What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness, also called androgenic alopecia, is a typical cause of hair loss in men. It usually starts with thinning on the crown and a receding hairline, leading to bald patches or a horseshoe pattern around the head.
Male pattern baldness is mainly caused by genetic factors, with hormones and age being additional contributors.
Signs of Male Pattern Baldness
The usual signs of male pattern baldness include:
- Reduced hair density at the crown of the scalp.
- Hairline pushing further back.
- Scalp with visible bald spots.
- Ongoing, slow hair loss.
- Scalp visible in areas of hair loss.
- Thinning of hair strands.
How Scalp Micropigmentation Can Help
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive, effective solution for male pattern baldness. It uses pigments to create the appearance of natural hair follicles on the scalp, giving a fuller, buzzed look.
This treatment is ideal for all stages of hair loss, restoring a natural look to areas impacted by male pattern baldness.

- A treatment option with minimal surgical intervention.
- Immediate outcomes with limited downtime.
- Makes hair look fuller and more voluminous.
- Designed for all hair colors and skin types.

What To Expect During Your Appointment
During your consultation in Fort Myers, FL, our skilled practitioners will assess your hair loss and discuss your aesthetic goals. They will explain how the SMP procedure works, including the pigment application process and the results you can expect. The method involves applying tiny, layered dots in varying tones to recreate the appearance of natural hair follicles.
On the day of your procedure, local anesthesia is typically applied to ensure you remain comfortable. The SMP treatment usually takes several hours, depending on the size of the treated area. Discomfort is generally minimal for most patients during the procedure.
After the procedure, there may be some redness and light swelling, but these typically disappear within a few days. Aftercare instructions will be provided to help promote healing and achieve optimal results. Most patients notice a quick improvement in their hair density, with full results visible after a few weeks.
