Scalp Micropigmentation: Recovery and Prevention

The final stage of the scalp micropigmentation journey focuses on recovery and the long term prevention of pigment fading. Recovery in this context is quick and easy, as the procedure is non invasive and does not involve incisions. Prevention is about adopting simple habits to protect the pigment and ensure that the results remain sharp and realistic for as long as possible. At Liv Hospital, we provide the guidance needed to manage your new look and enjoy the lasting benefits of the procedure.

A successful recovery ensures that the pigment stays exactly where it was placed, while prevention focuses on protecting the scalp from environmental factors. By treating your scalp with care, you can maintain the confidence that comes with a full, groomed appearance. This phase is about enjoying your transformation and realizing that hair loss no longer has to be a source of stress in your life.

The timeline of scalp recovery

hair-transplant
  • Recovery is a straightforward process that takes just a few days after each session.

    • Day 1 to 3: The scalp may be slightly red or sensitive; avoid touching or washing the area.
    • Day 4 to 7: The redness fades, and the pigment starts to look more natural as it settles into the skin.
    • After 1 week: You can return to a more normal washing and grooming routine.
    • Complete healing usually occurs within two weeks of the final session

Preventing pigment fading

  • To keep your results looking fresh, it is important to protect the scalp from certain elements.

    • Always use sunscreen or wear a hat when in direct sunlight for long periods.
    • Avoid using products with high alcohol content or strong chemicals on the scalp.
    • Stay hydrated to keep your skin healthy, which helps in pigment retention.
    • Avoid excessive scrubbing or exfoliating the area where the pigment is located.

Maintaining your grooming routine

One of the benefits of scalp micropigmentation is the simplicity it adds to your life.

  • For those with total hair loss, a regular shave once or twice a week keeps the look sharp.
  • For those with thinning hair, regular haircuts help the pigment and natural hair blend perfectly.
  • Using a gentle moisturizer can help keep the scalp looking healthy and vibrant.
  • The maintenance is minimal compared to other hair restoration options.

Long term satisfaction and support

Enjoying the results of your procedure is the ultimate goal.

  • Feeling more confident in social and professional situations.
  • Enjoying the freedom of not having to worry about wind, rain, or bright lights.
  • Staying in touch with the team at Liv Hospital for any future touch up needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the most important thing to do during recovery?
The most important thing is to keep your scalp dry and avoid sweating for the first few days. This allows the tiny dots of pigment to stay in place and heal correctly for the best result.

Using a high-quality sunscreen or wearing a hat is the best way to prevent the sun from fading the pigment over time. Protecting your scalp ensures the color stays vibrant for years.

 After the initial healing period of about one week, you can return to using gentle shampoos. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals or exfoliants directly on the pigmented areas.

 Initially, the color may appear darker, but as the skin heals, it softens and settles into the final, natural shade. Our pigments are designed to stay true to their color and not turn blue or green.

Most people enjoy their results for three to five years before noticing any slight fading. A simple touch-up session at that time can easily restore the original sharpness and density of the look.
