FAQS

PRE CARE

Do Not use a razor on your scalp within 24 hours of the scheduled procedure. It is critical that we see all natural hair in order to properly blend the hair follicles. 

• 7 days before your first session, exfoliate your scalp in the shower and then once again 48 hours before your first session. Use an exfoliator brush. I recommend the Earth Dry Brush.

• Scrub your scalp with the brush and soap in circular motions removing any dead skin, then rinse with warm water and moisturize.

• I recommend Aveeno.

• Moisturize your scalp a minimum of 2-3 times daily.

• Drink a full 64oz of water daily to hydrate your skin.

• Do Not take Fish Oil or Aspirin 1 week before unless prescribed by a doctor.

• Do Not tan. Avoid direct sunlight to avoid burning and peeling of the skin.  

• Do Not drink alcohol or consume drugs 48 hours before your procedure. 

POST CARE

Congratulations on completing your first session of Scalp Micropigmentation.

I hope you love your new natural hairline and I hope your confidence and happiness is already through the roof.

Follow these instructions to ensure your Scalp Micropigmentation heals properly.

• Wait a full 24 hours after your session while the skin begins the healing phase.

• On the next day apply a very thin light coat of the supplied Membrane Microbalm ointment morning and night for the next 3 days.

• You can lightly and gently wipe off any excess balm with the supplied Membrane Microtonic and a soft cotton round at night before bed.

• Then after 4 days on day 5 you can very gently wash the treated area with the supplied organic bar of soap. Cleanse very gently with a very light lather then rinse with warm water and then remove your scalp from under the shower.

Do that daily for the best results.

On day 6 you can resume light weight exercising but limit any heavy cardio so you don’t excessively sweat. Remember as I said above sweat contains a lot of salt and it can pull and lighten pigment so wait at least 5-6 days.

Continue to use the supplied Membrane Microbalm with a very thin light coat and the supplied “Cleanse” bar soap with a gentle light lather daily for the best results until your next Scalp Micropigmentation session, so the skin stays healthy and hydrated. With dry skin it makes scalp micropigmentation more difficult as the impressions will lighten as dry skin exfoliates off.
If you have a problem with very dry skin you can also use the Aveeno all natural unscented moisturizer.

Completely avoid direct intense sunlight unprotected for long periods of time for 30 days.
If you are in the sun for long periods of time, wear a hat or apply a coat of SPF 50 sunscreen. I recommend Coppertone Sport OR the Alumier Sunscreen we have here!

Light morning sun is ok but please limit it to 20 minutes maximum per day for the first 30 days.

Avoid any activities that can cause any heavy excessive sweating for the first 6 days and try to limit the use of hats for the first 6 days as well after your procedure. The skin needs to breathe and be oxygenated as much as possible to heal properly. If you do need to wear a hat during the first 6 days, wear a mesh snap back hat so your scalp can still breathe.

Avoid chlorinated pools, saunas, and steam rooms for 28-30 days as this can effect the healing and settling of the skin and pigment. Beaches with freshwater lakes are fine after the initial healing phase.

If you have any questions or concerns at all regarding any aftercare instructions, please contact me directly with a call or text at 905-869-4379.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in pigment loss and fading beyond normal so please follow them exactly.
