What is Alopecia?
Alopecia is a condition that leads to hair loss on the scalp, which could stem from genetic, immune, or medication-related factors. The condition can be diagnosed by a dermatologist. Alopecia areata, the most common type, typically results in bald spots on the scalp. This could cause you to feel insecure about how you look.
Treatment options are available, which is encouraging. Scalp Evolution is here to assist with SMP, providing the look of a buzzed or shaved hairstyle.
Symptoms of Alopecia
Possible 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 provides a modern treatment option for people with alopecia. SMP consists of using specialized pigments on the scalp to resemble hair follicles. For those with alopecia areata, this treatment effectively covers bald areas, providing the appearance of fuller hair through a buzzed or shaved style. This non-invasive procedure, SMP, requires minimal downtime and provides immediate results, enhancing your confidence and self-image.
Benefits of SMP
Some key benefits of SMP include:
- A procedure that is both non-surgical and minimally invasive.
- Results are visible right away, with no need for downtime.
- An appearance that imitates real hair follicles.
- Effective across all skin tones and hair shades.
- Improves self-esteem and boosts self-image.
What To Expect During Your Appointment in Stockport, UK
Your initial consultation with a Scalp Evolution SMP Specialist will include a detailed scalp assessment and a discussion about your hair loss history, symptoms, and goals. They will walk you through the SMP process, explain what to expect, and adapt it to meet your needs.
Your scalp will be cleaned and prepped by your SMP specialist before the procedure. Using expert techniques, they will create the illusion of natural hair follicles with pigments. The treatment generally takes a few hours, varying with the amount of hair loss and bald spots. There might be slight discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated by patients.
Post-procedure, mild scalp redness may occur, but it generally diminishes in a few days. To ensure optimal recovery and results, your specialist will offer thorough aftercare advice. Most patients get back to their normal routine right after the procedure, with full results visible after a few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SMP compare to other treatment options for alopecia?
With SMP, you get an immediate, non-surgical solution for alopecia. Unlike other treatments, such as medications or hair transplants, SMP has no downtime and gives a natural appearance that mimics hair follicles. It is an effective solution for both men and women facing different types of hair loss.
Is SMP effective for women with alopecia?
Yes, SMP works well for women with alopecia areata or other hair loss conditions. It helps achieve a fuller hair look (shaved/buzzed) while covering bald spots, boosting your confidence and self-image. The procedure is adjusted to match your natural hair color and skin tone.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP doesn’t stimulate hair regrowth, but it makes hair appear fuller by mimicking the look of natural hair follicles. This solution is ideal for enhancing thinning hair and provides fast, durable results without the need for surgery.
How long does the SMP procedure take?
The time required for the SMP procedure varies according to the extent of your hair loss and the area to be treated. The procedure generally lasts a few hours, and most patients need 2 to 3 sessions to reach the best results. A few weeks are left between each session to give time for healing and pigment adjustment.
Are there any side effects associated with SMP?
The side effects of SMP are rare, as it is a minimally invasive procedure. A few patients could have redness, mild swelling, or slight discomfort on the scalp immediately following the treatment. These effects are not permanent and typically fade within a few days. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions from our specialists to ensure proper healing and the best possible outcome.
