Moisterise, Moisturise, Moisturise!!!

As your SMP practitioner, I need to emphasise something absolutely crucial: proper scalp preparation directly impacts your treatment's success. Just this week, I unfortunately had to pause a client's session because they hadn't followed the pre-treatment protocols. This wasn't a decision I made lightly, but it was necessary to ensure the best possible outcome.

The preparation guidelines I provide aren't arbitrary - they're essential steps that determine how well your scalp accepts the pigment. When you moisturise properly before treatment, you're not just following instructions - you're actively investing in your results.

I'm deeply committed to delivering exceptional SMP results for every client. However, achieving these results requires a partnership. The success of your treatment depends significantly on following the pre-treatment protocols, especially proper moisturisation. Please take these preparation steps seriously - they're designed to give you the outstanding results you deserve.

The Critical Importance of Scalp Moisturisation Before SMP Treatment

Proper scalp preparation is crucial for successful Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), with moisturisation being one of the most vital yet often overlooked steps. Here's why maintaining a well-moisturised scalp before your SMP treatment is essential:

Optimal Ink Retention
A properly moisturised scalp provides the ideal canvas for pigment deposition. When your scalp is dry, it can:

• Resist ink penetration
• Lead to patchy results
• Cause excessive scabbing
• Result in poor pigment retention

The Science Behind It
Dry scalp tissue becomes tough and resistant, making it difficult for the needles to deposit pigment effectively. This can cause:

• Inconsistent pigment depth
• Uneven appearance
• Need for additional sessions
• Potential scarring

Pre-Treatment Protocol
Your SMP practitioner will provide specific instructions for scalp preparation, typically including:

• When to start moisturising
• Which products to use
• How often to apply
• What to avoid

Following these instructions isn't optional - it's essential for your treatment's success.

Potential Complications of Poor Preparation
Failing to properly moisturise can lead to:

• Poor ink retention
• Uneven results
• Increased discomfort during treatment
• Extended healing time
• Additional costs for touch-ups

Listen to Your Practitioner
Your SMP artist is experienced in achieving optimal results. Their pre-treatment instructions:

• Are based on professional experience
• Account for your specific scalp condition
• Help ensure the best possible outcome
• Minimise potential complications

Remember

The success of your SMP treatment largely depends on following your practitioner's preparation instructions carefully. A well-moisturised scalp isn't just a recommendation - it's a requirement for achieving the natural, long-lasting results you desire.

Don't risk compromising your SMP investment by skipping this crucial preparation step. Your practitioner's guidance is designed to give you the best possible outcome, so follow their moisturisation protocol exactly as prescribed.
