Anyone reading this, ask me any questions you have about scalp micropigmentation. Like I said, SMP has changed my life. I went from balding, depressed, and working at JPMC to quitting corporate America and becoming an SMP artist full-time with my business, Delaware Scalp Micropigmentation...

Hi moderator, would it be possible to update the title of this thread to “How Scalp Micropigmentation Changed My Life”? I realized after posting that the original title doesn’t really reflect what the post is about. I’m just sharing my personal experience with hair loss and SMP. I’d really...

I would go talk to Katie from KT.SMP, see what she can do for you.

You are still young, keep trying

I’m 38 now, but I first started noticing my hair thinning when I was around 23. Like a lot of guys on this forum, I went down the rabbit hole trying just about everything to stop it. I tried hair fibers, Minoxidil, Finasteride, laser therapy (LLLT), different supplements, special shampoos...

You’re not alone—plenty of people report scalp itch after using DHT blockers, not before. It’s...

Hey man, thanks for sharing the pic—definitely looks like early crown thinning more than just a cowlick, especially with the way light is reflecting off the scalp. You’ve been consistent with finasteride and added oral min, which is solid. Dutasteride could be a next step if you feel like progress has...

Hey there, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. Hair loss at 23 can feel overwhelming, especially when it’s sudden and doctors can’t give you a clear answer. Hashimoto’s and elevated antibodies can sometimes cause hair shedding (even if thyroid levels look “normal”), especially during...

Amazing Progress! happy for you!

if that's your only option, and you want to see more hair follicles, yes. in the grand scheme $200 isn't much money for you to feel more confident.

with the advancements in AI, I think its plausible.

I've seen hundreds of hair transplants, and using beard hair for the crown can still be effective. You're right that the texture is different—beard hair is typically thicker—but it still does a great job camouflaging thinning areas. When blended properly with the existing hair, most people won’t...
