What is Alopecia?
Scalp-affecting hair loss conditions, like alopecia, are often connected to genetic factors, immune issues, or medications. You can rely on a dermatologist to diagnose the condition. The most typical form of alopecia, alopecia areata, generally results in scalp bald spots that can cause self-consciousness.
Happily, there are treatments to address the issue. At Scalp Evolution, we’re here to help you achieve the buzzed or shaved head look through SMP.
Symptoms of Alopecia
Alopecia can manifest through symptoms such as:
- Sudden hair loss
- Patchy bald spots
- Thinning hair
- Hair loss on the entire body
- Changes in nail texture
How SMP Can Help
For alopecia sufferers, SMP is a highly effective treatment option. The procedure uses specialized pigments on the scalp, designed to replicate the look of hair follicles. For those with alopecia areata, this procedure covers bald spots and provides the effect of fuller hair with a buzzed appearance. This non-invasive treatment, SMP, provides instant results with minimal downtime, enhancing your self-image and boosting your confidence.
Benefits of SMP
SMP offers a variety of benefits, such as:
- A procedure that is minimally invasive and doesn't require surgery.
- Results are immediate, and there’s no downtime.
- A natural appearance that mirrors the look of hair follicles.
- Works effectively with any hair color and skin tone.
- Improves how you see yourself while boosting confidence.

It can make your hair appear fuller (shaved/buzzed) and cover bald areas, enhancing your self-image and boosting confidence. The procedure is tailored to blend with your natural hair and skin tones.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP doesn’t lead to new hair growth, but it gives the appearance of fuller hair by copying the look of natural follicles. This treatment is effective for enhancing thinning hair, offering immediate and lasting results without the need for a hair transplant procedure.
How long does the SMP procedure take?
The SMP procedure can take different amounts of time depending on the size of the treatment area and the extent of your hair loss. On average, the procedure takes several hours, and 2 to 3 sessions are typically needed for the best results. Sessions are spaced a few weeks apart to allow for recovery and to ensure the pigment settles effectively.
Are there any side effects associated with SMP?
SMP is minimally invasive, resulting in very few side effects. Some people may experience mild swelling, slight discomfort, or redness on their scalp immediately after the procedure. The effects tend to subside within a few days and are not permanent. Our specialists will give you clear aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and excellent results.
