    Default SMP vs FUE for scar repair?

    I'd like to ask the brothers out there with experience on this forum for advice on the best scar reduction techniques for my situation.

    I am on a multi year journey to reduce / hopefully eliminate my hair transplant strip scar in order to shave my head down to a 1 or 0. I've had 3 successful FUE into scar procedures with Dr. Robert Jones, that has greatly reduced my scar, the last of these being a few years ago - see the photo albums in my profile. While the improvement has been vast, the scar is still quite visible at a 1 or 0 shaver setting.

    It sees that I got diminishing results with the subsequent FUE into scar sessions. My best guess at noticeable improvement to the scar 6 months after each session was:
    1st op: 50% improvement
    2d op: 20 % additional improvement
    3rd op: 5% additional improvement.

    I'm not sure if my case of diminishing returns is to be expected, or not.

    I would like to have further work done, and am not sure whether to go or a fourth FUE into scar session, or whether to try scalp micro pigmentation (SMP).

    Anyone have any thoughts on which way to go first?
