Scalp Micropigmentation Short-Term Care
All skin types are different but generally directions below are for most skin types.
Immediately after treatment, your scalp may feel slightly more sensitive. After a few days the scalp may become dry, under no circumstances should you touch, pick at, shave with a blade or disturb your scalp while healing.
- Wait three days before wetting or touching the scalp after a treatment, you can clean with baby wipes.
- Do not exercise, sit in direct sunlight for long periods of time, or do any other activity that may cause heavy sweating.
- By the fourth day, you can use water to rinse your scalp. Do not use any shampoo or other soaps to clean the area for 7 days. We suggest using a clippers to trim the remaining hair in-between SMP treatments.
- If after 5 days your scalp is dry you can use 2 tea spoonfuls of virgin olive oil on scalp before bed, not moisturizer.
- Do not use a razor to trim your hair for a least two weeks after the third session.
Do not use the sauna for a least three weeks after your third session.
Do not swim in a chlorine swimming pool for at least three weeks after your third session.
Do not use shaving foam over the SMP area as they have a lot of chemicals in them.After seven days, you can clean the treated area. After the 1st and/or 2nd treatment there may be uneven blemishes in the pigmentation, this is normal, do not judge as it takes 3 sessions to finish the procedure.
Scalp Micropigmentation Long-Term Care
For Long-Term Care, We recommend neutrogena sun-cream which also has a matte finish to reduce head shine.
Ongoing Maintanance
We recommend a top up after 12 months to keep the texture of your SMP. When to get a top up can vary on skin types but generally every 12mths is ideal.
