SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION BEFORE AND AFTER CARE

 Every client’s skin responds differently to SMP procedures, and this information acts as a guideline only.

BEFORE:

The week before your first session:

  • Moisturise your scalp to ensure it is in the best condition.
  • Remove hair system to get fresh air to the scalp.

On the day of your treatment:

  • Wash hair to remove any hair fibres, hair thickening spray, gels, or moisturiser.
  • Shave your head with clippers or electric head shaver.

AFTER:

SHORT-TERM CARE:

  • Under no circumstances should you touch, pick at, or disturb your scalp.
  • You must wait 3 days before washing or touching the scalp after a treatment.
  • Prevent your body from sweating by resting during this time. Do not exercise, sit in the sun, or do any other activity that may cause you to sweat.
  • By the 4th day, you can use water to rinse your scalp. Do not use any shampoo or other soaps to clean the area.
  • If you are planning on having another treatment, begin moisturizing the scalp at this time.
  • After 7 days, you can clean the treated area. We recommend washing the scalp with a gentle facial cleanser.
  • During the first 30 days, it is critical that you avoid exposure to UV rays, intense sweating, or any damage to the scalp while your micropigmentation sets.

LONG-TERM CARE:

  • Continue to avoid direct exposure to intense sunlight and protect yourself from UV rays. This will help the treatment from “fading” and will give you better results for a longer period of time.
  • Use a quality non-greasy sunscreen.
  • Do not use products that contain alcohol as a quick drying agent. Specifically, look out for SD alcohol, denatured alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol high on the list of ingredients.
  • Always moisturize your scalp at least once every day.
  • Remove dead skin cells by using an exfoliating cleanser to keep your scalp looking great.
