think about my original scars. the truth is that nobody cared! I wish I shaved my head and had SMP into the scar years ago! My concealment is about 75% - 80% which in my opinion is excellent.
Thanks for the Info...I'm in the same boat. One day will give it a shot..How does the plug area look shaved? I'm of the opinion that no one cares if the back of your head is perfect. I would be ecstatic with 75 %.
@@slightlymad2481 It actually looks good! Okay, if you go up to the mirror and look carefully you'll notice it. But does it stand out? Definitely not and not a single person has made any reference to it. I am a school teacher. So you'd imagine I would get plenty of remarks. I've had very few. Anyone who asks I say "Surgery from many years ago". Scars aren't interesting, they're not funny, they're more common that you think, and the SMP has made a massive difference to me. The fact that someone can see a few "dents and bruises" is a very small sacrifice to rid myself of that dreadful HT I once had.
@@JSL2000 Thanks for the Info, not looking for perfection at this point, but I'm sick of fake silly looking hair. Do you shave it bald? I know this post is old.
@@EliteAstro_OfficialChannel Ya, I shave it. I absolutely hated catching glimpses of myself with a "perfect" hairline. If someone looks really carefully they probably could see the hair transplant even with a shaved head. But, lets be honest - who goes around inspecting other people's heads anyhow! My advice - Shave it and free yourself.
@@JSL2000 There is some good micropigmentation places opening around my way, I'll look into it. It's definitely time. I did do in my late 30's with decent results, but grew it back for some reason. Thanks for the advice.
I have a scar from when I was born getting a birthmark removed from my head, do any of these methods work for scars like that? Are there any scars you can’t do anything about?
Ladioz I shaved it off roughly ten years ago, got Micropigmention in scar. It didn't work out for me...My scar was raised, didn't know about Fraxel back then. My big problem was the top. Like little dots even when shaved. Now I'm ready too start the process again, but gonna start with Fraxel. Maybe makeup for the top to lessen the look of the plugs. The Micropigmention looked ok. No complaints on that. The back of my head doesn't need to look perfect.
Hi Yoel, we have clinics in NYC and Houston, TX. The cost typically ranges between $2,500-$3,500 depending on your level of hair loss. For a personalized quote, just give us a call at 646-882-1207.
They have a procedure that's called fraxel that smoothes out the scar but it also widens it a bit. If you're getting SMP though it should look better than just putting the dots on the scar without it.
You can see a whole rectangle now around the scars which is darker, I think that's due to you trying to blend by going above and below the scar but you've gone in too much of a structured way
Wassup Matt, I see you still doing awesome work. Thanks for fixing my eyebrow. It still looks perfect ! Oh yeah the hairline is still awesome as well !
Hi, did you do the treatment with us? Scar concealment can be challenging and it takes an experienced practioner to not only achieve a good result but decide if the scar is in good condition ti even receive pigmentation

Is the SMP permanent? Or how long does it last before a re-touch is required?
Hi I am from Florida , and I currently have 3 head scars . I like this procedure
Are you using a single point or 3 pt needle for these scars?
Amazing Job

Tried pigmentation once and it faded. How many sessions?
Please I'm in Germany currently where can I solve my scars
Hello, this is a video of FUT scar concealing, could you add a video which shows how you conceal FUE scarring?
e s hi yes we will try to produce one of those for you
yes please! not only for me, it will help all fue victims, thank you!
hey when will you produce a video for FUE scars ?
it s been 6 months now. still waiting
did this video get done, im also interested
Matt, Looks good!
1) How long does the tatoo last?
2) Does it have to get lasered off when it fades?
3) Can the artist go right over the old tattoo? Thanks!
Beautiful work, do you use a numbing cream for your clients comfort?
Incredible work
How much does it cost?
Who knows 🤷
Great job. I had this done into my scar but it's still visible. There is a slight blue tinge to the pigment. I went to a well respected practitioner. What do you think? Scars are very unpredictable.
Post a pic please
heres my question. the results are phenomenal.....but what happens when u try to grow out your hair around the scar. wouldnt it look weird?
Then you don't see anything at all.
If scars are small and located near the front of the scalp, it sometimes looks better NOT to fill them in with SMP. It makes the SMP areas seem more real.
Agreed, its all about personal preference.
What is the hair length for optimal camouflage?
Usually a zero to half guard does the trick
Does it wipe off or fade off ?
if hair is longer than that, would you do lines instead of dots?? how would it look like with lines?
I saw a guy called the scalptist do line
Matt did you used to work in chicago by chance? I am pretty sure you did my treatment many years back.
I also have two. What is the cost for this gentleman?
did he get two fut surgeries?
How many sessions are needed and what is the cost?
Does it stick on forever
How long should you wait to get this done?
Wow this is amazing!
I hope here in the Philippines the knowledge of sir Matt arrive
My pigmentation at scar dissolves quick. Is this with others too ?
What zise of needles do you use!
Can you totally shave your head bald with a razor and have the scars covered up or does the hair have to be longer?
CelestialWoodway its actually best to razor or close cut shave for scar camouflage. That way pigment blends with the short hair color
Will it be a lifetime? Or will later become like before.
How long it will last
After watching this one and the DermiMatch SMP tutorial, I started doing SMP. How do I get additional in person training?
Where you located you can practice on my scar.

javier javier hi, it has helped and made them less visible. Different people get different results so the only way to know is to go try it.
@@bendude6748 Same here. Any update mate? How much are you paying?
Anyone here got it done?
What if I’m always clean shaved,bald? My scar is in the upper front forehead area..it’s whitish while the rest of my head is a darker tan..thanks
My scars are from concussions, and cracking my skull open. I kinda like them.
Where on your head are they?
Who cares?
Doctor I just want to that how long this colour remain in head...
5 years
this is lifetime cover on scars?
They fade after time and need touchups.
How long does micro pigmentation last?
Typically 4-6 years
How does it look as your client ages and his hair grays?

Jonathan Capichano they actually look great but my scars in the donor area don't!!
Can you send me a picture?
We just opened our Los Angeles, California clinic! Please give us a call at 646-882-1207 or email info@scalpmicrousa.com to chat.
Did you end up getting the smp done?
ok so....what happens when your hair turns completely gray. Will the strips returns as black????
saintonerism no. Our pigment is on the gray scale. It will lighten over time and never be dark black next to your lighter hair color
Hi if the person has a new scar how long should he/she wait for it to be healed and safe to work on?
1year
what about if the scar is raised a bit?
Do you have female clients and how much does it cost ? i would like to have my edges done.
Do you have them by some injuries in the past?
Would the results look better or worse with slightly longer hair(2 guard)?
Worse of course!
2 questions questions, how much, and is it permanent?
Is it permanent or the colour disappears after w while??
Open up a spot here in Mexico Citi

Can you hide scars from brain tumor removal?
Probably not because those scars are not flat
Amazing
Awesome
What machine are you using for that procedure?
Do you have any locations in Maryland?
Closest would be NYC
Any possibility in india..?
Lmao
If you do scalp micropigmentation can you do hair implant later?
Yes but ideally you would do the transplant first so we can then add density with pigment and conceal the scar
I have a scar from when I was born getting a birthmark removed from my head, do any of these methods work for scars like that? Are there any scars you can’t do anything about?
@@BobRoss-wm3lc Call up Matt and ask him that question. (646) 882-1207
Respect.
Are the results permanent ?
The treatment will last for 4-6 years before a touchup is needed
Forget scar cover up. That's a great scar
Why do these people not have the hair from their transplants? Does the hair fall out over time?
Depends on where they harvest, on this guy he has a scar that was a bit low that might have some DHT grafts.

Nice 😊
The real tragedy isn't the scars, it's the fact you can see that all of these patients hair transplants ended up failing. Bummer.
Yes I had one terrible
Ok but if he shaves his head than wat? Only that part will show as weired tattoo , no?
scar*
I think he has Folliculities
why get a hair transplant if all you're going to do is shave your head.
hair transplant results may be so poor and it doesn't allow you to use it with long hair. therefore you need a buzz cut
Because even with shaving with clippers you can still see the balding pattern
