Scalp micropigmentation

Semi-Sly:
So I’m moving in Fort Lauderdale Florida for about two months just trying to place on for size to see if I want to move and I have some time on my hands.  This area of Florida there’s a lot of schools to teach SMP.

I decided to look into it and found one that looked very credible and there has very good results.  After talking to the owner I found that I could fit The course in while I am still here and he even offered to do my head free of charge if I let them do the last session during the class itself.

After all the illnesses and all the chemicals my remaining hair is like chemo head hair.  And that is so fine and translucent that even when I shave I still look like a chemo head!

So I decided to give it a try.  I did my first session last week and they’ll do the second session later this week.  I like the idea that they do it gradually because they don’t want to overdo it.  I was really nervous about it but now after the first session I’m really pleased!  It looks very natural and my head looks more like a guy who is bald by choice rather than a guy who is bald by chemo!  I look like an older guy from his hair is cleaning and receding and going through which is just exactly how I should look!!  And if I do choose to grow the horseshoe Flattop back next spring my hair will look fuller

Should I choose to make a business out of this I could make a lot of money at it but I just wanted to learn it because I have a few Barber customers who have horrible scars from old hair transplants Or from brain surgeries.  A good SMP artist can really camouflage those scars and allow a guy to wear a short, or closely tapered,  haircut again!  I hope to get really good at this!

Laser Man:
Glad to hear you are pleased with the results of SMP.  It seems to have become much more popular since we first discussed it on these boards many years back. I hadn't thought about using SMP to cover scars, but it makes a lot of sense. 

Good luck with your coursework.

Sounds like it is working well for you @Semi-Sly , I hope you can post a photo of the results.  Your post did get me thinking.  Many of you know I am also an active member of a beard board, and we see a lot of guys with sparse beard coverage the want to have a beard.  I wonder if the same procedure would work to make a beard appear thicker.  Kind of a permanent 5 o'clock shadow?  Since I dye my beard, I know it appears much thicker immediately afterwards because the skin underneath will be stained darker by the dye, but it fades away after 24 to 48 hours.

That could be another side business for you.

Semi-Sly:




As requested

slybeard:
Wow!  That looks really good @Simi-Sly

I was concerned that it would look too dark and unnatural, especially for a mature guy.  But is looks perfect, a nice and slight shadow just as you would expect to see.

I really like your horseshoe/biker mustache with it as well.
