Proper care following your enhancement is necessary to achieve the best results. Please review the following instructions and refer to them as necessary.

After each session, the scalp will need to heal so you cannot allow yourself to interfere with it at all for the next few days. There are scabs that form over each of the needle marks which remove small amounts of pigment when they heal up and flake off. Many people thinking of this as a ‘fading process’ but it isn’t exactly that.

The approximate healing period is 14 days, but this could be extended by factors such as stress, poor diet or lack of sleep. If you experience any signs of irritation, allergic reactions or infections, please contact us and seek medical attention immediately.

For the first 4 days:

  • Do not wash your head or face for at least 3 days. On day 4, you can use water (nothing else) to wash your scalp, and start moisturising.

After day 7:

  • Clean the scalp daily with a gentle facial cleanser.

For the first 2 weeks:

  • Do not expose the enhancement to direct sun, tanning treatments, jacuzzis, saunas, salt water, chlorinated pools or direct shower sprays.
  • No exercise or sweating as it secretes bodily salts which remove PMU.
  • Any abrasive activities (such as sunbathing, exfoliating or heavy sweating) should be avoided for a month after the final treatment.

Long-term care advice:

  • Inform the doctor of the permanent cosmetic enhancements if you have surgery or MRI scans coming up.
  • Inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you may not be eligible to give blood for 6 months post-treatment.
  • Use a high factor sun cream on the enhancement (minimum SPF30) to prolong the pigment colour. I highly recommend Tropics products.
  • Do not use cosmetics and other products that contain a high volume of alcohol in them.
  • Use an exfoliating cleanser followed by moisturiser as often as possible throughout the week.
