Scalp Micropigmentation. Preparation & aftercare guide.

PRE-TREATMENT

In the week before your 1st session you should:

  • Moisturize your scalp to ensure it is in the best condition
  • Remove hair system to get fresh air to the scalp

On the day of your treatment:

  • Wash hair to remove any hair fibres, hair thickening spray, gels, moisturiser
  • Shave your head with clippers, shaver or a razor
  • Pain Relief: paracetamol, taken around twenty minutes to half an hour pre-treatment session
  • Do not drink coffee, tea (black/green), alcohol on the day of treatment (they are working as a blood thinner)
  • Bring a cap to wear it after the treatment

AFTERCARE

For 4 days after each treatment you should:

  • Try to avoid excess sweating
  • Avoid showering your head
  • Do not shave your head
  • Do not use moisturizer
  • Avoid touching your head

For 21 days after each treatment you should:

  • Not going swimming
  • Do not use Sauna or Steam room
  • Avoid exposing your scalp to sunlight

After 4 days have passed you can:

  • Shave your head
  • Have a light shower on your head, using shampoo
  • Start using moisturizer on your scalp to keep it in good condition and to avoid it getting dry

After 21 days have passed you can:

  • Go swimming
  • Use saunas or steam rooms
  • Expose your scalp to sunlight but I do recommend that you use a high SPF like factor 50 to protect your skin.
