Skin After Care For Scalp Micropigmentation

Essential Skin After Care Tips for SMP

1. Keep Your Scalp Dry (Days 1-5)

For the first five days post-treatment, it's crucial to keep your scalp dry. This means:

• Avoid getting your scalp wet in the shower
• Don't engage in activities that cause excessive sweating
• Stay away from saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools

2. Gentle Cleansing (After Day 5)

After the initial healing period, you can start gently cleansing your scalp:

• Use a mild, fragrance-free soap or cleanser
• Pat dry with a clean towel - avoid rubbing
• Gradually introduce your regular shampoo routine

3. Sun Protection

Protecting your scalp from the sun is crucial for maintaining your SMP results:

• Wear a hat when outdoors for the first 5 days
• After day 5, apply a mineral-based sunscreen with high SPF
• Consider using Scalpliners' recommended sunscreen for optimal protection

4. Moisturize Regularly

Keeping your scalp moisturized is key to preventing dryness and flakiness:

• Use a gentle, non-greasy moisturizer
• Apply moisturizer every 8 hours or as needed
• Consider using a specialized SMP aftercare moisturizer for best results
