Whether you’ve recently undergone scalp micropigmentation or are considering it, prioritizing proper aftercare is pivotal for achieving enduring and satisfactory outcomes. At New Man SMP, located at 7342 Stonecrest Concourse Suite D422, Lithonia, GA 30038, our dedicated owner, Damian Holmes, a renowned SMP artist, emphasizes the significance of aftercare in fostering a successful and comfortable healing journey within the vibrant Atlanta community.
Days 1-4: Nurturing the Delicate Phase
In the initial four days post-treatment, maintaining a dry scalp is imperative. Abstain from water exposure and minimize sweat contact to support the healing process. To stay cool, utilize a fan or air conditioning, all the while being cautious not to inadvertently touch your scalp. While some itching may occur, it’s crucial to resist scratching, as it could compromise the treatment’s effectiveness. During this phase, donning loose-fitting, soft hats offers additional protection for your scalp.
Days 5-7: Continuing with Gentle Care
In the subsequent days, avoid rigorous exercise and excessive sweating. Refrain from massaging your scalp, which can trigger inflammation and potential complications. Opt for shampoos and soaps devoid of harsh chemicals, as these substances can interfere with pigmentation and elevate the risk of infection.
Days 8-14: Exercising Caution and Tenderness
As scabbing becomes apparent, handle your scalp with utmost care to prevent disruption. Refrain from any contact or picking, as these actions could compromise pigment retention and the healing process. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer, as recommended by your skilled scalp micropigmentation artist. Vigilance is key, as excessive moisturization might hinder the healing process. If necessary, a gentle shave or trim can be undertaken. To cleanse your scalp, use fragrance-free, antibacterial soap with clean water.
Day 15: Embracing Progress and Routine
At this juncture, your scalp should be sufficiently healed, enabling you to resume your daily activities while anticipating your next session.
Sustained Aftercare: Safeguarding Your Investment
To preserve your optimal results, remain mindful of sun exposure. Direct sunlight and artificial light should be minimized, especially after swimming in chlorinated pools or indulging in tanning. Thoroughly wash your hair after such activities to eliminate chlorine residues. In terms of regular hair care, adhere to your customary routine, but abstain from alcohol-based products and direct application of Alpha-Hydroxy Acids on the scalp.
A triumphant scalp micropigmentation experience hinges on diligent post-care efforts. Skipping this vital phase may heighten infection risk and prematurely fade the pigment. At New Man SMP, we are dedicated to your well-being, extending our support throughout every phase.
