Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a minimally invasive treatment that can help to camouflage hair loss and create the appearance of a fuller head of hair. The procedure involves injections of pigment into the scalp to create the illusion of hair follicles. However, you must take proper aftercare measures in order to maintain optimal results.
With that being said, here are some easy tips to follow after you have received a scalp micropigmentation treatment:
Keep Your Scalp Dry
It is important to keep your scalp dry for at least the first 48 hours after your treatment. This means avoiding activities that will make you sweat, such as working out or saunas. You should also avoid washing your hair during this time as wet hair can cause the colour pigments to spread. If you must wash your hair, be sure to use mild shampoo and avoid scrubbing your scalp too vigorously. As well, it is recommended to avoid using a hairdryer during this time.
Avoid Touching Your Scalp
It is crucial to avoid touching or scratching your scalp during the healing process. This can cause the pigment to be displaced and may result in an uneven appearance or risk of infection. If you have an itch, we recommend using a soft-bristled brush to gently scratch the area.
Wash Your Scalp Before Your Next Visit
You will need to wash your scalp before your next appointment in order for the technician to be able to assess the results of the previous treatment. Keep in mind that you should use a mild shampoo and avoid scrubbing your scalp too vigorously.
Maintain Follow Up Care With A Professional
When it comes to scalp micropigmentation, touch-up maintenance is key. While the initial treatment can provide dramatic results, over time the pigments will begin to fade. Trusting a professional to do your micropigmentatio touch-ups is important for several reasons.
First and foremost, it is a delicate procedure that requires skill and experience in order to achieve the best results. Secondly, the pigments used in scalp micropigmentation are specifically formulated for use on the scalp, and only qualified professionals have access to these products. So if you are considering scalp micropigmentation, be sure to trust a qualified professional artist to do the job.
Long-Term SMP Aftercare Maintenance
Aftercare is not only essential in the immediate aftermath of your treatment, but also in the long term. After the initial healing period, you will need to maintain your results with regular touch-ups. Touch-ups are typically needed every one to three years, depending on your skin type and lifestyle. To prolong the life of your treatment, you should also avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen with a high SPF when outdoors. In addition, avoid any activities that could cause trauma to the scalp, such as contact sports. By keeping up with your maintenance appointments, you can enjoy incredible results from scalp micropigmentation.
