Hair Transplant Options

Thinking About a Hair Transplant - Or Not Happy with Your Results?

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a game-changing alternative or a complement to hair transplants. Whether you’re weighing your options or have already had a transplant, SMP can restore the look of a fuller, natural look, boost your confidence, and save you time and money.

Although hair transplants are the only way to relocate real hair on the scalp, they often come with challenges like:

High costs - a good transplant costs 10x more than SMP
Hormone altering medication for life, or the hair falls out
Results can be painful, patchy, and may take up to 6 months to reveal whether it worked.

SMP avoids all of that. By replicating thousands of tiny hair follicles, it creates the appearance of thicker, denser hair - with immediate visible results every session, and finished results in just a month.

It’s reliable, non-surgical, and delivers an undetectable, natural finish that restores the look of thicker, fuller hair. Whether you’re choosing SMP instead of a transplant or to complement one, the results go beyond looks - they allow you the freedom to forget about hair loss.

Hair Transplant Density Not Enough

Many men are left disappointed with their hair transplant, still dealing with thin areas and juggling styles to hide them. This often happens with lower-cost transplants - too few grafts are used, retention levels can be low, and the importance of ongoing medication isn’t always explained. The truth is, if you paid under $20k for your transplant, there’s a good chance you’ll need SMP to finish off what your transplant started, and finally achieve the look you were originally hoping for.

When combined, SMP and hair transplants work perfectly together to create a seamless, natural look:

Increased Density: SMP expertly fills in thinner areas, creating the appearance of fuller, thicker hair and completing your transplant results.
Scar Coverage: Scars from surgery can limit how you barber or style your hair. SMP conceals them seamlessly, giving a natural, unrestricted finish.
Immediate Coverage: Unlike a transplant, which can take months to settle, SMP delivers visible, reliable results from the very first session — fast, predictable, and worry-free.

Scar Coverage

Nobody wants to go through hair transplant surgery just to worry about visible scars. Residual scarring can affect your self-image and have an impact on the final result. Because scar tissue is made of fibers, not skin cells, it does not have hairs, sweat glands or blood vessels and generally has a pale or pink shiny appearance.

FUT Scars

FUT hair transplants often leave a long, visible linear scar across the donor area, typically at the back of the head. These scars can widen over time, leading to a noticeable bald strip that forces many to keep their hair longer to hide the scarring. Unfortunately, even with longer hair, these strip scars can remain visible. Additionally, the direction of hair growth above and below the scar often changes, causing the hair on the back of the head to sit unevenly and making shorter hairstyles unsightly.

Several factors contribute to more prominent FUT scars, including:

Improper incision length (either too short or too long) resulting in scars that are too wide or widen over time
A tight scalp or poor surgical technique

Combining scalp micropigmentation with a hair transplant is a great solution for dealing with a surgery scar. SMP can effectively disguise the appearance of the strip where hair doesn’t grow, creating the illusion of fuller, more even coverage - allowing for slightly more freedom around hair styles.

FUE Scars

While most transplants these days use the FUE method, FUE hair transplants are they do generally still leave scarring in the donor area. Although the FUE process is less invasive than FUT, it is still a surgical procedure and involves extracting individual hair follicles using a small punch (typically 0.7mm–0.9mm), which creates tiny scars. When viewed collectively, these scars can give the donor area a “moth-eaten” or patchy appearance, especially if too many hairs are extracted from one area.

Prominent FUE scars can result from:

Over-extraction of hair follicles from the same area (e.g., 2,000–5,000 punches in one region)
Poor distribution of follicle extraction, leading to uneven, patchy donor areas

Scalp micropigmentation is an effective solution to disguise these scars and create more freedom around your choice of hairstyle. By mimicking the appearance of natural hair follicles, SMP seamlessly blends with your existing hair, restoring balance to your scalp and making scars virtually undetectable.

Recent SMP Reviews

    
 
 
      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Easy 5 stars for Hairline Solutions. I did a fair bit of research before getting my SMP done about four years ago and chose Lesley because of her experience and the quality of her work compared with others I’d seen. Even though I spend a lot of time in the sun, mine lasted for years before needing even a slight touch up. I know others who used different businesses whose SMP faded considerably within the first year, so that really speaks for itself and says a lot about the quality of Lesleys work. She’s also really friendly, professional and easy to talk to. I would 100% recommend her and have done multiple times.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of seeing Lesley for scalp micropigmentation to help with my fine, see-through hair and bring some confidence back. She’s honestly one of the nicest people I’ve met and made the whole process so easy. Lesley spent hours making sure every detail was right and that the final result was perfect. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. I’m actually a bit sad that my hair is finished now and we don’t get to hang out every couple of weeks!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend Lesley Atkinson highly enough. From the moment I met her, I knew I was in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about her clients. She's incredibly intelligent, funny, down to earth, and puts your needs first every step of the way. Lesley has an amazing talent for helping you visualize your greatest masterpiece—you. Hair micropigmentation isn't just about restoring the look of your hair; it's about restoring confidence, self-esteem, and the way you see yourself every time you look in the mirror. As someone who struggled with feeling insecure about being bald, making the decision to have SMP was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Lesley made the whole experience comfortable, professional, and enjoyable. Her attention to detail is second to none, and the results exceeded everything I hoped for. (Day 1) To any man who has lost confidence because of hair loss, I encourage you to take that first step. Don't let insecurity hold you back any longer. Invest in yourself—you deserve to feel confident again. Thank you, Lesley, for changing not only how I look, but how I feel. Your passion, skill, and genuine care make you one of a kind. I couldn't be happier with my results so far and will proudly recommend you to anyone considering hair micropigmentation. 💯🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
