the cost is £500 a session.

I'm with sceptic it looks very good dude, but I'm not sure I understand the pricing structure.I was under the impression you paid a set amount to get the job done with HIS....... and not a per session price....this could work out expensive for scar work as it could take quite a few sessions for some peoples scars......(although yours shouldn't as it looks great after just two)

Hi El Nino,
The Smp certainly helps to camouflage the scar and add density to your scalp.
How is it looking now especially in your scar tissue as this is a tricky area.
Cheers Bm.

You get quoted the number of sessions in your consultation (mine was 2-3), so I'd imagine if my scar was bigger then I would've been quoted more sessions.

As I'm sure you already know scars are very unpredictable with how they react to FUE grafts, SMP, revisions, lasers, etc.

And the only way to find out is to try it.

Hey Bm,

The ink in my scar had faded more after my update and I've had it touched up under the guarantee.

Danny has gone two shades darker this time and I will update with all the pics after the short term fading.

 

[Bigmac]

Sounds good, I'll look forward to seeing your pictures.
Cheers Bm.

Thanks for the clarification dude, i can't wait to see your new pictures. How did the crown hold out regarding the fading?

The crown has faded more too but it is still making a difference.

I will hit it again when I go for my next full session, although I want to hold out for as long as possible.

 

[bullitnut]

Ok mate cheers and I totally get the wanting to wait as long as poss.
I still think your SMP is good and look forward to seeing the next lot if pics down the road pal.

 

[El Nino]

The scar faded further and I had it touched up 6 weeks ago.

I am very happy with how it looks now and will be thrilled if it stays like this.

Touch up.

6 weeks.

 

[El Nino]

I forgot to add that Danny and I agreed to go darker with the touch up and he dropped it from shade 30 to 26.

Just in case anyone is interested.

 

[bullitnut]

I think that looks great dude....it's enabled you to have a trendy short cut and although its still visible the scar looks much more camouflaged. I can see why your thrilled, thanks for the update
How was the pain on this one on a scale of one to ten?

Cheers pal, I appreciate the comment.

I try and take pics which are fair and do the work justice but not over compensate. I find my bathroom is perfect with the natural light coming through the window.

I could post pics in darker conditions and the scar will not be visible at all and the on the other hand I could post pics with light reflecting off the scar and showing it up more. So I try to do somewhere in between.

With regards to the pain the touch up was a 1 out of 10 but it took less than an hour. So the same place wasn't being done for a long period of time.

I didn't find the pain too bad for the two main sessions either (no pain meds before, during or after). But I am not scared of needles and believe I have quite a high pain threshold for a man.

 

[bullitnut]

No problem buddy...it's good that your taking honest pictures. I wonder why the pain gets less each treatment*nl
Thanks for keeping us in the Loop dude

Hey WC,

The SMP is holding up very well thanks! It is 4 months now since the touch up and there has been no significant fading or colour change since.

 

[baldasabadger10]

El Niño have you any updated pictures showing the Smp at 4 months?

 

[Bigmac]

Good to hear all is going well.

 

[topccat29]

Do you feel the color matches or does it look off color or blueish?

This awesome news dude! out of curiosity, how often do you expect to need a touch up approx?
Thanks for the update

Any updates El Nino? I`m interested to see how long it lasts before another session is needed.
