    TLDR FUE and SMP together can effectively treat hair loss, needing fewer procedures.
    The article discusses the combination of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) for the cosmetic treatment of hair loss. SMP involves tattooing the scalp to create the appearance of hair, while FUE involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area. The authors suggest that combining these techniques can reduce the number of hair restoration procedures a patient might need to achieve a desired result. The article also highlights the potential risks of overharvesting in FUE procedures and the need for strategic planning to minimize complications and emotional stress on patients.
