Spexhair SMP into scar with Beauty Medical in Milan 19th July 2012

Spex thanks for posting not purposely being critical here but I don�t think it works well with long hair just judging from the pictures you have presented. It might be fine with a shaved head that still has some hair. How about posting a picture at the exact same distance as the before pictures which is not as close up.

**Spex** · 07-20-2012, 07:51 AM

Thanks for your opinion however the pics don't do the result justice and are macro close. I am uploading a video shortly.

The results are remarkable in person in my opinion and as far as I'm personally concerned a great success.

I plan to meet Spencer Kobren in LA in Septmeber and he will give you his opinion for what that's worth to you.

I agree the pictures are too close to really give a proper evaluation but they do have the stubble effect down fairly well.

Well done mate. Looks super realistic close up. Will be great to see how it looks with a #2/#3 guard, which i believe you're planning to do soon. Cheers for the update Spex.

Topcat I think when we take a few steps back to observe it, it will kind of create a camouflage effect, greatly reducing the scar appearance. The up close shots may actually look more real when the hair is cut to a 3 blade whereas conversely I would anticipate that the results will look more realistic from a distance when the hair is slightly longer as it is now. It will be nice to see if this is indeed the case.

It's a great improvement imo Spex.

Thanks guys! See these videos too.

Had real issues uploading the entire session due to size but hopefully i will get around it soon. Spencer will hopefully also add the interview on his site and here

Great videos Spex.

I said on one of the other major forums that I think it will be great for scarring and used in conjuction with fue for people who want to keep their hair very short.

Very honourable of you to pay tribute to Joetronic and Hasson&Wong in the second video.

The garden looks very well maintained, does your wife have you doing the gardening?

Just to add - i have NOT yet washed my hair. I intend to do it tonight.

You might see some residue or build up of ink still in the pics and video.

I aim to take clearer pics and video tomorrow once washed.

Thanks Spex for sharing this. If you have read the other SMP threads on the forum, I have voiced my opinion many times that I think it's very bad idea. However since this seems to be temporary, I think it�s ok for some people, but in general a permanent scalp tattoo seems very silly and dangerous to me. I agree with Topcat that is just looks like stubble under your hair, but it DOES look very real so this is a big plus. I�d be curious to see what their work looks like on a very bald guy. The stuff that I see from the other clinics looks very fake to me and I kind of feel sorry for the people who rushed to have the permanent stuff done. At least with this if they hate it it will fade.

I�m glad that Spencer Kobren decided to take a closer look at this, I and very curious to hear his opinion since it holds so much weight. From what I gather from his show he does not recommend SMP but he seems neutral and open about it also.

Cheers. Its great Spencer is showing interest!

Here is a pic of my hair washed :

You soooo have to show us a #1 or #2...

I would love to see how well she can blend a scar at a #1 cut.....That would be the ultimate test in my opinion. Many of us would just like to trim down to that style but can't due to the obvious issue. Personally I think a combo of FUE and this treatment (done right) could almost eliminate the visual look of the scar.
With your hair longer, it definately adds a more perminent concealer effect. Because it looks so much like stubble ( I'm quite impressed at how small the dots are...almost the same size a a large folicle) I would think it would literally blend in with existing hairs at a #1 cut. A cut any longer and it might look off due to the 2D effect it would show next to hair.

spex, any information on cost? I'm assuming it should be less expensive compaired to the perminent options offered at HIS, GLI, AS, and similar outfits? Looking forward to seeing that short Hair cut!
