Standard SMP Aftercare Instructions

Congratulations on completing your first SMP (Scalp Micro-pigmentation) treatment!

We hope you love your new hairline. Here’s some advice on how to ensure your SMP heals correctly.

48hrs after your procedure you can gently wash the treated area with lukewarm water.

72hrs after your procedure you can resume light weight exercises but limit cardio exercises because you want to limit sweating so the treatment does not lighten up.

7 days after you can use a gentle face moisturiser, For best results use daily in between your Scalp Micro-pigmentation treatments so the skin stays hydrated. If your skin is dry it can lower your retention rate and make the process exponentially more difficult for your SMP(Scalp Micro-pigmentation) technicians.

Avoid direct intense sunlight for 28 days. Light morning sun is ok but limit to 20 minutes max per day.

Avoid any activities that can cause excessive sweating for the first 4 days and try to limit the use of hats within reason for the first 48hrs after your procedure. You need to lets the skin breathe as much as possible during the healing process.

If you do need to wear a hat wear a netted trucker style snap back hat.
