Proper aftercare ensures the best possible results from your scalp micropigmentation treatment. Following these guidelines helps the pigment heal properly and maintain long-lasting, natural results.

• Keep your scalp completely dry. Do not wash or rinse the area.
   
• Avoid sweating or intense physical activity.
   
• Do not touch, rub, or scratch the treated area.
   
• Avoid wearing tight hats or head coverings when possible.
   

• You may begin gently washing your scalp using lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free shampoo.
   
• Pat dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing the scalp.
   
• Continue avoiding heavy exercise, swimming pools, saunas, and steam rooms.
   

• Light workouts may resume.
   
• Continue to avoid environments with excessive moisture or heat such as hot tubs, steam rooms, and saunas.
   

Avoid direct sun exposure during the healing process. After healing, applying SPF 30 or higher to the scalp helps preserve the pigment and maintain your results.

Scalp micropigmentation is designed to provide long-lasting results. With proper care, results typically last 8–10 years. To keep the pigmentation looking fresh and maintain your desired density, optional touch-up sessions can be done periodically during that time.
