Follicular Unit Extraction and Scalp Micropigmentation
Most men will suffer hair loss to some degree in their life. This is because of DHT a male hormone that negatively affects the hair follicles of the scalp; most aggressively at the temples, crown and top of the head. So men bear this change or maturation of male pattern baldness (MPB) well; but many experience the well documented ‘psychological effects’ which culminate in low self image, esteem and confidence.
It is no wonder that hair restoration through hair transplant surgery is one of the leading medical cosmetic concerns among men. Today’s follicular unit transplant (FUT) surgery is providing the undetectable and natural solution that patients’ seek.
Nevertheless, some people with advanced hair loss and limited donor hair for the surgery have fewer choices. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) surgery combined with scalp micropigmentation (SMP) offers and innovative approach for men with advanced male pattern baldness (MPB).
A combination of these less invasive procedures can provide excellent results under the skills of today’s leading hair transplant surgeons. A combined FUE and SMP procedure means:
FUE procedure
- Individual follicular units (FUs) will be transplanted for balanced and even coverage

A person with limited donor hair can be a prime candidate for this safe and less invasive hair transplant procedure.
Skilled Hair Transplant Doctors
Skilled hair restoration surgeons can take individual follicular units (FUs) and create the maximum balanced coverage over the scalp. They can then create further ‘look of density’ by simulating hair stubble with scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP). Los Angeles hair transplant centers are innovative leaders in hair restoration procedures.
SMP is a procedure where special surgical needles are used to inject dermal pigments into the scalp or other areas such as eyebrows into the skin. The color of pigment selected is close to that of the patient’s hair resulting in a cosmetic hair shadow. SMP is a safe and very non invasive procedure.
