Male Pattern Baldness

Also referred to as androgenetic alopecia, male pattern baldness is prevalent in about 85% of men at some point in their lives. Genetics play a key role in making hair follicles atop the head sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes follicles to shrink progressively and produce thinner, weaker hair, eventually leading to visible hair loss.

The usual progression starts with a receding hairline and then advances to thinning at the crown and eventual hair loss on the entire top of the head.

Male hair loss often stems from genetics and androgens, essential hormones that support hair growth and contribute to overall male health.

Every person's hair has its own growth cycle. When men start experiencing hair loss, it indicates a compromised growth cycle, causing their hair follicles to shrink gradually, which leads to thinning hair and eventual baldness.

Recognizing male pattern baldness involves observing its typical pattern of hair loss, which often impacts the hairline and crown areas. Genetics and hormonal imbalances are significant contributors to this and other hair-related conditions.

The Hamilton-Norwood scale serves as a tool for hair loss specialists in Atlanta to categorize different levels of hair loss. Stage 1 signifies the least severe condition, while stage 7 denotes total baldness on the top of the head. Patients experiencing Norwood 1 to 3 hair loss typically exhibit mild to moderate hairline recession.

Patients falling into the Norwood 4 to 5 category often present with severe hair loss in the frontal zone and notable thinning at the crown. Norwood 6 to 7 indicates nearly complete or total hair loss across the entire top of the scalp.

Less common variations of male pattern baldness include diffuse thinning across the entire scalp without hairline recession, or hair loss at the crown area without a receding hairline.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical procedure used to treat male-pattern baldness by tattooing the scalp to simulate hair follicles. This technique creates the illusion of a full head of hair and can be effective for all levels of hair loss severity.

Unlike hair transplantation, which relies on a restricted supply of donor hair grafts to cover the scalp, SMP can stimulate the appearance of hair growth and is capable of creating unlimited levels of new hair density with immediate results and no downtime.

Zang SMP employs organic, plant-based pigments that are inserted into the scalp. These pigments emulate the look of natural hair follicles, resulting in a significant transformation. Instead of appearing bald, SMP treatment in Atlanta creates a cropped (buzzed) hairstyle.

Achieve the look you want without surgery or painful procedures. SMP for men offers a solution to improve the appearance of your bald head. If you're dealing with unwanted baldness, our SMP treatment can help you achieve the hair look you desire.

SMP generally involves two to three sessions for male-pattern hair loss. The first two treatments are spaced a week apart. If a third session is necessary, it will be scheduled within 1 to 3 months.
