What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Androgenic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, is a common form of hair loss in men. It usually begins with thinning hair on the crown and a receding hairline, eventually resulting in bald spots or a horseshoe pattern around the head.
The main cause of male pattern baldness is genetics, but age and hormones can also play a role.
Signs of Male Pattern Baldness
The signs of male pattern baldness typically involve:
- Hair loss on the top of the head.
- Thinning along the hairline.
- Hairless patches on the head.
- Slow and consistent hair thinning.
- Scalp noticeable through sparse hair.
- Hair density reduction.
How Scalp Micropigmentation Can Help
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical, efficient treatment for male pattern baldness. It applies pigments to the scalp to imitate natural hair follicles, creating a fuller look with a shaved or buzzed appearance.
This treatment is effective for various stages of hair loss and can restore a natural appearance to areas affected by male pattern baldness.
Benefits of SMP for Male Pattern Baldness
The benefits that SMP offers include:
- A procedure that requires no surgery and involves minimal intrusion.
- Quick results and short downtime.
- Enhances hair volume for a thicker, fuller look.
- Compatible with all skin tones and hair colors.
- Requires minimal maintenance for long-lasting results.
- Lifts self-esteem and boosts personal confidence.
What To Expect During Your Appointment
In your consultation at our Miramar, FL office, our experienced practitioners will assess your hair loss and discuss your personal goals. They will clearly explain the SMP procedure, including how pigments are applied and what results to expect. This technique uses tiny, layered dots in various shades to mimic the look of natural hair follicles.
On the day of your SMP procedure, local anesthesia will be applied to ensure you are comfortable. The procedure usually lasts a few hours, depending on the size of the area being treated. The procedure is usually comfortable for most patients, with only slight discomfort.
After the procedure, you might notice some redness and light swelling, which should subside within a few days. Detailed aftercare instructions will be given to ensure effective healing and optimal results.

What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP doesn’t create new hair but enhances the look of fullness by replicating natural hair follicles.
