What is Alopecia?
Hair loss on the scalp, known as alopecia, could be due to genetics, immune system dysfunction, or specific medications. Consulting a dermatologist can help diagnose the condition. The most familiar form of alopecia is alopecia areata, which often leads to bald scalp areas. You could become more focused on your appearance as a result.
The encouraging news is that treatment options are out there. Our team at Scalp Evolution uses SMP to replicate the appearance of a freshly buzzed or shaved head.
Symptoms of Alopecia
The condition of alopecia may result in symptoms like:
- Sudden hair loss
- Patchy bald spots
- Thinning hair
- Hair loss on the entire body
- Changes in nail texture
How SMP Can Help
This innovative treatment, SMP, provides hope for individuals with alopecia. In SMP, pigments are carefully applied to the scalp to give the effect of hair follicles. This procedure works well for alopecia areata by concealing bald areas and creating the look of fuller hair with a shaved or buzzed style. The SMP procedure is non-invasive, requires minimal downtime, and delivers immediate results, enhancing your self-esteem and confidence.
Benefits of SMP
SMP brings multiple benefits, including:
- Non-invasive with very little disruption to the skin.
- No downtime necessary for immediate results.
- An appearance that closely mimics the structure of hair follicles.
- Designed to be effective for all hair shades and skin types.
- Encourages higher self-confidence and a positive self-image.

At your first appointment, a Scalp Evolution SMP Specialist will assess your scalp and review your hair loss background, symptoms, and treatment aspirations. You’ll receive a thorough explanation of the SMP process, including what to expect and how it will be customized for you.

This procedure often takes a few hours, depending on how extensive the hair loss is. A small amount of discomfort may be felt, but it is manageable for most patients.
Following the treatment, you may observe some redness on your scalp, which typically subsides soon.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SMP compare to other treatment options for alopecia?
SMP provides a fast, non-surgical approach to treating alopecia. SMP provides a natural, follicle-like appearance and has no downtime, unlike medications or hair transplant surgeries. This treatment is suitable for both men and women experiencing different hair loss conditions.
Is SMP effective for women with alopecia?
SMP is highly effective for women suffering from alopecia areata or other types of hair loss. It gives the appearance of more hair (shaved/buzzed) and conceals bald spots, boosting both your confidence and self-esteem. The treatment is personalized to fit your natural hair and skin tone.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP doesn’t promote new hair growth, but it creates the effect of fuller hair by replicating natural hair follicles. This treatment is designed to enhance the appearance of thinning hair with fast and lasting results, without the need for hair transplant surgery.
How long does the SMP procedure take?
The time for the SMP procedure varies depending on the level of hair loss and the area being treated. Usually, the procedure takes a few hours, and most patients require 2 to 3 sessions to achieve the desired results. There is a break of a few weeks between sessions to ensure proper healing and for the pigment to settle.
Are there any side effects associated with SMP?
SMP has a low risk of side effects, as it is minimally invasive. Following the treatment, some patients might have redness, slight swelling, or mild discomfort on their scalp. These effects tend to go away after a few days and are not long-lasting. Our specialists will supply you with full aftercare instructions to ensure effective healing and the best possible results.
