To ensure the best results and a comfortable experience during your scalp micropigmentation (SMP) treatment, please follow these preparation steps:
1. Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners
Why? Alcohol and medications like aspirin can thin your blood, leading to increased bleeding, which affects the pigment application.
What to do:
- Do not consume alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
- Refrain from taking non-essential blood-thinning medications. If you’re on prescribed medication, consult your doctor beforehand.
2. Wash Your Hair Thoroughly and Avoid Styling Products
Why? A clean scalp ensures the best conditions for treatment, while styling products can create a barrier or interfere with the needles and pigment.
What to do:
- Wash your hair thoroughly starting three days before your appointment.
- Avoid using any hairstyling products such as gels, waxes, or sprays on the day of the treatment.
3. Dress Comfortably for the Season
Why? Treatments take place while you lie down for several hours, so comfort is key.
What to do:
- In colder months, wear warm and loose-fitting clothing.
- Avoid anything tight around your neck that might rub against your scalp post-treatment.
4. Bring Entertainment
Why? Staying occupied helps pass the time while you’re lying down.
What to do:
- Bring Bluetooth headphones or earbuds.
- Prepare music playlists, audiobooks, podcasts, or shows/movies to stream on your device.
5. Ask Questions if You Have Them
Why? It’s important that you feel informed and confident about the procedure.
What to do:
- Feel free to ask any questions before or during the appointment.
6. Have Payment Ready
Why? Having payment prepared ahead of time allows us to focus solely on your treatment.
What to do:
- Ensure the payment is ready before the appointment.
7. Be On Time
Why? Arriving on time ensures we have sufficient time to complete your treatment without rushing.
What to do:
- Plan ahead and account for traffic or delays.
- Arrive a few minutes early to settle in comfortably.
