What is Alopecia?
Alopecia is a condition that causes hair loss on the scalp, often due to genetics, immune disorders, or medications. Dermatologists are able to evaluate and diagnose this condition. The most common alopecia type, alopecia areata, often creates scalp bald spots that might lead to self-conscious feelings.
The uplifting part is that treatments are available. At Scalp Evolution, we offer SMP to replicate the natural look of a shaved or buzzed head.
Symptoms of Alopecia
Alopecia is commonly associated with symptoms like:
- Sudden hair loss
- Patchy bald spots
- Thinning hair
- Hair loss on the entire body
- Changes in nail texture
How SMP Can Help
Those dealing with alopecia can benefit from SMP, a revolutionary treatment. SMP applies custom pigments to the scalp, giving the look of real hair follicles. This procedure works well for alopecia areata by covering bald spots and giving the appearance of thicker hair with a shaved or buzzed style. SMP is a non-invasive treatment that involves minimal downtime and gives instant results, improving your self-image and self-confidence.

- No surgery required, with minimal intrusion.
- You’ll experience instant results without downtime.
- A natural look designed to resemble hair follicles.
- Works universally across all skin types and hair shades.
- Promotes better confidence and a positive self-view.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SMP compare to other treatment options for alopecia?
SMP is a rapid, non-invasive treatment for alopecia. SMP is free from downtime and gives a natural look that imitates hair follicles, unlike medications or hair transplant surgery. This treatment is an effective choice for both men and women experiencing various hair loss types.
Is SMP effective for women with alopecia?
SMP is a highly effective solution for women facing alopecia areata or different forms of hair loss. It helps create the appearance of fuller hair (shaved or buzzed) and covers bald patches, improving your self-image and confidence. The treatment is adjusted to fit your natural hair color and skin tone.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP doesn’t generate new hair growth but creates a fuller appearance by simulating natural hair follicles. This solution enhances the look of thinning hair, providing immediate, long-term results without surgery.
How long does the SMP procedure take?
The time for the SMP procedure is determined by how much hair loss you have and the size of the area being treated. Typically, the procedure lasts a few hours, and most patients require 2 to 3 sessions to achieve the desired outcome. Sessions are spaced a few weeks apart to allow time for recovery and for the pigment to properly settle.
Are there any side effects associated with SMP?
The minimally invasive nature of SMP means it has very few side effects. Redness, mild swelling, or slight discomfort on the scalp can happen in some patients immediately after treatment. These effects are not permanent and generally subside within a few days. You will be given complete aftercare instructions to ensure effective recovery and the best possible results.
