Patient Case Study - Overview
This client had been dealing with his hair loss by wearing a high-end custom hair system. It was an expensive system, but it was extremely realistic and looked great. The problem wasn’t how it looked. The problem was everything that came with wearing it.
Over time, he grew tired of having a hair system attached to his scalp and constantly thinking about how it looked, whether it was secure, and when it would need to be serviced. For someone with an active lifestyle, that became increasingly frustrating.
Procedure Details
He enjoys action sports, water sports, swimming, working out, and spending time outdoors. He wanted the freedom to participate in those activities without thinking about his hair. That’s when he began considering Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP). For this client, the appeal of SMP wasn’t about trying to recreate longer hair. It was about simplifying his life.
He decided to remove the hair system, shave his head, and embrace the Shaved Look. At Ahead Ink, we designed a natural, age-appropriate hairline and used Scalp Micropigmentation to recreate the appearance of closely shaved hair follicles throughout the areas affected by hair loss.
