Dr. William Rassman now Offering Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP) at his Los Angeles Office
Earlier today, Coalition hair restoration physician Dr. William Rassman announced that his Los Angeles based clinic now offers scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP).
Scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP) is an alternative hair loss treatment where individuals suffering from an advanced degree of baldness undergo special scalp pigmentation treatments (much like a tattooing process) to create the look of a full head of closed cropped hair. Furthermore, hair loss sufferers who have already undergone a follicular unit transplantation procedure can utilize scalp micro-pigmentation to camouflage the resulting “strip scar.”
Dr. Rassman reminds patients that although the results of a well designed scalp micro-pigmentation procedure are impressive, hair must be kept short unless the patient is planning on a hair transplant to cover the pigmented scalp. Additionally, Dr. Rassman states that undergoing a micro-pigmentation procedure will not affect the usage of hypothetical, future treatments like hair cloning.
Because scalp micro-pigmentation has remained a “hot topic” on our Hair Loss Discussion Forums for a number of years, it’s exciting to see established hair restoration surgeons researching, practicing, and offering this minimally invasive technique.
To read the official announcement, review a scalp micro-pigmentation case, and read Dr. Rassman’s description of how one hair loss patient’s issue was reversed with scalp pigmentation and not the multiple follicular unit extraction (FUE) sessions he would have required, click here: Scalp Micro-Pigmentation – An Alternative to Hair Transplantation

Yoga,
While tattoo removal has become quite routine, patients who choose to treat hair loss with scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP) are advised to view the procedure as permanent.
Lasers are the gold standard for removing tattoos today. Methods used in the past left visible scarring and damage to the skin. Even today’s modern laser treatments can be very painful and may take several, costly sessions to be effective.
The success of tattoo removal is dependent upon many factors including the type of ink used, the manner and skill in which it was applied and the individual’s healing characteristics among others. It is rare that a tattoo can be completely removed leaving no visible trace. However, in the hands of an experienced physician, laser tattoo removal can be very successful and should not result in visible skin damage.
Best of luck!
