Breaking Down the Process: What to Expect During SMP Removal

The journey to restoring your natural aesthetic can take many turns, and sometimes, it involves the decision to remove existing scalp micropigmentation (SMP). At Scalp Micro Pro, we realize that this can be a daunting process, but we're here to ensure you understand every step. This article breaks down what you can expect during SMP removal, guiding you through this transformative journey.


Laying the Groundwork: Pre-Procedure Guidelines


Before leaping into the SMP removal process, we'll help you lay the necessary groundwork. At Scalp Micro Pro , we always ensure that our clients understand the pre-procedure guidelines.


Sun Protection: First and foremost, avoid exposing the region set for treatment to sunlight. The sun's harsh rays can cause changes to your skin that may affect the outcome of the treatment.


Skincare Regimen Adjustment: Consider modifying your skincare routine before the procedure. Eliminate the use of retinoids or exfoliants on the skin as these can increase sensitivity and potentially lead to complications.


Medical Information Disclosure: Open communication is critical for a successful procedure. Please inform your technician about any medications you're taking or any pre-existing skin conditions that could impact the process.


Feel the Change: The Removal Process


Now that you've prepared yourself, let's dissect what happens during the SMP removal process.


We use cutting-edge laser technology specifically designed for SMP removal . The lasers emit pinpointed light waves absorbed by the skin pigment, causing it to fragment and fade gradually. The process is as much science as it is art, and our experienced technicians are skilled in controlling the laser application, ensuring the surrounding skin remains protected.


The procedure is typically carried out over multiple sessions, each varying in length based on the size and complexity of the SMP being removed. Generally, most sessions last between 20 minutes to an hour, and the pigment fades more with each successive session.


After the Storm: Post-Procedure Guidelines


After the procedure, it's essential to follow specified post-procedure guidelines to promote proper healing and avoid complications.


Hygiene Maintenance: Always keep the treated area clean. Gently wash it with mild soap and water. Avoid applying makeup or skincare products until the area is fully healed.


Temperature and Activity Management: Minimize irritation and sweating by steering clear of heat, saunas, and intense activities. Cool environments are your friends during this healing period.


Topical Treatments: Apply recommended ointments or creams to aid healing. Avoid the temptation to scratch or rub the area, as this can cause unnecessary complications. Adherence to these guidelines will ensure a swift and smooth recovery.


The Healing Touch: Saying Goodbye to SMP


The entire SMP removal journey is a transformative one. It's a decision to redefine your aesthetic, regain control of your image, and explore new beginnings. Embarking on this journey can be a monumental step and understanding the process, from the pre-procedure groundwork to the post-procedure care, can make a world of difference.
