Shedding after weight loss? Where SMP fits and where it doesn't

More people are asking me about hair shedding than ever, a lot of it after losing weight fast, including on the new weight loss shots. Here's how I look at it.

See a doctor first

If your hair is falling out fast right now, talk to your doctor before anything else. Shedding can have a lot of causes, and some of it grows back on its own.

SMP doesn't stop shedding

SMP changes how your scalp looks. It doesn't grow hair and it doesn't stop hair from falling out. If we do it while you're still shedding a lot, your coverage can change under it.

When SMP makes sense

Once things are stable and the thinning is still there, SMP can add density so the scalp stops showing through. That's the same density work I do for men and women every week.

Not sure where you're at?

DM me photos on Instagram at @delaware_smp, or book a free consult. I'll tell you straight if it's time or if you should wait.
