How is Male Pattern Baldness Diagnosed and How Does it Influence Hair Loss?
Male pattern baldness is recognized by the gradual loss of hair at the hairline and crown. Both genetic factors and hormonal imbalances are key contributors to the development of this condition and other related hair loss conditions.
Stages of Male Pattern Baldness
The Hamilton-Norwood scale helps measure the severity of hair loss, starting from stage 1, where hair loss is minimal, to stage 7, where baldness occurs on the top of the head.
Stages 1 to 3 are characterized by a mild to moderate recession of the hairline.
As the scale moves to stages 4 and 5, hair loss becomes more noticeable with thinning around the crown and a significant recession of the front hairline. By stages 6 and 7, most of the hair on the scalp’s top is lost.
Occasionally, male pattern baldness may appear as diffuse thinning across the scalp or as a localized thinning at the crown without affecting the hairline.
Treatment For Male Pattern Hair Loss: Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment for male-pattern baldness. The procedure uses specialized pigments that are carefully applied to the scalp to mimic natural hair follicles, giving you a sharp, buzzed look that fits any style.
SMP is different from hair transplants because it doesn’t rely on donor hair and doesn’t require surgery. It delivers instant results without the need for a long recovery period, making it a great solution for men dealing with any stage of hair loss.
At Zang SMP in Ontario, we use organic, plant-based pigments that are safe and effective. Our team of experts applies these pigments with precision, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural hairline for a flawless, natural-looking result.
SMP is the perfect option for men who want to boost their confidence and restore a youthful look without going through the pain or downtime of surgery. It’s designed to provide a natural, rejuvenated appearance that lasts.
Typically, SMP treatment requires two to three sessions. The first two sessions are spaced one week apart, and a third session, if needed, can be scheduled 1 to 3 months later to perfect the final look.
