Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, affects a vast majority of men, with roughly 85% experiencing varying degrees of hair loss. Genetic predisposition causes hair follicles on the scalp to become sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that gradually shrinks follicles and causes hair to become finer and weaker over time, eventually leading to baldness.

It often begins with a receding hairline and then progresses to thinning at the crown and eventual loss of hair on the entire top of the head.

Two primary reasons for male hair loss are genetics and androgens, male hormones that also play a role in promoting hair growth. These hormones are crucial for maintaining healthy hair follicles and supporting their growth cycle.

The growth cycle of hair is specific to each person. In men experiencing hair loss, this cycle becomes weakened, leading to hair follicles shrinking over time and resulting in thinning hair and eventual baldness.

Male pattern baldness is diagnosed based on its characteristic hair loss pattern, typically affecting both the hairline and crown areas. This condition, like others involving hair, is heavily influenced by genetics and hormones.

Hair loss experts in Denver utilize the Hamilton-Norwood scale to classify varying degrees of hair loss. Stage 1 represents the mildest condition, with stage 7 indicating complete baldness on the upper scalp. Patients with Norwood 1 to 3 hair loss commonly present with mild to moderate receding hairlines.

Norwood 4 to 5 patients generally suffer from significant hair loss in the frontal region, coupled with noticeable thinning at the crown. Norwood 6 to 7 represents near-complete or total hair loss on the entire upper scalp.

Some less frequent types of male pattern baldness involve diffuse thinning throughout the entire scalp without hairline retreat, or loss of hair at the crown with no receding hairline.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical treatment for male-pattern baldness. It involves tattooing the scalp to mimic hair follicles, resulting in the appearance of a fuller head of hair. SMP can effectively restore hair density, regardless of the degree of hair loss.

In contrast to hair transplantation, which requires a finite number of donor hair grafts to cover the scalp, SMP can stimulate hair growth and achieve unlimited levels of new hair density instantly and without downtime.

At Zang SMP, we apply organic, plant-based pigments to the scalp to mimic the appearance of hair follicles. This innovative approach delivers a remarkable change, transforming a bald head into a cropped (buzzed) aesthetic through SMP treatment in Denver.

Say goodbye to surgical procedures and painful transplants. SMP for men offers a straightforward way to achieve your desired hair look. If you're dealing with an undesired bald head, our SMP treatment can give you the hair you want to enhance your overall appearance.

For male-pattern hair loss, SMP typically consists of two to three sessions. The first two treatments are scheduled one week apart. A potential third session may occur 1 to 3 months after the initial treatments.
