After care scalp micropigmentation?

Congratulations, you’ve done it! You’ve braved the needle, endured the pain of scalp micropigmentation, and emerged from the experience with a head full of beautifully-crafted dots. Now comes the easy part – taking care of your new look.

1. The First 24 Hours After

Your scalp has just been through an intense process; give it some love and attention within twenty-four hours after your scalp micropigmentation treatment. During this period:

  • Avoid water or sweat touching your freshly-micropigmented head
  • Avoid rubbing or scratching area(s) which may cause ink removal
  • No skincare products and avoid sun’s harmful UV rays for 72 hours.

2. Daily Routines

To maintain that fresh-from-the-shop look each day, you need to make sure you’re taking good care throughout those AM skincare sessions by doing these things as part of your daily routine:

  • Moisturize using recommended aftercare moisturizer/sunscreen
  • Stay away from chlorine pools for two weeks at least post-treatment
  • Be Gentle on Scalp while showering

3. Long-Term Maintenance

Just like anything else in life, to keep something looking great requires long-term commitment; here are some tips on keeping that beautiful SMP(Scalp Micro-Paint) healthy!

As impossible as it seems initially because when sun hits directly on everything we tend to put our eyeballs down but protecting SMP from sun damage builds stronger endurance against harsh environments which develop over time by lengthening its lifespan naturally without losing pigments due to UVA-A&B Rays present in natural sunlight although wear hats & scarf during peak summers days known for their lethal heat index or anytime in tropical countries whilst outdoors can reduce exposure significantly.

Avoid fragrance containing hair oils, tonics and shampoos as they might potentially trigger allergic reactions, increase sensitivity to ink residue on scalp over time making ink begone earlier than expected resulting into retouching sessions far frequently than planned. Instead go for fragrance-free essential oils like jojoba oil specifically known to improve the texture & hydration underlining SMP.

No matter how tempting it may seem or how much you love your heat tools, keep them away from your newly-micropigmented head of hair because heat styling can cause damage to the newly-implanted pigments which leads towards early fading and less sharpness.

Can we all agree that scratching feels amazing? Unfortunately, if you scratch at YOUR NEWLY DONE wow-worthy micropunk waves then you could start peeling off a whole section of those fabulous new dots without realizing it- so hands-off until healed completely.

#Hot Yoga Session Could Wait

While exercising is an integral part of our daily routine; taking hot yoga classes post-SMP treatment might expose your freshly-injected pigments to increased sweat build-up leading towards discoloration or even initial loss hence postponing such hardcore activities are best bet around two months after SMP session completing.

4. Knowing When It’s Time For A Touch-Up

Even with proper care given well maintaining SMP isn’t forever-lasting natural factors over periods affect differently upon us but one symptom slowly emerges towards retention becoming evident – FADING! Yeah…fading 🙁

Certain symptoms will vary depending on individual response and environment exposure but here are some signs indicating time in calling professional touch up service providers;

1) Faded Dots (naturally)- Sunshine sometimes fades us out
2) ‘Flaking’/Removing Pigment- generally occurs when scalp becomes dry
3) Ink changes color & loses texture

First, the maintenance and care taken after SMP treatment determine its decay speed but with recoloring sessions scheduled as needed (after living around 4-7 years) – you can continue rocking that effortless hairless look with ease!

Remember to schedule touch-up appointments every few years or sooner to keep your scalp micropigmentation looking sharp and shiny as ever.

Final Words

Little is more alluring than a well-maintained scalp micropigmentation creating an impeccable smooth aesthetic while putting everything from haircutting fees, maintaining shampoos, conditioners on hold because like…the results are endlessly fabulous!

So be sure to take proper care of your head’s new ink job and enjoy the attention it will undoubtedly bring for a long time to come.
