Hair Loss Treatment for Men in San Clemente, CA
At Total Skin and Wellness, we specialize in innovative hair loss solutions for men, offering treatments that can bring back fuller, healthier-looking hair. Our approach utilizes scalp micropigmentation (SMP), a cutting-edge technique designed to replicate the appearance of natural hair, enhancing your look and boosting your confidence.
What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
SMP is an advanced procedure for men experiencing hair loss, thinning, or a receding hairline. It involves the use of medical-grade ink and a precision tool to dot pigment onto the scalp, mimicking the look of hair follicles. This technique is less invasive than traditional hair transplants, offering a painless and effective solution for hair restoration.
What Are the Benefits?
Patients who have noticed changes in the appearance of their hair, including thinning hair, male pattern baldness, or a receding hairline, can benefit from a customized scalp micropigmentation treatment plan. The treatment process is non-surgical, minimally invasive, relatively quick, and very effective. Other treatment benefits include the following:
Tailored treatment plans
Works alongside other hair growth methods
Long-lasting results
Safe with no harm to the skin or further hair loss
Most patients qualify for treatment
Treatments are comfortable
Comfortable procedure with minimal downtime
What Is the Difference Between SMP and Hairline Microblading?
SMP and hairline microblading are similar hair loss treatments, but they are not the same. Scalp micropigmentation doesn’t create hair-like strands like hairline microblading does. Instead, the device deposits pigmented dots onto the scalp to hide thinning hair and replicate the appearance of growing hair follicles.
The device is similar to an electric tattoo mechanism, not the manual blade used in hairline microblading. Both can help patients achieve different goals, but SMP is typically a better option for men looking to restore the appearance of fuller hair.
What Happens During a Treatment?
The treatment process begins with the application of a topical numbing cream. Our technician will use a thin, electric needle to deposit pigmented, medical-grade color directly onto the scalp. The entire process is completely customizable and will be tailored to meet each patient’s unique goals. Treatments typically take a few hours, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Is There Any Downtime After SMP?
After you undergo this hair restoration treatment, you can resume your normal daily activities. However, you will need to follow some aftercare instructions to ensure the best results. We typically advise that patients avoid sun exposure for several weeks post-treatment to protect their results.
You’ll also need to avoid strenuous exercise for the first several days and avoid swimming, steam rooms, and sauna use for a few weeks to avoid interfering with your results. We will provide you with some detailed instructions on how to care for the treatment area, which products to use, and which to avoid to ensure the best results.
When Are Hair Loss Treatments for Men Necessary?
There are many factors that contribute to hair loss and cause men to consider hair loss treatments. Chemotherapy can cause hair loss, as well as an autoimmune condition called alopecia areata. Additionally, the side effects of certain medications, illnesses, hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and other factors can all contribute to hair loss.
While there are many different hair loss treatments for men available, not all of them are effective, safe, or non-surgical. Men who want to improve their appearance and confidence by restoring the appearance of healthy hair can undergo SMP as a surgical alternative and achieve natural and long-lasting results.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients need three to four sessions with several days between each for the best results. Treatment plans vary based on each patient’s goals and the severity of their hair loss. When we meet with you to confirm your treatment eligibility, we can give you more details about what your treatment plan will look like based on your primary aesthetic goals.
How Long Will My Results Last?
After you undergo treatment, you can expect your results to last four years or longer. One of the reasons that patients choose this particular hair restoration treatment above other hair loss treatments is that not only are the results immediate and the process non-surgical, but the results can also last for years.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The best candidates for this treatment are men who want to reverse how hair loss has affected their appearance and confidence. Those who don’t want to undergo traditional hair loss treatments for men that require surgery, discomfort, or downtime or require that they take certain medications to stimulate hair growth can schedule SMP to achieve results.
Patients should be in good health, willing to follow all of the aftercare instructions, and have realistic expectations about the treatment and the outcome. An initial consultation is the best way to determine whether scalp micropigmentation is right for you.
