Some patients have a large bald or balding area and not enough donor hair supply to cover the entire problem area.
Maybe we have found a solution for these type of patients that would otherwise have a poor result because of very low density hair implantation.
What would happen if we combine a fairly new technique called SMP (scalp micro pigmentation) with FUE hair transplantation.?
First let's explain a bit about SMP.
SMP is an extremely fine tattoo procedure where hair stubbles are immitated. Small dots of pigment are inserted just below the skin. For those wearing a very short hair style it gives a 2D illussion of hair.
Here is an example where the patient was virtually completely bald and had SMP done to make the scalp look like it is covered with little stubbles of hair.

Although the effect is very natural, it still lacks a 3d perspective.
Therefore this patient opted to perform a low density hair transplantation in order to get a much better effect.
This is the area that was cover using a low density approach using 3500 grafts, covering as much area as possible
2 weeks after the FUE hair transplantation the patient send his pictures. It is very clear that the combination of the SMP and Hair transplants has given a very natural effect and a good illusion of density
