Male Pattern Baldness Treatment in Las Vegas

Male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, is a condition that affects up to 85% of men in their lifetime. It’s caused by genetic factors, where hair follicles become sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which gradually causes the follicles to shrink and eventually stops hair growth.

The hair loss process usually starts with a receding hairline, followed by thinning at the crown, and, in severe cases, can result in complete baldness at the top of the scalp.

What Causes Male Pattern Baldness?

Male hair loss is largely a result of genetic factors and androgens, which influence hair growth in men.

Everyone’s hair goes through a natural growth cycle, but for men with hair loss, this cycle is interrupted. This results in shrinking hair follicles that cause thinning hair and, eventually, baldness.

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

Male pattern baldness typically manifests as hair loss around the hairline and crown areas. The development of this condition, like other hair loss issues, is heavily influenced by genetic factors and hormonal changes.

Stages of Male Pattern Baldness

The Hamilton-Norwood scale is an essential tool for evaluating hair loss, starting at stage 1, where loss is barely noticeable, progressing to stage 7, which signifies total baldness at the top of the head.

During stages 1 to 3, hairline recession is usually mild to moderate, with only slight changes visible.

In stages 4 and 5, the hairline recedes more and thinning at the crown becomes apparent. By stages 6 and 7, hair loss is extensive, leaving the top of the head completely bald.

In rare cases, male pattern baldness can cause diffuse thinning across the scalp, sparing the hairline, or localized thinning at the crown without hairline recession.

Treatment For Male Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical solution for male-pattern baldness that involves applying specialized pigments to the scalp. This gives you the appearance of natural hair follicles, providing a fresh, buzzed look that works with any style.

What makes SMP so appealing is that it offers immediate, reliable results without surgery or long recovery times. Unlike hair transplants, which are limited by donor hair, SMP provides an instant solution and is ideal for men at all stages of hair loss.

At Zang SMP in Las Vegas, we use organic, plant-based pigments that are safe for your scalp. Our talented practitioners ensure that the pigments blend seamlessly with your natural hair, creating a smooth, realistic result.

For those tired of dealing with the effects of hair loss, SMP offers a rejuvenating solution. It restores a youthful look and enhances confidence without any of the pain or downtime that comes with surgery.

The treatment typically involves two to three sessions. The first two are spaced one week apart, and an optional third session is scheduled 1 to 3 months later to perfect your results and ensure your satisfaction.

Just finished my 3rd session with Walter, best investment ever. I've tried everything short of a hair transplant over the past ten years and eventually stumbled upon SMP. I searched and researched the best SMP practitioners in the country and then decided to call the folks at Zang. Ridwan expertly walked me through the whole procedure and answered all of my questions.
If you're comfortable with the buzz cut look, SMP is the only way to go. And the team at Zang SMP are the real deal, true artists.

As a female, I didn't want to leave a public review in fear of someone I know seeing it - but at the same time, I want everyone to know about the amazingness that Zang SMP is!!! As someone who struggled with severe postpartum hair loss and a receding hair line, I really thought I would be a slave to hair powders and fillers for life (if not a transplant) and that has all changed!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience!! If you are female and hesitant to do this, DON'T BE!!! It will change your life!!! Huge thank you to Ridwan, Walter, and the rest of the guys at Zang!! Forever grateful!

Laura

I don't normally write reviews cause it's a waste of my time but I have to this time. Over the last 20 years, I've done 3 hair transplant procedures and I was not happy with the results. I started looking into SMP and call many places before I settled with ZangSMP. It's a bit more expensive but let me tell you, worth every pennies. After the 2nd time, everyone said there's no sign that I was ever bald. And what can I say about Walter. I couldn't thank him enough. He gave me the confident I needed and a new look in life. He's such a perfectionist and took the time to do it right and make sure I'm happy with the result. I even recommended my brother to give him a call.

Kevin

Thank u so much Walter and Ridd for your excellent customer service and I can't be any happier with the results. Walter is truly a master of his craft and he was able to hide my scar very well. I had gone to a different smp place before but wasnt happy with results. Zang Smp gave me the results I was looking for. There a reason why they have 5 stars on their reviews! Highly recommend!

Johnny

These guys changed my life for the better. I have had alopecia for 10 years, wearing wigs and being generally uncomfortable. I was looking for a long-term solution to my alopecia and this was it. Ridwan is a delight to set things up with, and Walter has a real eye for the details. This is worth the money. A load has been lifted and I couldn’t be happier. My only regret is not coming here sooner!

Alex

Zang is THE most skilled and experienced SMP practitioner BY FAR. I have had multiple treatments with him to fill in the density in my hair and beard, and the results are amazing. People don't even believe I've had anything done until I show them my before/after pics. Zang is a great guy with an incredible attention to detail, and his work has restored my confidence big time. I really can't recommend him enough. 5 stars!

FAQ’s

What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?

Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-surgical, hair restoration method of inserting organic plant-based pigment deposits through the dermal layer of the scalp. The pigment deposits replicate hair follicles and create the appearance of a full head of hair.

If you are completely bald we provide the 5 o’clock shadow look. If your hair is thinning or you are not satisfied with hair transplant surgery and require more density, SMP could be the solution you need.

What are the benefits of SMP?

SMP offers a non-invasive solution to increase visual hair density and is especially beneficial for individuals with alopecia areata and thinning hair. SMP enhances existing thinning hair densities, creating an illusion of fuller hair. Suitable for those with healthy normal skin, this technique provides a cosmetic alternative for those looking to restore their hair's appearance. It can also be an adjunct to hair restoration surgery, helping to camouflage scars or areas of previous hair density loss.

How many treatments do I need?

Scalp Micro Pigmentation is always done in a minimum of two treatments, both treatments one week apart. Reason being, we are working with your skin (the largest organ on the body) to accept our procedure; the human skin will reject some of the pigment immediately after the first treatment. We expect to see significant results after the first treatment but after the second treatment you will see more of a completion. There is a possibility of a third treatment 1-3 months after the second treatment where we add the finishing touches.

How long is each treatment?

Each session is 2-4 hours depending on the work at hand. The first treatment is typically the longest as we are constructing the hairline and putting in the foundational layer. Each subsequent treatment is typically shorter, although this can vary based on retention of previous treatments.

Who decides on the construction of the hairline?

There are factors that determine what hairline is suitable for you. We tailor the hairline to your individual features in order to create the most natural and appropriate result. We also account for your personal preferences, as there is a range of options for what can look natural on any given person.

I've already had 3 treatments, now what?

After following the initial after care instructions, sit back and enjoy the SMP treatment. We do offer a one year guarantee with our treatment plans so in case there is some lightening of the pigments, you have our guarantee that we will touch it up on us. After that, we will see you in a few years!

A "few years"? What does that mean exactly?

Typically with our clients we expect touch ups within the 5-8 years mark. This is a permanent procedure which will last forever, but there is normal wear and tear involved in the surface of the skin which causes it to lighten up over time.

What are the aftercare instructions?

It is crucial you follow our 4 day post-treatment instructions to prevent excessive fading and all forms of contamination. Essentially the instructions are no touching, washing, cutting, and no working out for the first 4 days. You can wear a hat immediately after each treatment. Don’t worry about sleeping on it, the pigment won’t smudge or smear on your pillows. See the PDF attached for the full aftercare instructions.

So I don't need to take time off from work?

Scalp Micropigmentation is non-invasive and nonsurgical. There is no downtime associated with it, you only need to follow the 4 day aftercare. Many of our clients come in for treatment and go back home on the same day, and start work again the following day.

Will people be able to tell I have the treatment done?

Initially after the first treatment the pigments will look bolder as they are freshly deposited. Overnight you will notice the pigments softening and settling down. As for the redness, it will disappear in 48-72 hours. Intensity of redness is based on sensitivity of the skin, but more or less clients will notice significantly less redness 48 hours after the first treatment. After the initial settling process is finished, your treatment will look completely natural.

Does it hurt?

For most clients who undergo SMP, the pain is not as intense as a traditional tattoo. Pain tolerance is case to case per client, but your health and safety is our priority. Our practitioners will ensure the process is as smooth as possible.

Do I need to keep the shaved look?

We will assess your hair loss during the consultation or via web assessment. Once we get an understanding of what class of hair loss you fall under, we provide a treatment plan with the style and look we recommend that would be optimal with our SMP procedure.

Clients classified as Norwood 6-7 hair loss need to maintain a shaved look due to the amount of coverage we have created on top of your head with SMP. As the hair on the back and sides keeps growing, the treatment will become more apparent as there is a visible contrast between your hair and the SMP. This is ultimately a permanent cosmetic procedure in which we are replicating hair follicles with pigmentation, which will never grow or create a 3D texture.

Adding density to an existing hairline and/or density to the crown is classified as a filler treatment. Good candidates for filler treatments are those who still have some hair around the area for us to blend the SMP in with.

Do you also do scar concealment?

Yes! Scalp Micropigmentation isn’t just for male pattern baldness. It is also used to conceal scars from previous surgeries or injuries. Both FUE and FUT transplant scars can be concealed with SMP.

Do I need to cut my hair before the SMP treatment?

If we are doing a filler treatment or scar concealment, we typically request our clients to come in with the shortest hair length they are going to keep, unless requested otherwise. If you have class 6 or 7 hair loss, you would need to shave your head before you come in for treatment and maintain it at that length.

What do I do for optimal maintenance?

We will provide suggestions for products to use to maintain your treatment. Please check the link to our products recommendation page.

Will it affect the treatment if I continue to shave my head?

You can shave your head every day and wash it as well, the treatment will not be damaged as it is in your epidermis layer. As a matter of fact, the majority of our clients who have this procedure shave every day!

How do I best protect my SMP from sunlight?

Overexposure to direct sunlight can cause the pigments to weaken, and overtime you will be damaging both the treatment and your scalp. Wear protective sunscreen or a hat whenever you are going out and expecting to be in direct sunlight for over an hour.

How much does it cost?

Cost for SMP is case by case, depending on the scale of hair loss and the amount of work needed. The first two treatments are one week apart with a possibility of a third treatment 1-3 months after the second. For scar concealments it is $800-$1000 per treatment. For class 2-4 hair loss it is $2400-$3400. Class 5-7 hair loss is $3400-$4200. Top of the scalp with scar concealment ranges from $4200-$5200 for 2-3 treatments.

When are the payments due?

There is a $400 booking deposit to secure your treatment dates with us. There is a typical wait time of 8 weeks for an appointment. We then split the payments 50/50 between the first two treatments. We do offer financing as well.
