Male pattern baldness can be a source of embarrassment and low self-confidence. The most common cause is genetic, but factors like age and stress also contribute to this condition. Fortunately, scalp micropigmentation (SMP) offers a nonsurgical solution that helps men conceal their baldness.

Owner Britt Baker can provide information about this popular hair restoration treatment and how it works at Bladed Inc. Call now to book a consultation in Zionsville, IN, and see the results for yourself. Patients can expect natural-looking, realistic hair follicles that leave the scalp looking fuller and healthier.

What does male pattern baldness look like?

For most men, thinning hair starts at the crown and recedes backward in a characteristic “M” shape. Male pattern baldness does not always progress to complete hair loss, but it can cause a receding hairline and bald patches.

Thinning or balding areas can be challenging to hide because of the difference in color between the hair and your scalp. Scalp micropigmentation may be the answer if you want to achieve natural-looking coverage without toupees, over-the-counter products, or invasive hair restoration procedures.

How does scalp micropigmentation help?

Scalp micropigmentation involves inserting tiny pigments the same color as your hair into the top layers of your skin. When done correctly, the pigments blend with the remaining hairs to create a fuller look. Britt always takes special care to match the natural growth patterns of your existing hair during treatment. We also make existing follicles seem thicker.

What happens during an SMP appointment

Not everyone is a candidate for scalp micropigmentation, which is why a consultation with Bladed Inc. is so important. During this meeting, Britt will discuss the procedure in detail and examine your scalp. Ideal candidates are willing to undergo a minimum of 3 – 4 treatments that last 2 – 4 hours each. Patients should also follow any pre- and post-care guidelines as given by our team.

An SMP appointment in Zionsville, IN begins with a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. The actual process involves tiny needles puncturing the skin and depositing pigments in areas of thinning hair or bald patches. Once the treatment is complete, we provide advice on how best to care for your scalp.

What if I had a hair transplant procedure? Can I get SMP?

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE) are popular treatments among people with male pattern baldness. They work by transplanting hairs from a donor area to the recipient site. However, FUT and FUE come with certain drawbacks. Some men have thin areas between grafts and/or visible scars. Many men are frustrated because the transplanted hairs don’t look or feel like their own hair.

The good news is that scalp micropigmentation can be used to conceal these issues, leaving you with a more uniform appearance. Bladed Inc. works with men of all backgrounds, including those who have undergone hair transplants and still need additional coverage.
