Why aren't more people talking about non-permenant SMP???

It lasts 2 years.

What I don't understand is why it can't be permanent?

It can be but that was not Milena's intention when she designed this system. To make it permanent would be a simple act of making a deeper incision and designing an ink that does not fade.

That sounds sensible. I'd go for that if need be!

I have made my opinion clear many times in other threads that scalp tattooing is one of the stupidest ideas anyone can do. As someone who has several tattoos, many of which supposedly have true blacks that are not supposed to fade or turn bluish, I will tell you that this is complete horseshit! Every shade of black or gray will turn bluish green over time. I believe that people are being taken advantage of by these permanent scalp tattoo “artists” and I think it’s just a horrible way to deal with hair loss.

This on the other hand actually seems promising and it makes more sense if it acts the way it is being advertised. This work also looks much more refined then what I have seen from other places doing it. I’d like to see some pictures of what it looks like when it is faded.

I agree completely. This is why I really want to know what supposedly natural ingredient she is using. From there we could make an educated decision on what will actually happen after it "fades".

I couldn't agree more with your first paragraph, Delphi. It truly is one of the stupidest ideas that I can think of. Not only that, I think that it is insane. Maybe I can understand if SMP is done to camoflauge a scar, but in terms of using it to actually act as some kind of illusion of hair is just downright stupid and ridiculous, if not insane. I was excited when Joe Greco pioneered the use of PRP in hopes of hair regrowth because there was legitimate science behind it, even though I don't think the hair regrowth results weren't as expected. But not only is there no legitimate science behind head tattooing, but it could cause permanent damage to one of the most visible areas of a person's body (the head). This is really a crock, I believe.

Depressed, the work that Milena is doing, imo, is extremely impressive and natural looking. It appears (even under magnification) just like real stubble. On a shaved head the effect looks like hair just beginning to grow in. On someone who has plenty of hair like myself, it works more like a Dermatch effect.

Regarding causing damage; her needle does not penetrate deep enough to cause any harm (that's one of the reasons why it fades after two years). Dr. Feller observed the process and deemed it perfectly safe.

Hairthere... We would love to see some photos of the work Melina did for you. Just to see how it has improved your HT. other than safety... Which we are finding out about everyday, how detectable do you think it is lender with your existing hair? How short is your current style?

Thanks!

[Hairthere]

northeast, I just posted some pics. My hair is medium length right now. The results are completely undetectable, imo. I saw my bro's results in person today for the first time since he had it done and I am blown away.

Do you know what type of ink she is actually using?

I'm not entirely sure she designed this system. I'm getting the impression these guys may be responsible and perhaps trained her? please correct me if i'm wrong..... I certainly want credit to go where it is due.
