FAQS
Getting started with your care
You’ve paid for and attended treatment. While you’re free to do what you want when you walk out of the clinic, you’ll get the best results with proper care and need follow-up appointments less frequently.
For the best results, avoid exercise for one week after treatment. That’s because the sweat can irritate the skin, cause the pigment to fade, and impede proper healing.
Hats are an excellent tool for protecting your scalp from the sun and stopping you from excessive touching or itching.
You can wear a hat right after your treatment but look for a loose-fitting one. This stops fabric from constantly touching the pigment, making it fade faster or causing irritation.
Although people heal at different rates, mainly depending on how well you care for your scalp, it should be healed about two weeks after treatment. Keep an eye on it, and you can return to your regular routine when you’ve recovered.
You’ll also want to let your technician know how the healing has gone so far and schedule your next follow-up appointment.
Norwood Scale
7 Stages of Hair Loss
Stage 1
There are no signs of a receding hairline or bald spots in stage 1. It is often called the control stage, identified by a full head of hair.
Stage 2
Slight recession of the hair line can start to be seen around the temples. The initial signs of hair loss become apparent in this stage.
Stage 3
The first signs of significant hair loss or clinical balding are seen in this stage. The hairline recedes further into a U, M, or V shape.
Stage 3.5 (Vertex)
In this stage, the crown also starts to thin. In some cases, the crown may already have given way to a bald spot on the scalp (vertex).
Stage 4
Hair loss continues to progress more severely with little to no hair on the vertex. A strip of hair now separates the two areas of hair loss and connects to the hair on the sides of the head.
Stage 5
The receding hairline and the bald spot on the crown grow significantly larger. Compared to the strip of hair in stage 4, the hair between the two balding areas is much thinner.
Stage 6
The balding areas on the forefront and crown join together with no strip of hair connecting them. In this stage, a person is mostly bald, although there may be hair still on the sides of the head.
Stage 7
Hair loss is the most severe at stage 7. At this stage, only a thin band of hair encircles the sides of the head. Whatever hair is left may be sparse or very fine.
What Should I Do for Long-Term Care?
Once healed, your necessary scalp micropigmentation aftercare is primarily non-existent, and you can return to your routine from before treatment. However, the better you care for your skin in the long run, the more you can avoid fading and keep the color looking its best. Here are some tips for long term care.
• Don’t apply products with alcohol or alpha hydroxy acids directly to your head.
• Put on sunscreen before leaving the house.
• Protect your scalp from harsh lighting with hats.
• After leaving a chlorinated pool, thoroughly rinse to remove chemicals.
• Enjoy Your New Look
When you do your part to protect your scalp, you’ll get the best results from your treatment. So after just a few weeks and a few bottles of sunscreen later, you’ll have a healthy, pigmented head of hair to show off.
