Short-Term Care
Immediately after treatment, your scalp will need time to heal. Similar to any medical procedure, you need to take it easy by not interfering with your body’s recovery process. The scalp will form tiny scabs where the needle pierced the skin. Under no circumstances should you touch, pick at, or disturb your scalp while your body mends these small wounds.
Long-Term Care
For Long-Term Care, keep the following in mind:
Signs and symptoms of infection include, but are not limited to, severe redness, swelling, tenderness of the procedure site, red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, elevated body temperature, or pus drainage from the procedure site. Discharge from site may be green/yellow in color and foul in odor. If any signs or symptoms of infection or swelling develop, please contact and consult your technician (contact information shown below) or contact your healthcare provider and/or seek medical attention immediately if you believe you may have a medical emergency.

- You must wait three days before washing or touching the scalp after a treatment.
- Prevent your body from sweating during this time by resting. Do not exercise, sit in the sun, or perform any activity that may cause you to sweat.
- By the 4thday, you can use water to rinse your scalp. Do not use any shampoo or other soaps to clean the area.
- If you are planning on having another treatment, begin moisturizing the scalp at this time.
- After 7 days, you can clean the treated area. We recommend washing the scalp with a gentle facial cleanser.
- During the first 30 days, it is critical that you avoid exposure to UV rays, intense sweating, or any damage to the scalp while your micropigmentation sets.
Long-Term Care
For Long-Term Care, keep the following in mind:
- Continue to avoid direct exposure to intense sunlight, and protect yourself from UV rays. This will help the treatment from “fading” and will give you better results for a longer period of time.
- Do not use products that contain alcohol as a quick drying agent. Specifically, look out for SD alcohol, denatured alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol high on the list of ingredients.
- Always moisturize your scalp at least once per day.
- Remove dead skin cells by using an exfoliating cleanser to keep your scalp looking great.
