Standard SMP Aftercare Instructions:
Congratulations on completing your first SMP (Scalp Micro-pigmentation) treatment!
We hope you love your new hairline. Here’s some advice on how to ensure your SMP heals correctly.
48hrs after your procedure you can wash the treated area with the supplies 5PM Shadow Cleanse Soap. Wash with daily for best results.
72hrs after your procedure you can resume light weight exercises but limit cardio exercises because you want to limit sweating so the treatment does not lighten up.
7 days after you can use the supplied 5PM Shadow Hydrate. For best results use this daily in between your Scalp Micro-pigmentation treatments so the skin stays hydrated. If you skin is dry it make the process exponentially more difficult for your SMP(Scalp Micro-pigmentation) technicians. So continuing to use hydrate is essential for best results and a smooth treatment process.
Avoid direct intense sunlight for 28 days. Light morning sun is ok but limit to 20 minutes max per day.
Avoid any activities that can cause excessive sweating for the first 4 days and try to limit the use of hats within reason for the first 48hrs after your procedure. You need to let’s the skin breathe as much as possible. If you do need to wear a hat wear a netted trucker style snap back hat.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the After care or process you can contact me directly via call or text at 1-916-793-5404.
