What is Alopecia?
Conditions causing hair loss on the scalp, such as alopecia, may arise from genetic, immune, or medication-related factors. The condition can be determined by a dermatologist’s evaluation. The most common type, alopecia areata, usually causes bald scalp spots that might make you more self-aware.
You’ll be relieved to know that treatment is possible. We at Scalp Evolution provide SMP services, giving the realistic look of a buzzed or shaved head.
Symptoms of Alopecia
The primary symptoms of alopecia can include:
- Sudden hair loss
- Patchy bald spots
- Thinning hair
- Hair loss on the entire body
- Changes in nail texture
How SMP Can Help
SMP is a forward-thinking treatment designed to help those with alopecia. SMP involves the use of custom pigments to simulate hair follicles on the scalp. This method is effective for alopecia areata, as it conceals bald patches and gives the look of fuller hair through a shaved or buzzed style. SMP is a non-invasive treatment with little recovery time and immediate outcomes, designed to improve your self-image and confidence.
Benefits of SMP
Some of the benefits of SMP are:
- Non-surgical and minimally affecting the body.
- Achieve immediate results with no downtime needed.
- A true-to-life effect that mimics hair follicles.
- Ideal for every combination of hair color and skin type.
- Supports a better self-image and increased confidence.
What To Expect During Your Appointment in Huddersfield, UK
During the first consultation, the Scalp Evolution SMP Specialist will analyze your scalp and talk about your hair loss history, symptoms, and treatment plans. They will provide an overview of the SMP process, explain the expected results, and ensure it fits your needs.
Your scalp will be cleaned and prepared for the procedure by your specialist on the day of treatment. They will replicate the look of natural hair follicles using skilled pigmentation methods. This treatment generally takes several hours, based on the level of baldness and hair loss. You could experience slight discomfort, but it’s manageable for the majority of patients.
Post-treatment, your scalp might show some redness, but it typically diminishes within a few days. Your specialist will provide precise aftercare guidelines to ensure successful healing and optimal results. Most individuals resume their normal activities immediately, with the full effects becoming visible in a few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SMP compare to other treatment options for alopecia?
SMP provides an immediate, non-invasive solution for hair loss conditions like alopecia. SMP delivers a natural, hair follicle-like appearance with no downtime, unlike treatments like medications or hair transplants. This makes it a practical treatment for men and women affected by various forms of hair loss.
Is SMP effective for women with alopecia?
SMP is highly effective for women dealing with alopecia areata or other hair loss problems. It creates the illusion of thicker hair (shaved or buzzed) while covering bald spots, raising your self-confidence and self-esteem. The treatment is designed to suit your hair and skin tone naturally.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP doesn’t stimulate hair growth but makes the hair appear thicker by imitating natural hair follicles. Ideal for thinning hair, this treatment provides immediate, long-lasting effects without requiring a surgical hair transplant.
How long does the SMP procedure take?
The length of your SMP procedure will vary based on your hair loss level and the size of the area being treated. The procedure usually takes a few hours, and most patients need 2 to 3 sessions for optimal outcomes. Each session takes place a few weeks apart to give the scalp time to heal and for the pigment to adjust.
Are there any side effects associated with SMP?
Thanks to its minimally invasive nature, SMP has very few side effects. Following the treatment, some patients may notice slight discomfort, redness, or mild swelling on their scalp. These effects are temporary and tend to go away within a few days. You will receive thorough aftercare instructions from our team to ensure smooth healing and the best results.
