What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness, called androgenic alopecia, is a widespread hair loss issue seen in men. The condition often begins with thinning at the top and receding hairline, eventually forming a horseshoe-shaped pattern around the sides and back.
Male pattern baldness is often inherited, though age and hormones can also have an impact.
Signs of Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness often begins with symptoms like:
- Thinning hair on the crown
- Hairline receding
- Bald areas on the scalp
- Slow reduction of hair
- Scalp becoming visible
- Decreased hair density
How Scalp Micropigmentation Can Help
Scalp Micropigmentation is an efficient, non-surgical solution to male pattern hair loss. In SMP, pigments are carefully applied to the scalp to resemble natural hair follicles, creating the illusion of a denser, buzzed hairstyle.
It is ideal for various hair loss stages and aids in restoring a natural appearance in thinning areas.

- Non-invasive, non-surgical approach

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Scalp Micropigmentation work?
The process uses specialized pigments to create a realistic look of hair follicles on the scalp. It creates a thicker hair illusion with a buzzed style, effective for several stages of hair loss.
Is SMP a permanent solution?
SMP ensures a long-lasting impact, keeping the hair looking fuller for years. You may need occasional touch-ups to ensure the look remains as desired.

After treatment, some mild redness and swelling may occur, but they typically subside in a few days. You’ll be given full aftercare guidelines to ensure proper healing and achieve the best outcome.
Can SMP restore density in thinning areas?
Yes, SMP is effective in restoring density to thinning hair, providing a natural, buzzed appearance.
How does SMP compare to hair transplant surgery?
SMP is a non-surgical treatment that provides similar results to a hair transplant. Hair transplant surgeries involve relocating hair follicles, but SMP uses pigments to replicate the look of hair follicles. It offers fast results with minimal downtime, with no need for transplant healing.
Can SMP be combined with other hair restoration procedures?
SMP can be used with other hair restoration methods to achieve even better results. For example, post-hair transplant, SMP can enhance the density and conceal sparse spots. This strategy can lead to a more complete and lifelike result.
Is SMP effective for women with hair loss?
Yes, both men and women, even with female pattern hair thinning, can benefit from SMP. The treatment can produce a denser hair illusion with a short, buzzed cut, improving confidence for individuals with thin patches. SMP can complement other hair restoration methods, refining the appearance of each follicle.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
Although it doesn’t stimulate new hair, SMP makes hair appear denser by replicating follicles. Special pigments are applied to replicate the appearance of hair, achieving both immediate and lasting results. Although SMP doesn’t involve hair transplantation, it effectively enhances the appearance of thinning areas.
