SCALP MICRO-PIGMENTATION POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Following your SMP treatment, we recommend that all patients follow the instructions below in order to help recovery of the treatment.
DAY 1 – 4
- Pleas ensure the scalp remains dry – this includes any washing or rubbing of your scalp as this may cause fading.
- Avoid excessive sweating by avoiding heavy exercise and saunas as sweating will make the treated area wet and itchy.
- Do not shave the treated area or apply any product to the scalp
DAY 5 -10
- You can now resume your regular routine with hair washing, but please ensure you don’t rub vigorously till day 7 following your treatment.
- If you want to shave, it is advised to use an electric foil shaver and not a razor blade to avoid shaving off any remaining scabs.
- Ideally we recommend waiting until day 7 to shave
- A razor blade shave can be done after day 10
- You may now resume your normal exercise routine
For long term maintenance of your SMP
- We ask that you avoid swimming pools, hot tubs and saunas as the high chlorine level could affect the colour of the SMP. This is indicated for the first 30 days post-procedure.
- Please ensure your moisture regularly and take adequate precautions in direct sunlight such using a hat and applying sunscreen.
