MAXIM Hair Restoration - Long Island

Depending on the amount of work needed to be done, a full SMP procedure usually consists of 2 to 3 sessions, each of which lasting no more than two hours.

Although relatively painless, a topical numbing agent is applied on the scalp to ease the patient s discomfort during the SMP procedure.

SMP has several advantages over hair transplant procedures including: Non-invasive. Unlike hair transplant procedures such as FUE and FUT, SMP is non-invasive and is similar to getting a tattoo. That is why SMP is ideal for those who shy away from hair transplant surgery or those who can t afford time off work for a post-op recovery period. No Medication. Aside from a topical numbing agent used during the session, no other medication is required for this non-invasive procedure. Proven Effective. Why read about it? Take a look for yourself.

SMP is a non-invasive procedure that involves depositing a combination of natural medical-grade pigments that are deposited into the scalp using microneedles creating the appearance of hair follicles. Through SMP, patients suffering from hair loss can achieve a buzz-cut look. They can also have their receding hairlines restored painlessly and almost instantly. Patients will need to schedule an initial appointment to discuss with our experts what they want to achieve through the SMP procedure. During this initial consultation, MAXIM Hair Restoration specialists will manage the client s expectations and explain the risks and benefits associated with SMP.

You can stay awake during the entire procedure and can engage in activities like reading, listening to music, and others, while our SMP specialist works on your head.

A full SMP procedure usually consists of several sessions spread over a period of 4 to 6 weeks. Each session lasts one to two hours.

SMP stands for scalp micropigmentation. Also called scalp tattoo or hair tattoo, scalp micropigmentation is an aesthetic procedure used to conceal hair loss. However, because of its versatility, SMP is also used for non-cosmetic purposes such as the concealment of scars from accidents or previous hair transplants. Traditionally, scars were revised surgically through a procedure also known as scar revision or scar repair.

During the session, patients remain awake and can engage in relaxing activities like reading a book, listening to music, or even talking to our clinicians and staff.

Topical anesthesia is used for patients undergoing FUT hair transplants.

FUT is the ideal hair transplant procedure for patients who are suffering from severe hair loss and need a large number of grafts to achieve the desired result. Not only can the procedure be done more quickly it can also deliver a much higher yield and density as our doctors can extract more grafts during a single session. At MAXIM Hair Restoration, we offer MEGA hair transplant sessions where 3,000 to 4,000 hair grafts can be transplanted during a single session! This type of session creates a thick and fuller finished result. Not only that, FUT hair transplant procedure is also more affordable compared to other procedures.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), also called the strip method, involves harvesting a strip of hair and skin tissue from the donor area. This is usually located at the back of the head and is stitched up and concealed with the remnant hair after the procedure. The strip of hair and tissue is then meticulously dissected in individual hair grafts. Each hair graft consists of one to three hair follicles (micro grafts) or three to five hair follicles (mini grafts). These are then transplanted to the area of the scalp that is suffering from hair loss.

Due to its complex and surgical nature, FUT is performed by highly trained hair transplant surgeons. At MAXIM Hair Restoration, patients get a free consultation with our top-caliber doctors to discuss the transplantation procedure and manage expectations. Know that with MAXIM, you re safe.

FUE hair transplant, because of its increased complexity, usually takes 6 to 8 hours to perform in a clinical setting. To ensure the quality of the services we provide, MAXIM Hair Restoration limits hair transplant procedures to one to two per location.

Even though FUE is practically painless, a local anesthetic is administered before the procedure.

If you can t afford to have your busy schedule, get disrupted by long recovery periods, FUE is the perfect hair transplant procedure for you.
