What is Alopecia?
Alopecia causes scalp hair loss and might result from hereditary traits, immune issues, or medication side effects. A dermatologist has the expertise to diagnose you with the condition. Alopecia areata is the most commonly seen type and often leads to bald areas on the scalp, which might affect confidence.
Treatment is available, which is great news. Scalp Evolution offers Scalp Micropigmentation treatments to create the look of a shaved or cropped hairstyle.
Symptoms of Alopecia
Some common symptoms of alopecia are:
- Sudden hair loss
- Patchy bald spots
- Thinning hair
- Hair loss on the entire body
- Changes in nail texture
How SMP Can Help
SMP is an effective and revolutionary approach for treating alopecia. SMP applies specialized pigments to the scalp to create a natural-looking hair follicle effect. This treatment is especially useful for alopecia areata, as it covers bald patches and creates the appearance of thicker hair with a buzzed or shaved look. SMP offers a non-invasive solution with minimal recovery time and instant results, improving both your confidence and self-image.
Benefits of SMP
The benefits of SMP treatment are:
- A non-surgical approach with minimal invasiveness.
- Get instant results with no need for a break.
- A lifelike result that simulates hair follicles.
- Suitable for all skin types and any hair color.
- Fosters greater confidence and a stronger self-image.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SMP compare to other treatment options for alopecia?
SMP offers an effective, non-surgical treatment for alopecia with instant results. SMP has no downtime and offers a natural appearance that looks like hair follicles, unlike hair transplants or certain medications. This treatment is effective for both men and women experiencing all types of hair loss.
Is SMP effective for women with alopecia?
SMP works well for women experiencing alopecia areata or other forms of hair loss. It provides a fuller hair appearance (shaved/buzzed) and masks bald spots, boosting your confidence and self-esteem. The treatment is customized to work with your natural hair and skin color.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP doesn’t encourage hair regrowth, but it creates the illusion of more hair by resembling natural hair follicles. Perfect for thinning hair, this treatment offers immediate, durable results without needing a hair transplant.
How long does the SMP procedure take?
The time required for SMP treatment depends on the severity of hair loss and the size of the area to be treated. The treatment generally takes a few hours, with most patients requiring 2 to 3 sessions to achieve the best outcome. A few weeks between sessions help ensure the scalp heals properly and the pigment settles.
Are there any side effects associated with SMP?
The side effects of SMP are minimal due to its minimally invasive procedure. After the procedure, some patients might notice mild swelling, slight discomfort, or redness on the scalp. These effects are short-lived and typically disappear after a few days. Our experts will guide you through aftercare steps to promote healing and achieve the best possible results.
