What is Alopecia?
Alopecia refers to hair loss on the scalp and is commonly caused by genetic factors, immune disorders, or specific drugs. Diagnosis of the condition is possible through a dermatologist. The most commonly diagnosed form of alopecia, alopecia areata, typically leads to scalp baldness, which may make you self-conscious.
It’s a relief to know that treatment options are offered. Scalp Evolution provides expert Scalp Micropigmentation to give you the realistic appearance of a shaved head.
Symptoms of Alopecia
The effects of alopecia may include 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 those with alopecia, SMP is a modern, cutting-edge treatment option. SMP involves using specific pigments on the scalp to create the effect of hair follicles. This method is particularly effective for alopecia areata, as it can cover bald spots and create the appearance of a fuller, buzzed hairstyle. SMP is a non-invasive treatment with minimal recovery time and immediate outcomes, designed to enhance your confidence and self-image.
Benefits of SMP
SMP provides the following benefits:
- A treatment that avoids surgery and is minimally invasive.
- Immediate benefits with no downtime required.
- A genuine effect that mimics the structure of hair follicles.
- Effective for a variety of skin tones and hair colors.
- Strengthens self-belief and improves self-image.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SMP compare to other treatment options for alopecia?
SMP is a non-invasive procedure that provides an immediate solution for alopecia. SMP provides a natural, hair follicle-like appearance without the need for downtime, unlike medications or hair transplants. This treatment is suitable for both men and women experiencing various hair loss problems.
Is SMP effective for women with alopecia?
SMP is an effective approach for women dealing with alopecia areata or various forms of hair loss. It gives the look of fuller hair (shaved or buzzed) and conceals bald spots, helping to boost your self-confidence and self-image. The treatment is customized to align with your unique hair and skin tone.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
While SMP doesn’t promote new hair growth, it mimics natural hair follicles to create the illusion of thicker hair. Ideal for thinning hair, this treatment provides quick, long-lasting results without the need for surgery.
How long does the SMP procedure take?
The time required for SMP depends on the amount of hair loss and the size of the area to be treated. In general, the procedure takes several hours, and 2 to 3 sessions are often needed for the best results. Each session is spaced out by a few weeks to allow the scalp to heal and the pigment to settle effectively.
Are there any side effects associated with SMP?
SMP is a minimally invasive procedure with very few side effects. Some patients might notice mild swelling, redness, or slight discomfort on their scalp immediately after the procedure. These effects are short-term and usually disappear after a few days. Our experts will offer you thorough aftercare instructions to ensure smooth recovery and optimal results.
