How is Male Pattern Baldness Diagnosed and How Does it Influence Hair Loss?
Male pattern baldness is marked by hair loss that predominantly impacts the hairline and crown areas. Genetics and hormones are major factors influencing this condition and other similar disorders.
Stages of Male Pattern Baldness
The Hamilton-Norwood scale helps identify stages of hair loss, from stage 1 (minimal hair loss) to stage 7 (complete baldness on the top of the scalp). Norwood stages 1 to 3 usually show mild to moderate recession of the hairline.
Stages 4 and 5 bring more advanced hair loss, with significant recession at the front and noticeable crown thinning. By stages 6 and 7, there is little to no hair left on the top of the head.
In rare cases, male pattern baldness can occur as diffuse thinning that spares the hairline or as isolated crown hair loss without a receding hairline.
Treatment For Male Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a groundbreaking, non-surgical solution that addresses male-pattern baldness. By simulating the appearance of hair follicles through specialized tattooing techniques, SMP restores the look of a full, buzzed head of hair.
Unlike hair transplant procedures that depend on donor grafts, SMP delivers instant density without the need for surgery or recovery. This efficient method provides consistent and natural-looking results for men at any stage of hair loss.
At Zang SMP in Culver City, we use carefully formulated organic, plant-based pigments. These pigments are expertly applied to mimic natural hair follicles, creating a buzzed appearance that blends seamlessly with your scalp.
SMP is a pain-free alternative to traditional surgical methods, allowing men to reclaim their confidence and style without the risks or downtime associated with transplants. If you're seeking a reliable and transformative hair loss solution, we are here to help.
The treatment typically involves two to three sessions. The first two treatments are spaced one week apart, with an optional third session scheduled 1 to 3 months later to fine-tune the results and ensure lasting satisfaction.
