What is Alopecia?
Hair loss conditions like alopecia, which affect the scalp, can result from genetic, immune system, or medication-related causes. You can consult a dermatologist to confirm a diagnosis of the condition. Alopecia areata, the most widespread variant, frequently results in noticeable bald spots on the scalp, affecting your self-image.
Good news—there are solutions through treatment. Our team at Scalp Evolution is dedicated to helping you achieve a buzzed or shaved head look with SMP.
Symptoms of Alopecia
Symptoms that might accompany 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 advanced treatment that provides a solution for alopecia sufferers. This procedure uses specialized pigments on the scalp to form the appearance of hair follicles. This treatment is especially effective for alopecia areata, as it hides bald patches and gives the look of fuller hair with a buzzed or shaved hairstyle. This non-invasive procedure, SMP, has minimal downtime and produces immediate results, enhancing your self-image and boosting confidence.
Benefits of SMP
The benefits of SMP involve:
- A non-surgical, minimally invasive option.
- Results are immediate, with no downtime to worry about.
- A lifelike appearance that recreates hair follicles.
- Suitable for diverse skin types and hair colors.
- Enhances your self-image and builds personal confidence.
What To Expect During Your Appointment in Sheffield, UK
During the initial visit, your Scalp Evolution SMP Specialist will evaluate your scalp and review your hair loss history, symptoms, and treatment expectations. They will explain how the SMP process works, describe what to expect, and adapt the treatment to your needs.
On the day of your session, the specialist will ensure your scalp is cleaned and properly prepared. They will use advanced pigmentation skills to create the effect of natural hair follicles. Several hours are typically needed for the process, depending on the severity of hair loss. Some minor discomfort might be felt, though it is tolerable for most patients.
Redness on the scalp is common after the procedure and usually subsides within a few days. Detailed post-treatment care instructions will be provided by your specialist to ensure proper healing and results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SMP compare to other treatment options for alopecia?
SMP offers an instant, non-surgical option for those experiencing alopecia. Unlike hair transplants or medications, SMP has no recovery time and offers a natural appearance resembling real hair follicles. This makes it an effective approach for both men and women dealing with hair loss in different forms.
Is SMP effective for women with alopecia?
Yes, SMP is an ideal treatment for women suffering from alopecia areata or other types of hair loss. It mimics the look of fuller hair (shaved/buzzed) and hides bald spots, boosting your self-confidence and self-esteem. The procedure is tailored specifically to your natural hair and skin tone.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP doesn’t encourage hair regrowth but creates the illusion of fuller hair by replicating the appearance of natural hair follicles. This treatment is excellent for improving thinning hair, giving you immediate and lasting results without needing a hair transplant.
How long does the SMP procedure take?
The length of the SMP procedure depends on how extensive your hair loss is and how large the treatment area is. The treatment generally takes several hours, and most patients need 2 to 3 sessions to get the best results. A few weeks are left between sessions to allow healing and for the pigment to settle properly.
Are there any side effects associated with SMP?
SMP, being minimally invasive, results in minimal side effects. After the procedure, some patients might experience mild discomfort, slight swelling, or redness on the scalp. The effects are temporary and typically ease within a few days. Our specialists will give you detailed aftercare advice to support your healing and achieve the best results.
