It’s possible to return to daily life right after hair micropigmentation. Because of its non-surgical nature, pain during and after the application is minimal at worst.
What should you do after hair micropigmentation?
- Places like saunas, solariums, or turkish baths that cause sweating should be avoided in the first 10 days. Sweating may cause losses in the ink used.
- Direct sunlight should be avoided and 50 spf sunscreen should be used while outside. This is important for both UV protection and preventing sweating.
- Because chlorine should be avoided in the first 10 days, you shouldn’t swim. Ink can be extracted from the body by chlorine.
- Moisturizers shouldn’t be applied to the application area. They can cause inks to come out.
- Water and soap should be avoided in the application area in the first 3 days after the application. Especially hot water should be kept from contact.
- Some scabbing or dryness might be observed in the first 7 days after the application due to lack of moisturizer use. These should be left alone.
- Hair shouldn’t be dyed in the first 3 weeks after the application.
- Shampoo that is recommended by the expert should be used after the application. If there is no recommendation, regular shampoo can be used.
- Hair shouldn’t be shaved on the first day after the application.
- Hats or berets shouldn’t be worn for long periods.
- There is no reason to take a leave after the application.
If this recommendation and rules are followed, the lifetime of hair micropigmentation will be greatly improved. Especially activities that will cause the ink to come out should be avoided in the first days after the application should be avoided. It is important to attend the check-up appointment 20-30 days after the application to see if any adjustments are needed.
It’s important to talk to people who have gotten the application done to have an idea about what the results can be. It’s also important to research about the inks and equipment used in the application, as well as the technician that will be doing it. Inks used in hair micropigmentation will affect the lifetime of the application and the skin health of the person. Expertise of the technician will affect the look and quality, and needles used will affect the chance of infections after the application.
What can be done if the results of hair micropigmentation are not satisfying?
Hair micropigmentation has a lifetime of 3-5 years. But if a person doesn’t want to wait this period, there are ways to remove the application. Laser or saline removal can be used to remove hair micropigmentation. It should be known that the removal process takes time and may cause pain. Hair micropigmentation can be redone after the removal process.
