Male Pattern Baldness in Denver

What is Male Pattern Baldness?

Androgenetic alopecia, commonly called male pattern baldness, is the leading cause of hair loss in men, affecting approximately 85% of them at some point in their lives. Genetics is the primary cause, making the hair follicles on the scalp sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Over time, DHT leads to follicle shrinkage, resulting in finer, weaker hairs until the follicles stop producing visible hair altogether.

The pattern usually starts with a receding hairline and gradually leads to thinning at the crown and overall hair loss on the top of the head.

What Causes Male Pattern Baldness?

Hair loss in men is often caused by genetics and male hormones, particularly androgens, which play a role in promoting hair growth.

Every person's hair follows a distinct growth cycle. When men begin to lose hair, it indicates a weakened growth cycle, causing the hair follicles to gradually shrink. This causes men to experience hair thinning, which eventually results in complete baldness.

How is Male Pattern Baldness Diagnosed and How Does it Influence Hair Loss?

Male pattern baldness is identified by its distinct pattern of hair loss, usually affecting the hairline and crown. Genetics and hormones are key factors in this condition, which is one of many hair disorders.

Stages of Male Pattern Baldness

Hair loss specialists use the Hamilton-Norwood scale to categorize various degrees of hair loss, with stage 1 being the mildest and stage 7 representing complete baldness on the top of the head. A patient with Norwood stages 1 to 3 generally shows mild to moderate recession of the hairline.

Patients with Norwood stages 4 to 5 experience severe hair loss in the frontal area and notable thinning at the crown. Norwood stages 6 to 7 indicate almost complete or total hair loss across the top of the scalp.

Less common types of male pattern baldness include diffuse thinning across the whole scalp without affecting the hairline or hair loss confined to the crown without hairline recession.

Treatment For Male Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical treatment for male-pattern baldness. It involves a specialized tattooing technique applied to the scalp to create the look of hair follicles. SMP can effectively create the appearance of a full head of hair for anyone, regardless of how severe their hair loss is.

Unlike hair transplantation, which depends on a finite number of donor hair grafts, SMP can boost hair growth and create any level of hair density instantly with no recovery time.

At Zang SMP, we use natural, plant-based pigments applied to the scalp. These pigments replicate the look of hair follicles, transforming the appearance from a bald head to a cropped (buzzed) style.

There's no need for surgery or a painful hair transplant. With SMP for men, you can achieve the hair look you desire. If you're dealing with an unwanted bald head, we can assist. SMP provides the appearance of hair you need to enhance your image.

SMP usually requires two to three sessions. The first two treatments are spaced one week apart for male-pattern hair loss. If a third session is necessary, it will occur between one and three months later.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • After your initial SMP treatment, the pigments will appear more pronounced because they have just been applied.
  • Within 24 hours, the pigments will settle and appear more natural.
  • After 48 to 72 hours, any redness that appeared will fade away.
  • After the settling process, your hair treatment will appear entirely natural.
