Treatment Plan & 3-Session Journey

Session 0: Hairline Mapping & Design

We mapped out an age-appropriate, soft natural hairline tailored to his facial structure and forehead muscle movement prior to pigment application.

Session 1: Building the Base Density

A lighter organic pigment tone was applied across the entire top and crown to establish a natural foundation and test skin pigment retention for this Norwood 5 shaved look transformation.

Session 2: Layering & Follicle Matching

Added darker micro-dots between the settled Session 1 dots to build realistic depth and match the natural follicle size on his sides and back.

Session 3: Finishing Details & Soft Feathering

Perfected the frontal hairline transition with feathered micro-dots and finalized crown coverage for a seamless, blended finish.

Clinical Notes for Norwood 5 Shaved Look

Notice the progressive transition across sessions 0 through 3. The frontal hairline uses soft, scattered micro-dot placement to avoid a harsh or artificial edge, while the crown density seamlessly merges with native side hair. Achieving a natural Norwood 5 shaved look relies on precise pigment depth and tone matching across every session.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Norwood 5 shaved look treatment take?

Typically, treatment is completed over 3 separate sessions spaced 7 to 14 days apart to allow the skin to heal and the pigment to settle properly.

Will the pigment fade over time?

SMP pigments are formulated specifically for the scalp to prevent color shifting. A lightweight touch-up is usually recommended every 2-3 years to maintain peak crispness.
