    Thumbs up Scalp Micropigmentation in arizona

    Has anyone here tried scalp micropigmentation? Where they put a whole bunch of tiny follicle looking points on your head to make it look like you have a full head of hair? I couldn't afford the hair translplant price I was quoted, so I looked around for something cheaper and came across this site called dermimatch. I got it done there for only $1,800. People tell me I look 10 years younger now, but like.. family members I tell, they tell me I'm crazy for getting it done. I dont know if it's socially acceptable yet. What are your thoughts on it? Noone has been able to tell so far, they just think I look better.

    If its done well, it can be okay. I would probably just accept it and shave if it came to that.

    Yeah, the guy that runs that place (Garrett Duel) does some pretty low quality work from what I've seen, yet he claims to have done it for 10 years. I'd really like to see how yours turned out. How long ago did you get yours and how has it held up over time?

    Is that you in the profile pic?? If so, it looks great. I would love to see it from a side angle or from the top!

    At a good practice it looks great. I've seen it first hand. It looks a million times better than a slick bald scalp by framing the face. Most opinions you will get are from people who are misinformed.

    Also, I just realized that RickJames profile pic is actually Adam Vinatieri from when the team shaved their heads in support of a teammate with cancer. That's shady, man. Why not have your profile be a pic of your results if you're proud of them?

    Sorry for the late response. I put a photo up of the work and I'm happy with the results. It took 3 sessions. The first was about 4 hours, then 3 hours, and the last one was about 2 hours. They gave me numbing stuff that made it not very painful. The results look really good though. So, yeah, I'm happy about it, about a year later. I updated my profile picture too.

    It might work out okay if done properly. If it came to that, I would probably simply accept it and shave. Thanks for sharing this. https://www.phoenix360photobooth.com/
