Really bad hairlines!

[Flippo]

How often do you shave your head? Will that not increase the speed of fading because the skin sheds each time you shave?

I usually shave once a day and it has no effect on fading due to the depth of the ink. However, ones immune system plays a significant roll on how fast they will fade. Mine is in overdrive so Matt has dropped about 20 shades from my first treatment.

I suppose to get the full effect of the smp shaving to the skin is ideal. Using a hair shaver to buzz cut it would defeat the purpose especially if one has a scar eat to ear correct?

I have a Panasonic rotary which gets pretty close but I just like the feel of a wet shave. I know a few people with SMP that use balding clippers and let it go a couple days. My hair also grows really fast so it's just easier to wet shave when I shower.

Hairlines are both an art and a science! And, they really can make or break the procedure. At SMG, all of our SMP hairlines are designed by our physicians. The attending doctor for your procedure (Dr. Ron Shapiro, Dr. Paul Shapiro, or Dr. David Josephitis) design your hairline and then I replicate their vision.

I think we really should't give patients too much freedom when it comes to the design of the hair line.

These SMP companies will often say: "But it's the patient who wanted that (phony) hair line!"

I agree with you. We work together and discuss design - but, we stick to our protocols. In the moment lots of people do think they want a lower hairline - but, as professionals we have to "know better".
