aftercare
for SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION
Proper care following your treatment is necessary to achieve the best results.
Please review the following instructions and refer to them as necessary.
If during the healing process, you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me.
DAILY CARE FOR UP TO 2 WEEKS
- Do not touch your scalp unnecessarily
- Do not wear hats, caps or helmets
- Keep the area CLEAN and DRY until fully healed.
- Do not allow the area to get wet in the bath/shower
- After 72 hours, you may wash your scalp using a gentle shampoo
- Take care when drying your scalp
- Do not shave your scalp (if applicable – restore only)
- Apply aftercare balm (if provided – restore only)
- No exercise, running or sweating
- No gym, swimming pools, hot tubs, steam rooms or saunas
- Do not pick, peel, scratch or rub the area. Allow all colour to flake away by itself
- No direct sun, tanning treatments (including self tanning) until fully healed
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- Healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised, if you are generally stressed and by poor diet. Please let me know if you are ill for more than a few days during the healing period so I can allow more time between your initial procedure and your follow up.
- Keep in mind that in many cases, during the two week aftercare period, some unevenness of colour is to be expected. Your enhancement will not be completed until you have attended all treatments set out in your treatment plan.
LONG TERM CARE:
- For those with a schaved scalp, use a mattifying SPF50 to protect your enhancement daily.
- Wear a hat in hot weather to avoid premature fading of your results. Sun exposure will fade your results prematurely.
- If you are planning a laser procedure or an MRI scan, please tell the technician that you have a cosmetic tattoo.
- Please inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you will not be eligible to give blood for 4 months.
