You’re not happy with the way your hair looks. You decided to research the Scalp Micropigmentation procedure, which probably took many hours, days, weeks and months of your life. You spent time having a consultation and three different treatment sessions. You have also spent hard earned money having the procedure .When someone makes the decision to have the Scalp Micropigmentation procedure performed, we hope they know the procedure is an investment. When you make an investment, such as buying a new house or car, you’re going to keep up with the maintenance to ensure you’re not constantly pumping money into it on improvements. Our advice – treat your SMP treatments as an investment!
As I have mentioned in previous blogs, you will only require a top up approximately every four to six years. If you do not take the pre-cautions laid out, such as how you need to shave your head with an electric / foil shaver, after you have had the procedure, you may experience fading sooner than the time frame provided. This means paying more money for an early top up. We obviously do not want to see this happen and let you know how to take care / maintain it.
When clients have the Scalp Micropigmentation procedure performed at Ultra Scalp Ink, we email and text them the following after care instructions:
