Scalp Micro Pigmentation Aftercare

Pre-treatment:

One of the biggest issues after any hair restoration treatment is not knowing what you can do to make sure that you are taking the best care of the area. If you have had an SMP treatment and you are not sure what you should be doing to care for it afterwards, the information below will help.

Will this help with fading?

Yes, these instructions will help with fading. However, you need to know that fading is common and expected. These guidelines will only help prolong your best result for as long as possible.

It is the best practice to shave your head before your treatment. These are the reasons why:

  • It will reduce the shock loss.
  • It is better to see any and all imperfections that will need to be covered with the treatment.
  • If you suffer from dry skin, you will be able to treat the dry skin before the treatment begins.
  • If you have a tan or a sunburn, you will be able to give your scalp time to even out the contrast in colour.

Moisturising

The most important thing is moisturising. You will get a better result if you do this at least 3-4 times a day for 2 to 3 days before your treatment. This will help give your SMP specialist a better canvas to work on without any dry spots to slow down the result.

After Each Session:

It is important that you follow all of the post-op instructions that the Toronto Hair Transplant Clinic has provided for you. The after-care of your SMP treatment will ultimately lead to a better result for you.

  • Do not wash your head for 3 days following the treatment.
  • Take a break from the gym, saunas, beaches, or other places where you might sweat.
  • On Day 4, you can use water to wash your scalp and start to moisturise.
  • A gentle facial cleanser is recommended for cleaning the scalp after a week.
  • Sunbathing, exfoliating, or heavy sweating should be avoided for roughly 1 month after the final treatment.

You can return to all regular activities after 1 month post-treatment.
