Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, is a common condition affecting around 85% of men. Genetic factors contribute to hair follicles on the scalp being sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that gradually shrinks follicles and causes hair to become finer and weaker over time, ultimately resulting in baldness.

The pattern often begins with a receding hairline and then progresses to thinning at the crown, eventually resulting in hair loss across the entire top of the head.

Male hair loss is often influenced by genetics and androgens, hormones that facilitate hair growth and regulate the hair growth cycle.

The growth cycle of hair is specific to each individual. Men who notice hair loss often have a weakened growth cycle, resulting in their hair follicles shrinking over time, which leads to hair thinning and eventual baldness.

The diagnosis of male pattern baldness relies on recognizing its characteristic pattern of hair loss, often affecting the hairline and crown areas. Genetic predisposition and hormonal influences are crucial in this and similar hair conditions.

Hair loss experts in Frisco rely on the Hamilton-Norwood scale to classify varying stages of hair loss. Stage 1 is the mildest form, and stage 7 indicates complete baldness on the crown of the head. Patients with Norwood 1 to 3 hair loss often demonstrate mild to moderate hairline recession.

Norwood 4 to 5 patients typically experience severe hair loss in the frontal area and noticeable thinning at the crown. Norwood 6 to 7 indicates near-total or complete hair loss on the entire upper scalp.

There are also less typical forms of male pattern baldness, such as diffuse thinning throughout the entire scalp without hairline recession, or hair loss at the crown area with no noticeable hairline retreat.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive method used for male-pattern baldness treatment. It uses specialized tattooing on the scalp to simulate hair follicles, creating the illusion of thicker hair. SMP is capable of restoring a full head of hair, regardless of the degree of hair loss.

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

At Zang SMP, we use organic, plant-based pigments that are deposited into the scalp to replicate the appearance of hair follicles. This approach offers a life-changing result, transforming a bald head into a cropped (buzzed) look with SMP treatment in Frisco.

Say goodbye to surgery and painful hair transplants. SMP for men provides a non-invasive solution to transform your bald head into the look you desire. If you're dealing with undesired baldness, our SMP treatment can help you regain your desired hair appearance.

SMP generally includes two to three sessions for male-pattern hair loss. The first two treatments are spaced one week apart. If a third session is needed, it will be scheduled between 1 and 3 months later.

• Post your initial SMP session in Frisco, expect the pigments to look bold immediately after application.
