    HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SCALP, DAY 1 & 2

    During those first 48 hours the treated area can ONLY be cleansed with the antiseptic wipes provided to you.  No water or other cleansers of any kind can be used for any reason.

    IMPORTANT

    It is normal to be excited about your new SMP; however do not touch, pick, peel, tamper, scratch, rub, injure or remove the peeling in any way, you will damage the color and affect the retention. Let the skin naturally go through the healing and recovery process.  

    It is normal because of the skins natural healing and regeneration process for clients to experience color loss or what appears to be color loss, causing it to look uneven or even disappear all together in some areas. This is the reason we require a minimum of two treatments so we can ensure the best possible results, make any minor changes and pigment the area slowly for the most natural results.

    DURING THE NEXT 5 DAYS

    Abstain from any physical activity. Do not let any sweat, water, lotion, soap, or makeup touch the treated area. You may apply a thin layer of ointment when showering or washing your face to protect the area from steam and moisture.

    DURING THE NEXT 14+ DAYS

    NO hot sauna, swimming pool, ocean, sun tanning, tanning salons, vaseline, Neosporin, or any other petroleum based products.

    DO NOT expose the area to unsanitary or dirty conditions.  

    30 DAYS

    Do not use products containing alcohol or products that contain glycolic, lactose, or fruit acids and avoid salt or saline on the treatment area.

    Avoid any prolonged sun exposure. After 30 days your scalp is healed and you should begin to always apply SPF 30 on the tattooed area.
