Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is one of the most misunderstood tools in hair restoration. I sat down with SMP expert Matthew Lulo to break down who is truly a good candidate, why skin health matters so much, and when conditions like psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis may be red flags if not properly evaluated.

We cover where SMP fits into the overall hair loss treatment landscape including Norwood 5–7 hair loss, post-transplant density enhancement, female thinning, and even beard and eyebrow SMP. We also discuss how skin type affects pigment retention, why darker skin tones often hold SMP longer, and why beard SMP typically requires more frequent touch-ups.

This is essential listening for patients considering SMP, transplant patients looking to enhance density, and providers who want to understand the medical and technical standards needed for safe, natural, long-lasting results.

In this episode, I sit down with my colleague and close friend Dr. Oesi Tutu to discuss why hair loss in Black men and women often presents differently in patients with Afro-textured hair, with a focus on inflammatory and scarring conditions that are frequently underdiagnosed.

We cover conditions like CCCA, lichen planopilaris, frontal fibrosing alopecia, and traction alopecia, why proper medical evaluation is critical before considering hair transplantation, and the unique challenges of treating and transplanting Afro-textured hair. This conversation is meant to give Black patients clear, realistic guidance rooted in accurate diagnosis and long-term planning rather than assumptions.

Most guys don’t realize that one wrong hair transplant can permanently destroy their donor and your surgeon choice is everything. In this episode, I sit down with legendary patient advocate Spencer Kobren (The Bald Truth, American Hair Loss Association) to expose the red flags, the marketing tricks, and the “walking wounded” this industry creates. We break down how to tell a true hair surgeon from a content creator with a scalpel, why meds usually come before surgery, and the exact questions you should ask before you let anyone touch your grafts. If you’re thinking about Turkey, TikTok clinics, or your first transplant in your 20s, watch this before you book.
