Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) offers a cutting-edge permanent solution to all types of male pattern baldness. The most common causes of hair loss in men are genetics and male sex hormones, specifically androgens. Whether you are suffering from a receding hairline, a balding crown, or diffuse thinning, SMP can restore you to a natural full head of hair.
Best Treatment for Male Pattern Baldness: Scalp Micropigmentation
At ZangSMP, we expertly recreate each of your hair follicles using thousands of organic, plant-based pigments applied directly to your scalp. This technique results in a dramatic transformation, giving the appearance of a naturally full head of hair. Unlike hair transplantation, which is limited by the number of donor grafts, SMP can achieve any desired level of hair density instantly, with no downtime. Plus, unlike temporary solutions like fibers or powders, SMP provides a long-lasting, low-maintenance option that doesn’t require daily touch-ups. We tailor each treatment to every individual client, to create a realistic hairline that perfectly matches the shape of your head and your face.

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!

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.

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!

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 can I expect during the SMP treatment?
Each session will last 2-4 hours depending on the complexity of your case. For most clients who undergo our SMP treatment, 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 Zang SMP practitioners will ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
How will my head look immediately after my treatment?
You will immediately see a fresh, natural hairline and a coverage of new hair density on your scalp. The pigment will look bolder at first, and there will be some minor redness in the treated area. The redness will disappear within 2-3 days, and the pigment will be mostly settled within about a week.
How long does the SMP treatment last?
Typically with our clients, we expect touch-ups within the 5-8 year mark. This is a permanent procedure that will last forever, but it will lighten up over time due to wear and tear and the turnover of your skin cells.
How many SMP treatments do I need for male pattern baldness?
It depends on the severity of your hair loss. For men with mild to moderate loss (Norwood 1-4), you can expect 2 treatments within about one week, and in some cases, you may need a 3rd session a few months later. For men with severe hair loss (Norwood 5-7), you will need 3 sessions to achieve the desired result.
Do I need to take time off work, or follow any aftercare instructions?
Our Scalp Micropigmentation is non-invasive and nonsurgical. There is no downtime associated with it, you only need to follow the 4-day aftercare instructions (no liquids on the scalp, and wear a hat when outdoors). Many of our clients come in for treatment, go back home on the same day, and start work again the following day!
Who decides on the construction of the hairline?
At Zang SMP, the hairline design is a collaborative process. We consider factors such as your individual features and personal preferences to create the most natural and suitable result. Our goal is to ensure that your new hairline complements your overall appearance while aligning with your desired look.
Do I need to shave my head?
If we are recreating a new hairline and treating areas of scalp that are completely bald, you will need to shave your head every two days. This will prevent a contrast between the existing hair on the sides of your head, and the two-dimensional scalp micropigmentation treatment we have created. If you have some existing hair to work with, we can fill in the density with SMP and you can keep your hair longer. The hair length you can keep with SMP is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Is SMP a hair tattoo?
Not quite. Our technique utilizes specialized organic plant-based pigments with a fine point needle in order to create a hyper-realistic appearance of follicles on the head. It is a permanent cosmetics procedure and a proven form of hair restoration. Standard tattoo equipment is not capable of creating a realistic result for those who are looking to restore their hair.
Will SMP ever turn blue, or become blurry over time?
No. Our technique is specifically designed not to do this, and we have seen case studies going back as far as 15 years. Our pigments maintain proper tone over the long term so they will always match the color of your hair. We deposit the pigments only two layers deep into the skin, which ensures that no spreading or blurring will ever occur.
What if my hair goes gray after my SMP treatment?
Not to worry! Since the pigment also fades over time, there will never be a mismatch between your SMP treatment and the color of your hair. We have had clients who came back for a touch up after many years, and their hair had turned gray since the initial procedure. In these types of cases, we always see that the pigment has lightened up and that it still looks natural. We do a touch up with a different shade of ink to match their new hair color, and their hair looks fully dense again and completely natural!
What should I do for optimal maintenance of my treatment?
We recommend sun protection (SPF 50+ sunscreen, or a hat) if you are going to be in the sun for multiple hours. Excessive sun exposure can shorten the life of your treatment and cause you to need a touch up sooner. If you have a dry scalp, we suggest applying moisturizer every day.
How much does it cost?
For mild-moderate (Norwood 1-4) hair loss, it is $2400-$3400. For severe (Norwood 5-7) hair loss, it is $3400-$4200. If we are treating the entire top of the scalp and also concealing hair transplant scars, the cost ranges from $4200-$5200.
