Scalp Micropigmentation

---

1. Wash your scalp with a non-abrasive, gentle shampoo the week prior to the procedure.
2. If experiencing breakouts on your scalp we are not a medical establishment so we are not allowed to suggest what to use for any problems or disorders. Instead consult with a dermatologist or appropriate medical doctor to resolve this issue prior to your procedure.
3. After washing the scalp, moisturize the skin with some form of skin moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Doing so will allow the ink to be properly absorbed.
4. Refrain from sun tanning to avoid burning and peeling of the skin.
5. Focus on relaxing and get a good night’s rest before your procedure.
6. Eat a hearty meal before your procedure. Do not drink alcohol 24 hours prior to procedure.
7. If you are extremely sensitive to pain, seek medical advice prior to procedure.
8. You may bring a clean hat or scarf to loosely cover your head after the treatment, if so desired, but not recommended.
9. If you already shave your hair, please shave (using a clipper) the night before or the morning of the treatment. Make sure to wash your scalp afterwards and before coming in. Avoid using razors immediately before a treatment
10. If you have medium to longer hair, please wash out all topical fibers and hair products prior to coming in for your treatment.
11. Hair Piece – Please do not wear a hair piece at least 5-7 days prior to your scheduled procedure. As wearing a hair piece may limit oxygen flow to the scalp and the ink may not be fully absorbed into the follicle

We schedule 2-3 treatment sessions in advance, depending on your individual requirements. Each session lasts on average about 2-4 hours and is scheduled a minimum of 10 days apart. The third session can sometimes be optional depending on the client and the desired result. As always, we will do our best to work around your availability. Your PMU artist will fully customize your treatment, with input on hairline design, style preferences, and final goals. When you leave our studio after your first session, you will see an immediate difference and a full look appearing. You will notice some fading after the first treatment, which is completely normal. We need the second and third session to complete the look of a full buzz cut. We will provide you with optimal aftercare guidelines you’ll need to follow until we see you again for your second session about 10-14 days later.

During 2nd & 3rd session we dramatically increase your replicated hair density to create the appearance of fullness and eradicate any sign of hair loss. We spend a lot of time blending your pigmented areas into your real hair for a perfectly seamless finish. We can make minor adjustments to the hairline in this session as well.

Depending on your progress, we will do one of the following: 

• Schedule your third session for about 10 days later
• Review your treatment after a month to establish how the treatment looks

Declare your treatment complete

If a third session is required, this is usually because your pigment retention rate has varied and we still need to fill in some areas of the head. This is common and is remedied during your third (and usually final) session. This is also an opportunity to make tweaks or hairline adjustments. 

You must wait 4 weeks until your next session. It may take multiple sessions to achieve the final look.

Here’s what to do in order for your scalp to heal properly:

‌

• Keep the area dry for 24 hours
• When showering wash gently using your hands only and pat dry
• Do not soak your scalp in water
• Do not pick your scab, let it heal and fall off naturally
• Do not apply any creams or makeup
• Once the scalp is completely healed, rub vitamin E into the skin once daily
