Days 1-4 after your session:
- Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Avoid washing your scalp for the first 3-4 days after the procedure. Keep it dry and clean to allow the pigment to settle.
- Avoid Sweating & Sun Exposure: Refrain from activities that may cause sweating, and avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week. UV rays can fade the pigment, so wearing a hat when outdoors is recommended.
- Avoid Swimming and Steam Rooms: Refrain from swimming in pools, hot tubs, or exposing your scalp to steam rooms and saunas for at least 30 days, as moisture and chlorine can affect healing.
- No Touching or Scratching: Avoid touching, scratching, or picking at your scalp to prevent irritation and potential infection.
Day 5 after your session:
- Gentle Washing: On Day 5, you can gently wash your scalp with a mild, fragrance-free shampoo. Use lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing the area
- Moisturize Carefully: From day 5 onwards, you can apply a light, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the scalp hydrated. Avoid heavy or greasy products that can clog pores.
- Avoid Haircuts and Shaving: Avoid shaving or cutting your hair for at least 10 days. When you do shave, use an electric shaver rather than a razor to avoid irritating the scalp.
- Follow Up Appointments: Attend all recommended follow-up sessions to ensure the best results and make any necessary touch-ups.
- Long-term Care: After the initial healing period, protect your scalp from the sun with sunscreen or a hat, and use gentle products to maintain the pigmentation.
REDNESS & SWELLING: A slight amount of swelling and redness is typical for a fresh tattoo and should subside within a few days.
