What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Androgenic alopecia, better known as male pattern baldness, is a frequent cause of hair loss in men. Hair thinning typically starts at the crown and hairline, leading to bald areas or a horseshoe formation along the sides of the head.
While genetic factors are significant in male pattern baldness, hormonal changes and aging also play a part.
Signs of Male Pattern Baldness
Potential signs of male pattern baldness include:
- Thinning at the top of the head
- Receding hairline
- Bald patches on the scalp
- Progressive hair thinning
- Scalp showing
- Loss of hair fullness

- A non-surgical and minimally invasive solution

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Scalp Micropigmentation work?
This technique involves adding pigments to the scalp to mimic real hair follicles. This approach provides the appearance of fuller hair with a shaved look, fitting many hair loss phases.
Is SMP a permanent solution?
You may experience some redness and slight swelling after SMP, but these should go away within a few days. We will provide you with detailed aftercare steps to promote healing and ensure the best results.
What is the recovery process like after SMP?
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?
SMP can improve the appearance of thinning hair by restoring fullness with a natural, shaved look.
How does SMP compare to hair transplant surgery?
SMP is a non-invasive method for hair restoration, unlike a traditional hair transplant. While hair transplants move hair follicles from one area to another, SMP creates the illusion of hair with specialized pigments. The technique results in quick outcomes with minimal downtime and no transplant recovery required.
Can SMP be combined with other hair restoration procedures?
SMP is effective when combined with other procedures to enhance hair restoration results. Post-transplant, SMP can be used to create a fuller look and cover any remaining bald spots. This method can enhance the overall look for a more natural effect.
Is SMP effective for women with hair loss?
Yes, this method is suitable for men and women with hair thinning issues, including female pattern baldness. This method simulates thicker hair with a shaved style, boosting the confidence of those with hair thinning. This solution works with other hair restoration techniques to improve the look of follicles.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP doesn’t result in hair growth; it achieves a fuller look by mimicking natural hair follicles. The technique uses specialized pigments to create a hair-like look, ensuring fast and durable outcomes. SMP uses no transplants but still successfully addresses the visible aspects of hair loss.
