What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness, or androgenic alopecia, is a frequent cause of hair loss in men. It starts with hair thinning at the crown and a receding hairline, eventually resulting in bald patches or a horseshoe-shaped bald area around the head.
While genetics are central to male pattern baldness, age and hormones may also play a part.
Signs of Male Pattern Baldness
The following are signs of male pattern baldness:
- Crown thinning.
- Retreating hairline.
- Hair-free spots on the scalp.
- Gradual decrease in hair thickness.
- Scalp clearly visible.
- Thinning of hair density.
How Scalp Micropigmentation Can Help
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical, effective way to treat male pattern baldness. Specialized pigments are applied to the scalp to mimic natural hair follicles, creating a fuller, buzzed look.
This approach works at multiple stages of hair loss, helping to restore a natural look to areas affected by male pattern baldness.
Benefits of SMP for Male Pattern Baldness
SMP has several benefits, including:
- A procedure that involves minimal invasion and no surgery.
- Fast results and minimal time off required.
- Produces the appearance of thicker, more voluminous hair.
- Perfect for all types of skin and hair colors.
- Provides extended durability and requires little upkeep.
- Promotes self-confidence and enhances self-worth.
