Ensure the Success of Your Scalp Micropigmentation with GOOD Aftercare

Scalp micropigmentation demands both pre and post-treatment care to optimize results. This page provides essential guidance on pre and post-treatment care, vital for achieving the best outcomes in the shortest time frame possible.

For those utilizing hairpieces or wigs, despite their modern quality and skin-friendly attributes, it’s essential to acknowledge the possibility of skin flakiness or excessive trauma. To counteract this, we strongly recommend skin preparation before undergoing tricopigmentation. Consult your dermatologist to ready your skin for the procedure. Below, discover the recommended daily aftercare routines, applicable to all scenarios.

PREPARING FOR SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION

In general the following recommendations apply:

  1. Do not fix the prosthesis / hair piece with glue for one month prior to treatment
  2. If you wish to keep wearing the hairpiece during this period, it could be worn during the day and taken off at night.
  3. When the hairpiece is not worn, a pharmacological treatment recommended by your doctor should be applied. This treatment often involves an ointment with 1% cortisone content.

After a month of following these guidelines the skin will have regenerated and will be ready for your Scalp Micropigmentation.

USEFUL INFORMATION

The duration of the scalp micropigmentation process is tailored to each individual and can range from several hours to a few days. Common after-effects such as redness and itching are to be expected and are considered normal reactions following the treatment. It’s imperative to consistently shield your scalp from the sun’s rays using a high protection factor of at least SPF 50.

A touch-up appointment is recommended after 30 days, with certain cases, such as scar camouflaging, necessitating a touch-up after 60 days. To ensure the longevity of your results, an evaluation appointment is advised after 6 months, aiding in the establishment of an effective annual maintenance plan. Your adherence to these instructions is very important in achieving the the best outcome from your scalp micropigmentation treatment.
