Proves a point I guess.

This whole thread seems quite judgmental. For us NW6's who have no other options that don't cost $30,000.. SMP seems like quite a good option. Tell me these don't look good: http://www.dermobeautycenter.it/tric...ne-gallery.php I doubt any one of you in this thread is a NW6 just by your reaction. Get to my level and then start talking!Comment

Those don't look good.Comment

The only viable application for SMP is perhaps to fill in a strip scar area after procedure.Comment

I might go for that.
I have changed my mind about these tattoo's. I saw a great video of this white boy with a big head to boot. He didnt look good bald or shaved head either.
But he goes and gets the tattoo and he looks great. If he looks great everyone will.
Check it out.

I watched the video; admittedly it looks OK.
If they can figure out how to make it only semi-permanent, and removable, then there might be something to it.Comment

SMP by M Lardi is semi permanent, fades away in 1.5-2 years
Has anyone actually seen someone with SMP in person? Some of these results(like guy in video) look very good but what if you sit across someone at the table, outdoors, and have drink or lunch , would it still look convincing?Comment

You're right clandestine, the way I see it, SMP should really only be used to maybe fill in a scar. But to think of SMP as a viable solution for the majority of hair loss sufferers is utterly ridiculous. Matter of fact, I see SMP as something that could be fodder for Saturday Night Live. Bottom line is that none of today's hair loss/restoration options appeal to the majority of hair loss sufferers and that is just an utter shame.Comment

Indeed, most present treatments could be comedic fodder:
As you noted the reality is that present treatments only appeal to the desperate. My mother's side of the family has extensive hair loss. If I ask a bald uncle or relative about doing something the typical response is "sure if there was something that could actually be done."
Some people are so desperate they will actually get "tattoo hair." The majority won't even entertain the idea. There's a very good reason "only 2% to 7%" of people seek treatment. The primary problem is that there is no truly effective treatment and thus present treatments will only appeal to a minority of people who are so desperate they will try virtually anything.Comment

You're totally right man, and you seem like a very intelligent and sensible guy. I cannot stand when people say things like "most men are not bothered by hair loss because they don't seek out treatments". Nothing could be further from the truth. I know plenty of young men who don't do anything about their hair loss not because they are not bothered by it, but because they view today's treatment options as limited, ineffective, and/or riddled with side effects. Yet instead of having new and more effective treatment options, we are presented with the same tired old b.s. treatments and variations of those treatments. As you stated, only 2% to 7% of men suffering from hair loss seek treatment and it sure as hell isn't because they are simply unaffected by hair loss.Indeed, most present treatments could be comedic fodder:

exactly, or maybe surgeons could go beyond what they would usually take from the donor area by an extra 1000, 2000 grafts and then fill in the thinned out donor with tattooing.Originally posted by Highlander
This is an idea I am hoping to take forward. Whether surgeons would agree to this, I am not sure.Comment
Now thats one way to deal with it.
