Art of Scalp Pigmentation | Matthew Lulo

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.

Treating Black Hair Loss | Dr. Oesi Tutu

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. Interested in taking care of your hair loss?
