SMP PRECARE

• MEN: DO NOT use any razors or trimmers on the scalp the day of your appointment! Trim your hair using a “0 guard” 24 hrs before your scheduled appointment date unless otherwise instructed.

• Wash your scalp with gentle shampoo the day before coming to your appointment for a clean surface.

• Do not use exfoliators on your scalp!

• If you were previously instructed, apply a gentle non-fragment moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.

• Avoid any tanning/tanning oils/excess sunlight that would cause burning or peeling of your skin. Please reschedule if you have sunburn on your scalp.

• Focus on relaxing and getting a good night’s rest the night before the procedure.

• Eat a hearty and healthy meal before your procedure (sessions are 3-4 hours long).

• You can bring a clean hat or scarf to loosely cover your head after the procedure.

• Clients who use a hair piece, do not apply 5-7 days prior to your scheduled procedure.

• Coffee, tea , alcohol, pain killers, blood thinners and certain vitamins and/or supplements act as an anti-coagulant (blood thinner) which may result in poor retention. Please consult with your physician re: medication.

• No working out 24-48 hours prior to your appointment.

SMP AFTERCARE

• For 5-7 days (until the area is completely healed). Follow these instructions very closely. Failure to do so may result in color loss or infection.

• Do not touch the healing pigmented area with your fingers, which may have bacteria on them and create an infection.

• Do not wash the pigmented area for 3 days.

• After 4 days, it is suggested to use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo. If you need a recommendation, please let your artist know.

• Apply the supplied aftercare moisturizer 2-4 times daily until the procedure area is healed.

• No make-up, sun, sauna, soap, jacuzzi, swimming, contact with animals until the area is completely healed.

• Do not use products that contain AHA’s (anti-aging creams) on the procedure area. Other examples: glycolic acid, lactic acid, etc.). Always check your labeling.

• Before bathing, gently apply a light coating of organic moisturizer on the procedure area using a clean cotton swab. Continue this regiment until the procedure area is healed.

• You may cover your scalp with a loose cap or scarf, but it is not recommended. For best results, leave the scalp uncovered until fully healed.

• No working out at least 7-10 days after your session for best results.

Depending on the severity of the hair loss/hair thinning areas, it can take up to 3 sessions to complete your treatment.
