What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness, known scientifically as androgenic alopecia, is a prevalent hair loss condition in men. It starts with thinning hair at the crown and hairline, eventually resulting in bald patches or a horseshoe-shaped ring on the sides and back.
Genetics are a primary cause of male pattern baldness, with aging and hormone levels adding to the issue.
Signs of Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness is often marked by signs such as:
- Reduced volume of hair at the crown
- Hairline recession
- Bald areas on the scalp
- Slow hair loss process
- Scalp becoming noticeable
- Reduced hair fullness

What To Expect During Your Appointment
At our Rochdale, UK office, your consultation will include an assessment of your hair loss and a discussion about your desired outcomes. They will provide details about the SMP process, explaining how the pigments are applied and what results you might see. The process involves using tiny, shaded dots to mimic the natural look of hair follicles.
To provide comfort, local anesthesia may be administered on the day of your treatment. Depending on the area being treated, the SMP process can take several hours. The treatment generally results in mild discomfort for most patients.
Some slight redness and swelling can occur after the procedure but will usually fade within a few days. You’ll receive clear aftercare guidance to ensure the best possible healing and results. A noticeable improvement in hair thickness is often seen immediately, with full results visible after several weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Scalp Micropigmentation work?
By applying specialized pigments, SMP simulates the appearance of natural hair on the scalp. It creates the illusion of thicker hair with a shaved effect and works across different hair loss stages.
Is SMP a permanent solution?
This technique ensures prolonged results, maintaining a fuller look for several years. To retain the look, periodic touch-ups may be required.
What is the recovery process like after SMP?
Post-procedure, it’s common to see some redness and mild swelling, which will usually fade in a few days. To ensure the best results, you will receive thorough aftercare instructions.
Can SMP restore density in thinning areas?
SMP can restore the look of thicker hair in thinning areas, creating a natural, shaved style.
How does SMP compare to hair transplant surgery?
SMP is a non-invasive procedure that serves as an alternative to a hair transplant. SMP is a non-surgical method that mimics the appearance of hair follicles with pigments, unlike hair transplants, which move follicles. The technique ensures immediate results with little downtime, avoiding hair transplant recovery.
Can SMP be combined with other hair restoration procedures?
SMP can complement other hair treatments to further enhance the final look. After hair restoration surgery, SMP can be applied to enhance fullness and cover remaining thin areas. Combining both can result in a more authentic and polished look.
Is SMP effective for women with hair loss?
This technique is effective for both men and women with hair loss, covering cases of female pattern thinning. It offers the appearance of thicker hair with a shaved look, allowing individuals to regain confidence despite thinning hair. SMP adds versatility to hair restoration, improving the appearance of individual follicles.
What can I expect in terms of hair growth after SMP?
SMP does not generate new hair but enhances the illusion of thickness by replicating follicles. It involves using specialized pigments to recreate hair’s look, delivering both quick and lasting effects. SMP doesn’t include hair transplants but is effective in dealing with the outward signs of hair loss.
