What is Alopecia?
Alopecia is a form of hair loss affecting the scalp, often associated with genetic predispositions, immune disorders, or medications. The condition can be confirmed through a dermatologist's diagnosis. The most typical form of alopecia, alopecia areata, is known to cause bald spots on the scalp. This could result in heightened awareness of how you look.
The bright side is that treatment is possible. Our specialists at Scalp Evolution use SMP to recreate the look of a buzzed or shaved head.
Symptoms of Alopecia
Symptoms that can occur with alopecia include:
- Sudden hair loss
- Patchy bald spots
- Thinning hair
- Hair loss on the entire body
- Changes in nail texture
How SMP Can Help
A new and effective treatment for alopecia, SMP, is now available. The treatment involves placing specialized pigments on the scalp to replicate the look of hair follicles. This technique is particularly effective for alopecia areata, as it helps conceal bald spots and gives the appearance of a fuller, buzzed hairstyle. The non-invasive SMP procedure has minimal recovery time and provides immediate results, enhancing your self-esteem and confidence.
Benefits of SMP
Benefits of SMP consist of:
- A treatment that requires no surgery and is minimally invasive.
- Results appear immediately, with no need for recovery.
- An authentic appearance that mirrors hair follicles.
- Applicable to all hair colors and skin tones.
- Enhances self-perception and confidence levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SMP compare to other treatment options for alopecia?
SMP offers a fast, non-invasive solution to treat alopecia. SMP does not require downtime and provides a natural look that mimics hair follicles, unlike medications or hair transplant surgery. This makes it a great solution for men and women dealing with various types of hair loss.
Is SMP effective for women with alopecia?
SMP is a highly effective option for women dealing with alopecia areata or other forms of hair loss. It gives the illusion of a fuller hair look (shaved or buzzed) and hides bald patches, boosting your self-confidence and self-image. The treatment is customized to align with your natural hair and skin tone.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP doesn’t cause new hair growth, but it creates the appearance of fuller hair by copying the look of natural hair follicles. For thinning hair, this treatment offers fast and lasting results without the need for a hair transplant surgery.
How long does the SMP procedure take?
The length of the SMP session depends on how much hair loss you have and the size of the area being treated. Generally, the procedure takes a few hours, and most patients will need 2 to 3 sessions for optimal results. Sessions are spaced a few weeks apart to ensure the scalp heals and the pigment settles correctly.
Are there any side effects associated with SMP?
The minimally invasive nature of SMP results in very few side effects. Some patients may have redness, mild swelling, or a bit of discomfort on their scalp after the treatment. These effects are temporary and usually fade away within a few days. Our specialists will offer you complete aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and excellent results.
