SMP AFTER CARE
SCALP PRE-CARE
Before commencement of your first Scalp Micro Pigmentation treatment, We highly recommend eating a meal prior to the session. Also clients are encouraged to bring a snack and a beverage. We also provide shaving or hair cutting in house. Please arrive 10 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 Micro Pigmentation Journey!
SCALP AFTER-CARE
During the first four 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. Also take care that the shower is not hot enough to cause sweating.Refrain from sauna’s, swimming pools and any excessive sunlight for 28 days after your last treatment. After 28 days you may start to use sunblock and follow long term aftercare procedures.
LONGTERM AFTER-CARE
Long term aftercare rule #1 use spf sunblock. If you are out in the sun for extended periods of time please reapply throughout the day accordingly. Unprotected exposure to the sun can and will cause unnecessary and early fading issues. Be vigilant and protect your treatment. We highly recommend using Xotics Sweet Jamilla on your scalp so the skin stays vibrant. After 28 days of your treatment you can swim in chlorinated pools without any issues. If you stick to these basic guidelines you will prolong the life of your treatment.
