What is Alopecia?
Hair loss conditions such as alopecia can affect the scalp and are sometimes linked to genetics, the immune system, or medications. The condition can be identified and diagnosed by a dermatologist. The most widely occurring form is alopecia areata, which often produces bald spots on the scalp. It could affect your confidence in your physical appearance.
The positive aspect is that treatment can be pursued. Scalp Evolution’s team offers SMP to give you the natural appearance of a buzzed or shaved head.
Symptoms of Alopecia
Symptoms linked to alopecia may include:
- Sudden hair loss
- Patchy bald spots
- Thinning hair
- Hair loss on the entire body
- Changes in nail texture
How SMP Can Help
For those suffering from alopecia, SMP is a pioneering treatment choice. SMP is performed by applying specialized pigments to the scalp to simulate hair follicles. This procedure is particularly helpful for alopecia areata, as it can cover bald spots and deliver a fuller hair look with a shaved or buzzed style. SMP is a non-invasive option that requires little downtime and produces immediate results, improving your self-esteem and confidence.
Benefits of SMP
SMP has several advantages, such as:
- A non-surgical, minimally intrusive option.
- Experience immediate results with no recovery period.
- A true-to-life appearance that resembles hair follicles.
- Suitable for any skin type and hair shade.
- Improves personal confidence and self-view.

In the first session, the Scalp Evolution SMP Specialist will evaluate your scalp and talk about your hair loss history, symptoms, and goals. The specialist will describe the process, explain expected outcomes, and tailor the treatment plan to you.
Before starting the procedure, your SMP specialist will clean and ready your scalp. Using advanced methods, they will apply pigments to emulate the look of real hair follicles. Based on the extent of hair loss, the procedure usually lasts several hours. You might feel some minor discomfort, but it is generally tolerable.
Redness may occur on your scalp following the treatment, but it generally resolves in a short time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SMP compare to other treatment options for alopecia?
SMP is a non-invasive procedure that provides quick results for alopecia. SMP delivers a natural look like hair follicles without any recovery time, unlike other treatments such as medications or hair transplants. This makes it a strong treatment option for both men and women facing various forms of hair loss.
Is SMP effective for women with alopecia?
SMP provides excellent results for women with alopecia areata or other types of hair loss. It can make your hair appear fuller (shaved/buzzed) while covering bald areas, helping improve your confidence and self-image. The treatment is specifically tailored to match your natural hair and skin tone.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
While SMP doesn’t grow new hair, it enhances the look of hair by mimicking natural follicles. Ideal for thinning hair, this treatment provides immediate, lasting results without requiring hair transplant surgery.
How long does the SMP procedure take?
The duration of the SMP treatment will vary depending on how much hair loss you have and how large the treatment area is. In general, the procedure takes several hours, and 2 to 3 sessions are required for optimal results. A few weeks are spaced between sessions to allow the scalp to heal and the pigment to settle properly.
Are there any side effects associated with SMP?
As a minimally invasive treatment, SMP has very few side effects. After the treatment, some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or slight discomfort on their scalp. These effects are not permanent and usually subside after a few days. Our team will provide you with clear aftercare steps to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome.
