So, you’ve decided to go for scalp micropigmentation after watching a YouTube video about it. While your favorite influencer might be raving about it and receiving hundreds of compliments, you’re still on edge whether you should go for it or not. One of the main reasons why people avoid Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is because they believe that the aftercare requires too much effort. But that’s not true. If you’re planning to go for a treatment, here are a couple of things you will need to do to maintain your SMP: 1. Avoid Showers This may sound like a bit too much but please hear us out! You need to avoid washing your head for at least four days after a session. You need to make sure your head is dry. If you experience any itching or irritation during this time, just know that’s completely normal and will go away. After four days, you can use a mild shampoo that doesn’t have harsh chemicals. Use warm water to wash your head. We recommend avoiding shampoos that are for anti-dandruff purposes. 2. Avoid Touching the Treated Area Yes, we understand that the temptation and urge to touch the treated area is difficult to manage. However, your scalp will be extra sensitive during the healing process. Using your bare hands can lead to infections so make sure to avoid it at all costs. Furthermore, you can wear a hat or beanie but make sure it doesn’t irritate your scalp. 3. Avoid Working Out Yes, workouts are fun and good for you but excessive sweating isn’t after a treatment. Don’t worry. This doesn’t mean you can’t exercise or hit the gym anymore. It simply means avoiding working out for a few days; usually a week. If you do sweat, use a paper towel to gently pat the area so that the towel absorbs all the moisture. 4. Avoid Saunas Avoid swimming pools and saunas because you can’t get the area wet. You need to be extra careful because swimming pools have chlorinated water and saunas make you sweat excessively. 5. Avoid the Sun’s Rays This doesn’t mean you can’t go outdoors. You need to avoid excessive exposure to the sun’s UV rays. If you go for tanning sessions, you will need to avoid them for at least a month. Use an SPF sunscreen that will protect your scalp. These are a few general tips for aftercare. To learn more, make sure you talk to an expert in detail.
