Male Pattern Baldness

Androgenetic alopecia, known as male pattern baldness, is the most widespread cause of hair loss in men, with up to 85% experiencing it in their lifetime. Genetics is the main factor, making hair follicles on the scalp sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Over time, DHT causes these follicles to shrink, producing weaker, finer hair until no hair is visible.

The hair loss process typically begins with a receding hairline and advances to thinning at the crown, eventually affecting the entire top of the head.

Hair loss in men is frequently caused by genetics and male sex hormones like androgens, which have a role in hair growth.

Each person’s hair growth occurs in a distinct cycle. For men with hair loss, this cycle becomes weaker, leading to progressively smaller hair follicles. This progression causes men to have thinning hair, which eventually leads to complete hair loss.

Male pattern baldness is diagnosed by recognizing the typical pattern of hair loss that influences the hairline and crown, with genetics and hormones playing significant roles.

The Hamilton-Norwood scale is a classification tool for hair loss severity, with stage 1 representing minimal loss and stage 7 indicating complete baldness on the top of the head. A patient with Norwood stages 1 through 3 usually presents with a hairline that recedes from mild to moderate levels.

Those in Norwood stages 4 to 5 experience severe hair loss in the front and significant thinning at the crown, while Norwood stages 6 to 7 show near-total or total hair loss across the top of the head.

Unusual types of male pattern baldness involve diffuse thinning over the scalp without affecting the hairline or hair loss localized to the crown while the hairline remains unchanged.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive treatment for male-pattern baldness that involves applying a specialized tattoo to the scalp, simulating the look of hair follicles. SMP is effective in giving anyone the appearance of a full head of hair, irrespective of the extent of their hair loss.

Unlike hair transplantation that depends on a limited number of donor grafts, SMP can stimulate hair growth and achieve any level of hair density instantly, with no need for downtime.

Zang SMP uses natural, plant-based pigments that are applied to the scalp. These pigments resemble hair follicles, transforming your look from a bald head to a cropped (buzzed) style.

With SMP for men, you don’t have to undergo surgery or painful hair transplants. It helps you achieve the hair look you desire. If you have a bald head that wasn’t your choice, we can help. SMP provides the hair you need to enhance your appearance.

SMP generally requires two to three sessions. The first two sessions are one week apart for male-pattern hair loss. A third session, if needed, will be scheduled between one and three months later.

• The pigments will look more prominent right after your first SMP treatment due to their recent deposit.
• Within 24 hours, you’ll notice the pigments will look more settled.
• The redness will clear up within 48 to 72 hours.
• Once the treatment has settled, it will look entirely natural.
