In order for your new SMP heal properly (and look its best) these Pre & Post Care Instructions found below are of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE!
Attention Please: We strongly advise prospective new clients to book their appointments at least 3-4 months in advance of Vacations, Weddings, and Special Occasions.
SMP PRE-CARE
- Before commencement of your first Scalp Micropigmentation treatment, We highly recommend eating a meal prior to the session and arrive hyrdated. Also clients are encouraged to bring a snack and a beverage.
- If you have a dry or flaky scalp, please exfoliate and moisturize your scalp 1 week prior to your appointment. We suggest apple cider vinegar scalp scrub to exfoliate and a deep moisturizing conditioner. This will ensure your SMP treatment's impressions on your scalp
- Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to scheduled appointment. We look forward to helping you achieve your desired look and feel for your particular look. Welcome to your Scalp Micropigmentation Journey!
SMP POST-CARE
- During the 4 days refrain from any activities that can cause profuse sweating, as this can cause excessive fading. Do not wash or cut the treated areas of the scalp for the first four days after each treatment. You may take a shower but try not to get water on the treated area during the first 4 days.
- Also make sure that the shower is not hot enough to cause sweating. Refrain from saunas, swimming pools and any excessive sunlight for 30 days after your last treatment.
- After 30 days you may start to use sunblock and follow long term aftercare procedures.
- Refrain from submerging underwater during bathing or swimming for a full 30 days to avoid infection.
SMP LONG TERM CARE
- Long term aftercare Rule #1: Use SPF to protect from premature fading! If you are out in the sun for extended periods of time, a hat to protect your scalp is recommended in addition to reapplying sunscreen to your scalp throughout the day. Unprotected exposure to the sun can and WILL cause unnecessary and early fading issues.
- Be vigilant and protect your treatment. It is also recommended to moisturize your scalp with something like an Aveeno Body Lotion periodically so the skin stays hydrated and ink appears more vivid.
