Scalp Micropigmentation Aftercare: Protecting Your Investment for Exceptional Results
Congratulations on taking the first step toward a fuller, more confident appearance with scalp micropigmentation (SMP). Proper aftercare is essential to preserving your stunning new look and ensuring long-lasting results. At ElevateYourScottsdale, we emphasize the importance of safeguarding your SMP investment by following these professional guidelines.
Recommended Aftercare Products
For optimal healing and maintenance, we highly recommend the Scalp Guru Professional Aftercare box, which includes a specialized Scalp Cleansing Wash and a Scalp Moisturizer designed specifically for SMP treatments. These products help:
- Minimize Flaking & Shine: The cleansing wash aids in gently healing the treated area while reducing dryness and unwanted scalp shine.
- Condition & Protect: The moisturizer nourishes and protects the scalp, enhancing your SMP results and maintaining a natural, matte finish.
- Safe & Cruelty-Free Formulation: Free from SLS, parabens, and mineral oil, these cruelty-free products are gentle on your skin and the environment. Convenient pump bottles make application quick and effortless.
First Month Post-Treatment
- Avoid chlorinated pools, saunas, steam rooms, and tanning beds for at least 28 days following your final SMP session. This ensures proper settling of pigments and prevents any unnecessary fading or irritation.
Days 1–4 After Your SMP Session
Avoid:
- Intense sweating (heavy exercise)
- Rinsing, scrubbing, or shampooing the treated area
- Shaving over the pigmented region
- Extended sun exposure without protection
- Touching the scalp with hands
You Can:
- Wear a hat or skullcap for protection
- Lightly dab the area with a damp cloth (no soaking)
- Stay well-hydrated
- Take prescribed medications as directed
- Sleep in any comfortable position
Days 5–7 Until Your Follow-Up Treatment
Avoid:
- Scratching the scalp or picking at tiny scabs
- Using self-tanners, harsh chemicals, or skin irritants
- Applying shampoos or exfoliants that could disrupt healing
You Can:
- Carefully shave or trim hair without disturbing the treated area
- Gently rinse with water
