Female Pattern Hair Loss in East Los Angeles

Female pattern hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia, affects many women and is defined by the progressive thinning of hair, particularly on the scalp's top and crown areas. As the condition evolves, the thinning leads to a more visible scalp and a wider part, making the hair loss increasingly prominent.

What Causes Female Hair Loss?

In female pattern hair loss, hair follicles progressively shrink, leading to the formation of thinner and shorter hair strands. Over time, some follicles may completely stop generating new hair. This condition is predominantly influenced by genetic predispositions, hormonal variations, and the natural aging process.

Men with male pattern baldness often lose hair in specific, clearly defined areas, whereas women are more likely to experience a uniform thinning of hair across the scalp, without the appearance of a receding hairline.

Stages of Female Hair Loss

The Ludwig scale is employed by hair loss professionals to classify the extent of female pattern hair loss, spanning from stage 1, the least severe, to stage 3, the most advanced. In stage 1, the scalp becomes noticeably apparent when the hair is parted on the top of the head.

During stage 2 of female pattern hair loss, there is increased visibility of the scalp in the central region, with thinning that extends to surrounding areas. Stage 3 indicates extensive thinning across the entire scalp. Another prevalent condition in women is traction alopecia, characterized by permanent hair loss at the edges from the repeated stress of tight braids or hairstyles.

Treatment For Female Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a sophisticated, non-invasive approach for managing female pattern baldness. This technique uses organic, plant-based pigments to recreate natural hair follicles on the scalp, providing an immediate boost in hair density with no downtime.

At Zang SMP in East Los Angeles, specially developed pigments are used to replicate natural hair follicles, providing a non-invasive solution to surgery and hair transplants. This method effectively hides bald spots, creates the illusion of hair growth, and enhances your image.

The standard SMP procedure includes two to three sessions. The initial sessions, spaced one week apart, are designed to address female pattern hair loss. If required, a third session can be scheduled one to three months later to fine-tune the density and achieve the desired appearance.

Would a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss?

For the majority of female pattern hair loss cases, as well as male pattern hair loss, hair transplants are generally not the optimal choice. This is because they depend on a supply of donor hair grafts, which might be insufficient when thinning affects the entire scalp.

Introducing grafts to areas with pre-existing hair carries the risk of influencing some of the native follicles, which could cause a reduction in the overall density of the hair.

As a permanent remedy for female hair loss, Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is notable for its safety and efficiency. It delivers instant results, enhances hair density without damaging existing follicles, bypasses surgical procedures, and requires no recovery time.

“As a female, I didn't want to leave a public review in fear of someone I know seeing it - but at the same time, I want everyone to know about the amazingness that Zang SMP is!!! As someone who struggled with severe postpartum hair loss and a receding hair line, I really thought I would be a slave to hair powders and fillers for life (if not a transplant) and that has all changed!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience!! If you are female and hesitant to do this, DON'T BE!!! It will change your life!!! Huge thank you to Ridwan, Walter, and the rest of the guys at Zang!! Forever grateful!”

Laura

“These guys changed my life for the better. I have had alopecia for 10 years, wearing wigs and being generally uncomfortable. I was looking for a long-term solution to my alopecia and this was it. Ridwan is a delight to set things up with, and Walter has a real eye for the details. This is worth the money. A load has been lifted and I couldn’t be happier. My only regret is not coming here sooner!”

Alex

“Zang is THE most skilled and experienced SMP practitioner BY FAR. I have had multiple treatments with him to fill in the density in my hair and beard, and the results are amazing. People don't even believe I've had anything done until I show them my before/after pics. Zang is a great guy with an incredible attention to detail, and his work has restored my confidence big time. I really can't recommend him enough. 5 stars!”

William

“Just finished my 3rd session with Walter, best investment ever. I've tried everything short of a hair transplant over the past ten years and eventually stumbled upon SMP. I searched and researched the best SMP practitioners in the country and then decided to call the folks at Zang. Ridwan expertly walked me through the whole procedure and answered all of my questions.If you're comfortable with the buzz cut look, SMP is the only way to go. And the team at Zang SMP are the real deal, true artists.”

Rick

“I don't normally write reviews cause it's a waste of my time but I have to this time. Over the last 20 years, I've done 3 hair transplant procedures and I was not happy with the results. I started looking into SMP and call many places before I settled with ZangSMP. It's a bit more expensive but let me tell you, worth every pennies. After the 2nd time, everyone said there's no sign that I was ever bald. And what can I say about Walter. I couldn't thank him enough. He gave me the confident I needed and a new look in life. He's such a perfectionist and took the time to do it right and make sure I'm happy with the result. I even recommended my brother to give him a call.”

Kevin

“Thank u so much Walter and Ridd for your excellent customer service and I can't be any happier with the results. Walter is truly a master of his craft and he was able to hide my scar very well. I had gone to a different smp place before but wasnt happy with results. Zang Smp gave me the results I was looking for. There a reason why they have 5 stars on their reviews! Highly recommend!”

Oliver

“After 2 hair transplants and a botched smp I felt all hope was lost I wanted more density I researched looked into doing Smp.again After sailing across the sea lol I found Zang. They are master perfectionist artist that truly define what SMP is. Walter did mine.

FAQ’s about SMP for Female Pattern Hair Loss

What should I anticipate during the SMP treatment?

Each session typically lasts between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of your situation. For most clients, the discomfort is less intense compared to a traditional tattoo. Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but your health and safety are our top priorities. Our Zang SMP practitioners will work to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

What will my head look like right after the treatment?

You will notice a significant and immediate improvement in the density of your hair. Initially, the pigment will appear more intense, and there may be some slight redness in the treated area. The redness should fade within 2-3 days, while the pigment will mostly settle down within about a week.

How long does SMP last on the scalp?

For most of our clients, we anticipate touch-ups around the 5-8 year mark. While this is a permanent procedure, it will gradually lighten over time due to natural wear and tear and the turnover of skin cells.

How many SMP treatments do I need for female pattern hair loss?

It depends on the extent of your hair loss. For women with mild to moderate thinning, you can expect to have 2 treatments within about a week, with a possible 3rd session a few months later. For those with severe hair loss, 3 sessions will be necessary to achieve the desired results.

Will I need to take time off work or follow any aftercare guidelines?

Our Scalp Micropigmentation is non-invasive and nonsurgical, requiring no downtime. You just need to adhere to the 4-day aftercare instructions, which include avoiding liquids on the scalp and avoiding any products in your hair. Many of our clients have their treatment, return home the same day, and are back at work the next day!

Will SMP look natural if I am adding density into my hairline?

We will ensure your results look completely natural by designing a soft hairline with lower density at the front and greater density in the area behind it. At ZangSMP we effectively mimic the natural pattern of hair growth and create an undetectable result every time.

Will my SMP treatment still look natural if I dye my hair a different color?

Typically, yes! SMP is a very versatile treatment and it tends to blend well with a variety of different hair colors once we have properly matched the pigment to your skin tone. The only exception would be if your hair is very dark at the time of treatment, and then you dye your hair extremely light (platinum blonde, white, etc.) at a later time.

Is SMP similar to microblading, or a hair tattoo?

SMP is a unique permanent cosmetic method of hair restoration that is distinctly different from microblading or tattooing. Our SMP equipment and organic pigment is specially designed to create a natural appearance of follicles that blend with the hair on your head. Microblading tends not to be an appropriate method for the top of the head, because the texture of the scalp usually causes the strokes to spread over time and become large and blurry. Standard tattoo equipment is completely incapable of creating a natural result because the needle is too large to create small follicular deposits and the tattoo ink cannot match the natural color of your hair.

Does SMP turn blue or green, or become blurry in the long term?

Never. Our technique is carefully engineered to avoid this issue, and we have case studies dating back 15 years to support it. Our pigments stay true to color over time, ensuring they always blend seamlessly with your hair. By depositing the pigments only two layers deep in the skin, we eliminate the risk of spreading or blurring.

If my hair turns gray after SMP, will it still look natural?

Yes, it will always look natural! Since the pigment gradually fades over time, there will never be a mismatch between your SMP treatment and your hair color. We’ve had clients return for touch-ups after many years, even when their hair had turned gray since the original procedure. In these situations, we consistently find that the pigment has lightened and still appears natural. We then do a touch-up with a different shade of ink to match their new hair color, resulting in a full and completely natural look!

Are there any hair products that could damage my SMP treatment?

No. Once the 4-day aftercare period is over, you can use whatever hair products or dyes you want as long as they do not cause irritation to your scalp. If your hair is thin enough to significantly expose your scalp, there is a risk that excessive sun exposure can cause your SMP to lighten faster than normal. For cases like these we recommend either spraying SPF 50+ sunscreen on your scalp or wearing a hat if you are going to be in the sun for many hours.

What is the cost of SMP?

Cases of mild to moderate thinning (Ludwig 1-2) are $2400-$3400. More severe cases of hair loss (Ludwig 3) are $3400-$4200.
