What causes male pattern baldness?
Male pattern baldness is most commonly caused by genetics or is hereditary. It has also been related to the male sex hormones called androgens, which help to regulate hair growth. Every hair has a growth cycle and with male pattern baldness, the hair follicle shrinks and produces shorter, finer strands of hair, ending with no new hair growing at all.
In rarer cases, male pattern baldness can be caused by more serious conditions including cancer, thyroid conditions, medications and anabolic steroids. If you notice sudden hair loss after taking new medications, or combined with other health issues, please contact your doctor for advice.

The Process
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) for male pattern baldness involves applying natural pigments into the scalp to replicate the look of real hair follicles. The process typically takes place over several sessions, gradually building density and definition for a realistic result. Each treatment is tailored to your hairline, skin tone, and hair colour, restoring the appearance of a fuller scalp and a natural hairline — all without surgery, scarring, or downtime.
Step 1: Consultation & Mapping
Your journey begins with a personal consultation at ScalPerfection. We assess your level of hair loss, discuss your goals, and design a hairline that matches your natural bone structure, age, and style preference. Our goal is to ensure your new look feels completely authentic and enhances your confidence.
Step 2: Pigment Application
Using specialised micro-needles, we carefully deposit pigment into the scar tissue and surrounding scalp over multiple sessions. This process breaks up the contrast between the scar and the skin while replicating the look of natural hair follicles. Each session gradually improves coverage and texture, helping the scar blend smoothly with the surrounding area.
Step 3: Aftercare & Maintenance
After your sessions are complete, we provide detailed after-care instructions to help protect the treated area. This includes avoiding direct sunlight, sweating, and shaving for a short period. Depending on your skin type and healing process, occasional touch-up sessions may be recommended to maintain the most natural and lasting results.
Ideal candidates
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an excellent solution for anyone looking to reduce the visibility of scars on the scalp. Whether your scar is from a hair transplant, injury, burns, or surgery, SMP can help blend the scar into the surrounding hair and skin to create a smoother, more uniform appearance without surgery.
SMP for scar camouflage is suitable for both men and women of all hair colours and skin tones. Each treatment is customised to match your natural hair growth and pigment, helping to soften the contrast between the scar and surrounding scalp. This results in a more natural look and renewed confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Male pattern baldness often begins with a loss of hair at the temples or crown of the head. You may also notice your hairline receding into an ‘M’ shape. For some men, this receding will continue until most or all the hair is gone.
There is currently no known way to prevent male pattern baldness. One theory is that a reduction in stress can help, but this is not guaranteed.
There is no male pattern baldness cure, but there are a number of treatments to help slow or hide the hair loss. These include:
- Hairstyles
- Wigs and hairpieces
- Weaves
- Minoxidil (Rogaine)
- Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar)
- Hair transplants
Also, if losing your hair is significantly affecting your self-esteem and confidence, it is worth considering counselling to help cope with this change.
Scalp micropigmentation, or SMP, is an effective male pattern baldness treatment, giving the appearance of a full head of hair that has been shaved or cut close to the scalp.
Micropigmentation is a form of cosmetic hair tattooing that replicates the hair follicles that are ready to grow. SMP can be used to mask thinning hair, as well as male pattern baldness. You can also use SMP to maintain a receding hairline, although be aware that you may need to cut your hair shorter to match the scalp tattoos.
The overall look of scalp pigmentation is completely natural and undetectable to the untrained eye. Just take a look at our gallery to see the results!
