SMP HEALING PROCESS
A few important things to know about healing SMP:
-
Avoid heavy exercise and excessive sweating for 72 hours after procedure.
-
You can rinse your head later in the day after the procedure, and wash with shampoo 3-4 days later.
-
No submersion in water (lake, pool, bath, ocean, etc) for a week.
-
Try to stay out of direct sun for about a week, especially if you have just had a new hairline tattooed.
-
No steam rooms or saunas for a week.
-
NO PICKING AT SCABS if you see them. They will be very small dots, like sand or dust, but let them come of naturally. This usually only takes a few days.
-
After one week, you may return to your normal routine!
The healing process, on average, lasts 4-10 days, and each following session is booked for 10-14 days after.
Immediately after procedure, scalp may be red and irritated, but should calm down within a day.
Please keep in mind you will not see the results you want after the first session!! The first session is the least noticeable, immediate different as we are spacing dots out farther so we can assess how you healed after first session and decide if we need to adjust the color or needle depth.
Better to be subtle with the first session so we can decide if we need to go darker and deeper, instead of ending up with large, blurry dots that are too dark or too close together!
