How is Male Pattern Baldness Diagnosed and How Does it Influence Hair Loss?
Male pattern baldness is evident through thinning hair at the crown and hairline. Genetics are the primary cause of this condition, while hormonal factors also contribute to its development, making it a significant issue among men experiencing hair loss.
Stages of Male Pattern Baldness
The Hamilton-Norwood scale is a key tool for classifying male pattern baldness, ranging from stage 1, indicating minimal loss, to stage 7, where baldness affects the entire top of the head.
Hairline recession during stages 1 to 3 is mild to moderate.
As progression reaches stages 4 and 5, the hairline retreats further, and crown thinning becomes more evident. By stages 6 and 7, the top of the scalp is completely bald.
Rare presentations include diffuse thinning across the scalp without hairline changes or isolated crown thinning with a preserved front hairline, demonstrating the scale’s ability to account for diverse hair loss patterns.
Treatment For Male Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) offers a modern, non-surgical approach to tackling male-pattern baldness. By applying specialized pigments to the scalp, SMP recreates the appearance of closely shaved hair, giving you a bold, youthful look that fits your lifestyle.
Unlike hair transplants, SMP provides a quick and efficient solution without the need for surgery, donor hair, or prolonged recovery. In just a few sessions, it can transform your appearance, whether your hair loss is in its early stages or more advanced.
At Zang SMP in Dana Point, we specialize in creating natural results through the use of organic, plant-based pigments. These pigments are carefully selected and expertly applied to blend with your existing hair, achieving a seamless and authentic appearance tailored to you.
SMP is more than a cosmetic treatment—it’s a confidence booster. The procedure is designed to help you regain your self-esteem and enjoy a rejuvenated sense of style without the inconvenience of invasive methods or downtime.
Typically, the SMP process includes two sessions gapped a week apart, with the option for a third session 1 to 3 months later. This additional session ensures the outcome is flawless, leaving you with a polished, professional look you can be proud of.
