What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness, referred to as androgenic alopecia, is a typical form of hair loss seen in men. It often starts as hair thinning on the crown and receding hairline, which can progress to bald areas or a horseshoe pattern along the sides.
While male pattern baldness is mostly genetic, age and hormonal factors can also contribute.
Signs of Male Pattern Baldness
Symptoms commonly seen in male pattern baldness are:
- Thinning at the top of the head
- Receding hairline
- Bald patches on the scalp
- Steady hair thinning
- Scalp exposure
- Decreased hair thickness
How Scalp Micropigmentation Can Help
SMP is a non-surgical, effective method for treating male pattern baldness. SMP uses targeted pigments to mimic hair follicles on the scalp, creating the visual effect of thicker, buzzed hair.
It suits various stages of hair loss and helps achieve a natural look in regions affected by male pattern baldness.
Benefits of SMP for Male Pattern Baldness
SMP comes with several advantages, such as:
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive approach
- Immediate results with little recovery
- Achieves the look of fuller, thicker hair
- Compatible with all skin tones and hair shades
- Long-lasting with low maintenance
- Promotes self-confidence and enhances self-esteem
What To Expect During Your Appointment
Our skilled practitioners will assess your hair loss and review your goals during a private consultation in our Bolton, UK office. They will clarify the SMP technique, explaining how pigments are used and what results can be expected. The procedure applies small dots in various hues to recreate the look of natural hair follicles.
For a more comfortable experience, local anesthesia may be applied on your procedure day. The SMP procedure often takes a few hours, depending on the extent of coverage needed. Patients usually experience very little discomfort during the session.
After your procedure, you could experience minor redness and swelling, which usually goes away in a few days. To ensure the best results, you will receive detailed instructions for aftercare. Most individuals observe a quick improvement in hair fullness, with full results developing over several weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Scalp Micropigmentation work?
This method uses pigments to replicate the look of hair follicles on the scalp. This treatment creates a fuller hair illusion with a close-cropped look, effective for different hair loss phases.
Is SMP a permanent solution?
The treatment offers long-term results, sustaining the look of full hair for years. Maintaining the desired look might require periodic touch-up sessions.
What is the recovery process like after SMP?
After the procedure, mild redness and swelling may appear, but these effects generally last only a few days. Proper aftercare instructions will be given to support healing and ensure the best possible outcome.
Can SMP restore density in thinning areas?
SMP can effectively improve hair density in thinning areas, offering a more natural, shaved appearance.
How does SMP compare to hair transplant surgery?
SMP provides a non-surgical route to restore hair, replacing the need for a hair transplant. SMP is non-invasive and uses pigments to imitate hair follicles, whereas hair transplants involve moving follicles from a donor area. The approach offers fast results, minimal downtime, and eliminates transplant recovery.
Can SMP be combined with other hair restoration procedures?
SMP can be performed alongside other hair restoration techniques for enhanced outcomes. SMP can be used post-surgery to create the illusion of more density and hide remaining bald areas. This approach ensures a more comprehensive and natural outcome.
Is SMP effective for women with hair loss?
SMP benefits both men and women with hair thinning, including those affected by female pattern hair loss. It enhances the appearance of hair density with a close-cropped look, helping boost confidence for those with hair thinning. SMP complements other hair therapies and boosts the visibility of natural hair follicles.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP won’t grow new hair but creates the illusion of density by replicating hair follicles. This procedure uses pigments to mimic the look of hair, providing instant and long-term results. SMP addresses hair loss visually, despite not involving any hair transplantation.
