Question 1

Can SMP hide a hair transplant scar?

Accepted Answer

Yes — scar camouflage is one of SMP's most common uses. Both FUE dot scars and FUT strip scars can be effectively concealed with SMP, blending them into the surrounding follicle pattern.

Question 2

What makes a good SMP candidate?

Accepted Answer

Almost anyone experiencing hair loss, thinning, or scarring is a candidate. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and understand that SMP creates the illusion of density rather than actual hair growth.

Question 3

Does SMP look natural in sunlight and close-up?

Accepted Answer

Yes — modern SMP uses layered micro-dots that replicate real follicles. In natural light and at arm's length, quality SMP is virtually undetectable. Artists blend pigment density and shade so the result holds up under direct sun.

Question 4

How close can SMP match my hairline shape?

Accepted Answer

Very closely. During a preview or consultation, the artist maps a hairline that suits your facial structure, age, and preferences. Templates can be adjusted for soft, natural, or defined styles.

Question 5

Will SMP look real with diffuse thinning?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. SMP adds the appearance of density between existing follicles, creating visual fullness without surgery. It works especially well for diffuse thinning across the crown and mid-scalp.

Question 6

What aftercare do Lexington SMP artists recommend?

Accepted Answer

Lexington artists typically recommend avoiding sun, sweat, and water on the scalp for 4-5 days post-session. Long-term, daily SPF and gentle cleansing maintain results in Kentucky's climate.
