What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Androgenic alopecia, widely known as male pattern baldness, is a common issue causing hair loss among men. Thinning on the crown and a receding hairline are typical early signs, eventually forming bald spots or a horseshoe outline around the head.
The genetic component is strong in male pattern baldness, but age and hormones also play roles.
Signs of Male Pattern Baldness
The key signs of male pattern baldness can consist of:
- Thinning around the crown
- Receding hairline
- Bald spots on the scalp
- Gradual hair thinning
- More visible scalp
- Thinning of hair density
How Scalp Micropigmentation Can Help
Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive yet highly effective solution for male hair loss. In SMP, pigments are applied to the scalp to simulate the look of natural hair follicles, resulting in a fuller, buzzed appearance.
This technique is adaptable to different levels of hair thinning, restoring a natural appearance in affected areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Scalp Micropigmentation work?
The SMP technique involves using pigments to create the illusion of hair follicles. The process produces the look of denser hair with a buzzed finish and is versatile for many hair loss levels.
Is SMP a permanent solution?
SMP delivers a lasting effect, with the appearance of fuller hair staying for years. Touch-up sessions may be needed occasionally to preserve your desired appearance.
What is the recovery process like after SMP?
You may experience slight redness and swelling after SMP, but they typically resolve in a few days. We will provide you with full aftercare details to guarantee optimal healing and results.
Can SMP restore density in thinning areas?
Yes, SMP is an effective solution for restoring hair density in thinning areas, providing a natural buzzed effect.
How does SMP compare to hair transplant surgery?
SMP is a non-surgical solution to hair restoration, unlike a hair transplant. Hair transplants are invasive, moving hair follicles from one spot to another, while SMP uses pigments to replicate natural hair follicles. This method gives quick results without the extended recovery time needed for hair transplants.
Can SMP be combined with other hair restoration procedures?
Yes, it can be paired with other hair restoration approaches to improve overall results. Following a hair transplant, SMP can help increase the appearance of density and cover any bare spots left. This synergy can help create a more realistic and complete appearance.
Is SMP effective for women with hair loss?
Yes, SMP can address hair loss in men and women, including female pattern baldness. The procedure creates a denser hair effect with a buzzed style, helping restore self-assurance in those with bald spots. The treatment works effectively with other restoration options, enhancing the look of hair follicles.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
The procedure doesn’t stimulate hair regrowth but provides a fuller look by mimicking natural follicles. Using pigments, the treatment effectively replicates hair for both immediate and lasting results. While it doesn’t use transplanted hair, SMP helps conceal the visual effects of hair loss.
