Scalp Micropigmentation

Can I swim after scalp micropigmentation?

Scalp micropigmentation has a healing process 

There’s a seven-day healing process after every scalp micropigmentation appointment. Normally, scalp micropigmentation is anywhere between 2 to 3 appointments. It’s a seven-day healing process after every appointment. So there’s the first appointment and then there are seven days of healing—second appointment, seven days of healing, and a third appointment—seven days of healing. 

Now, because we’re located in Hawaii, we get this question all the time about whether they can swim during the healing process and if they can swim after once it’s fully healed.

Can I swim after my scalp micropigmentation is fully healed? 

Definitely! After your scalp micropigmentation is fully healed—after you’ve gone through the three treatments in the three appointments, you can definitely go ahead and swim as much as you like. We only ask our clients that if you guys are going to be out in the sun, like swimming at the pool at the beach, that you go ahead and put some sunscreen on your scalp micropigmentation, but the water itself is totally fine for it.

Can I swim during the 7-day healing process?

In the short term, during your healing process. During those seven days, we recommend you not swim at all. So if you’re going to do your appointments back to back to back. So the first appointment, then seven days, then the second appointment, seven days, and third appointment, seven days. That is a total time of 21 days. We do not want you to swim now because we live in Hawaii, a lot of people love the ocean and love going to the pool, love getting in the water, and we understand that. We really, really stress that if you can wait these 21 days, do not go in the water. 

If you really have to swim, the minimum that you have to wait is 4 days

So 4 days is the least amount of time in order for you to heal and then go swimming and not have it affect your scalp micropigmentation negatively. Now, if you do go swimming during that healing process, you may alter the results that you see.

So a good example is when clients come in here and they have previous work done by somebody else and they want it lightened. What we do here is we actually use basically saline, basically saltwater. and then we go ahead and we try to lighten it up. If you go swimming at the beach, that’s salt water, you’re basically lightening everything that we just work so hard to do.

Can scalp micropigmentation be removed?

The short answer is yes. Scalp micropigmentation can be removed, but really only effective with a laser. 

Scalp micropigmentation is first and foremost a tattoo. 

Even though it’s a cousin to traditional tattoos, it’s not permanent. It doesn’t last forever. With normal wear and tear, you can usually expect about 5 to 10 years out of your scalp micropigmentation, depending on weather, lifestyle, how you treat it, climate, things like that, a whole host of other factors. 

If you wanted to remove it in that five to 10 years, the only way to do so is to get laser tattoo removal. It usually takes a few appointments, but it can definitely be done. That is pretty much the only way to completely remove it. Now, there are some ways to lighten it. If you decide that it’s too dark for you. Most scalp micropigmentation practitioners can lighten it a little bit by using saline. Ask your SMP practitioner if that’s something that they offer. 

Can I fade my scalp micropigmentation naturally? 

Other ways if you wanted to go a natural route would be to do everything that we tell you not to do if you get scalp micropigmentation.

Sunlight is the biggest fader of scalp micropigmentation 

Going out in the sunlight without a hat and without sunscreen is going to be one of the biggest things that you can do if you want to fade your scalp micropigmentation. If you don’t want to get it completely removed, that is definitely the top option. 

Scalp micropigmentation can be reversed 

I did want to answer this question because we get it all the time. Especially, we always get it from clients when they come in for their first consultation, they’re nervous, right?. They want to make sure that if they decide on doing it, they can reverse it if they don’t like it and we completely understand. We always tell them, yeah, that’s definitely an option. If they wanted to, they could go ahead and get it removed by a laser. 

We can always tattoo more, we can never tattoo less

So we always tell our clients when they come into YAMA Studios that it’s a process and we want to let them know that we’re going to take it slow. A motto that we have here is that we can always tattoo more, we can never tattoo less. 

So we go slow on the first appointment, pick it up on the second appointment, and then get you where you want to be on the third appointment. It’s really important to us that you get the three treatments because we want to build slowly. We want you to have input during that time. 

We’re going to start too slow. It’s going to be very subtle at first. Our hope is the next week that you come back and you’re like, “Ryan, I want it darker. I want it denser. We can do that, right?”

But if I were to go ahead and just lay everything down on the first appointment, and then it turns out that you don’t like it, it’s too dark or it’s too dense, then you’re going to be like, “Ryan, I don’t like this. Can you take it out?” I can’t. Sorry. We can’t do that. 

This is a really long way of saying that it’s really important that you find a scalp micropigmentation practitioner that you trust.

It’s really important that you and them communicate well together, and that you both have an understanding of where you want to go and how you want your scalp micropigmentation to look. 

If you want to get in touch with me for a consultation, then fill out the contact form below. Let’s see what scalp micropigmentation can do for you!

What should I do after scalp micropigmentation?

The answer to this is twofold. The first part is the aftercare that you need to do immediately following your procedure, and then the aftercare that you need to do long-term in order to maintain or optimize the results that you get from scalp micropigmentation.

So scalp micropigmentation is essentially a hair follicle replication tattoo. They’re very tiny. There are thousands of these tattoos all over your scalp until you have basically a recreation of stubble or a density treatment in the case that you have more hair or an existing hairline. 

Aftercare for Short Term or Right After Your Appointment 

So after you have scalp micropigmentation, as with a traditional tattoo, there is an amount of aftercare that needs to be followed to get the correct healed results. This is even more true in scalp micropigmentation because it happens in three appointments and each one is dependent on the one before it. So the way this works is the first appointment is foundational. It’s the one that does basically the reframing of the hairline or concentrated framing of the area of concern that needs to be filled in a little bit, and then there’s going to be a seven-day period of healing time. 

Scalp micropigmentation actually has no downtime 

You can walk right out of the studio and no one will know that you had scalp micropigmentation done aside from a little bit of redness that goes away within a couple of hours, there’s no need to take time off work. You don’t have to stay away from any events, so it’s very low maintenance in this way.

However, after you do have it done for the first four days following each treatment, this is going to be true of the first treatment, the second treatment and the third treatment. You are going to need to be very careful with your scalp for those first four days. 

• Stay out of gyms pools, saunas, lakes, oceans, anywhere where there’s going to be a warm environment or bacteria can thrive

There’s just MRSA at gyms and that’s really one of the only risk factors associated with scalp micropigmentation is a very low risk of infection if you don’t follow these aftercare instructions. 

So during your four initial days of scalp micropigmentation healing following an appointment, you need to stay out of gyms pools, saunas, lakes, oceans, anywhere where there’s going to be a warm environment or bacteria can thrive, and then you also need to not wash your hair for four days. This seems like a tall order but after your final appointment and healing process, you’re never going to have to worry about this again.

It’s a small upfront investment of time to get a lot of time back from your everyday hair loss routine. So you’re going to need to stay out of places where bacteria will be.

•  Don’t wash your hair for the first four days

On the fourth day, you can wash your hair with baby shampoo. It’s best to avoid products with cetyl alcohol in them, which is in most shampoos and can irritate your scalp and affect the healed results. It’s also important during this time just to treat your scalp really gently because you have tiny scabs. These tiny scabs are attached to the pigment underneath your skin before your scalp heals completely, they’re really delicate and they need to be treated gently. Otherwise, they can fall off pretty maturely before they’re ready and pull the pigment out with them. That would undo all of the hard work that was done in your initial session, and it’s going to be hard to recreate that and to get the best results. 

• Stay out of the sun

Now, the sun is going to come back into play when I talk about long term care, because, as I’ll say here, tattoos, as a rule, are faded the most by the sun. The sun does the most damage to any type of tattoo, and this is true of paramedical or cosmetic tattoos like scalp micropigmentation, microblading, lip blush, tattoo, or eyeliner. This matters. When you’re in the sun, the sun causes damage and that damage will slowly reach your scalp micropigmentation, even though it’s healed under your scalp. 

Now, this is really important. When you’re in these first initial four days of healing, it’s very important to keep your head out of the sun, either with a hat or with sunscreen or just staying indoors and not sweating too much. This is all going to help your scalp heal the best.

Aftercare for Long Term

Now, Let’s imagine you’ve gone through each session of your scalp micropigmentation appointment. After your first appointment, 4 days of healing. On the seventh day, you have your second appointment, four days of healing time. On the seventh day you have your third appointment and then seven days and you’re completely healed. 

• Stay out of the sun

Now that you’re completely healed, you can resume your lifestyle as it was. However, during this time, if you want to keep your scalp micropigmentation as fresh as possible, it’s wise to avoid the sun. There is only one carryover point from your short term aftercare to your long-term aftercare and that is the sun. The sun damages your skin, the sun damages your scalp and the sun damages your scalp micropigmentation. So it’s very important to be mindful of applying sunscreen and wearing a hat and never possible. That said, scalp micropigmentation is not intended to run your life. So once you’ve had it done, the whole goal of it is to reclaim having to constantly worry about your scalp. So while scalp micropigmentation will fade more quickly if you are in the sun a lot, that’s okay. Because it’s your scalp micropigmentation, and it’s very easy to go and get a touch up. 

• Get a touch up

People get them all the time and most people only get them when they want them. So if your scalp micropigmentation is looking a little faded, just go in and get a quick touch-up. Your scalp micropigmentation is going to last for years. That said, if you want it to last even longer, which would add about a year or two to your foundational scalp micropigmentation, you’re going to want to stay out of the sun.

If you don’t mind getting touch-ups a little more frequently than other people, then go for it. You can go on in the sun as much as you want and not worry about it and the thing is you can do that anyway because you can always get a touch-up. 

That service is always available to you, and it’s something that’s easily done with existing scalp micropigmentation. The equipment is much quicker and much less expensive because the foundational work is already done. The hard part is out of the way and now it just needs a little bit of a refresher treatment. So really, this is a completely customizable solution and it really gives you back the freedom to live your life how you want to because the long-term maintenance comes down to just keeping your scalp healthy and out of the sun.

Is SMP Good To Have in Hawaii Weather? 

The answer to this is yes, and the answer is going to be yes for anywhere with a similar climate to Hawaii—places where it’s warm and sunny, scalp micropigmentation is the best solution, hands down for a few different reasons:

• The recovery time is zero
• There’s no time off work, and then also 
• You can go right back outside and not be worried about the healing of your scalp micropigmentation

A lot of people are surprised when I actually say that scalp micropigmentation is really awesome for Hawaii’s weather because you’ll see if you watch any of my other videos, I address that the sun is the fastest fader of scalp micropigmentation. 

The sun is the fastest fader of any tattoo, which is why it fades scalp micropigmentation at a slightly higher rate than it would somewhere else. 

Scalp micropigmentation is good for Hawaii weather because it’s a much better solution than topics than powders, also than using hair loss drugs.

That’s a little bit for a separate reason and has more to do with the fact that hair loss drugs have a lot of negative side effects. But as far as transplant, a transplant is very high maintenance, does require a lot of healing time and then hair growth. You might not want to maintain long hair in a warm climate because it does tend to be kind of warm, and then if you’re using topical things to disguise hair loss, you’re going to have to worry about melting, sliding, and then also because it rains in Hawaii as well, you have to be vigilant about carrying an umbrella and making sure that you don’t wear light color clothes just in case it runs. 

That’s something that is just a lot of work and very stressful, and that’s why scalp micropigmentation is a much better solution than those other options. So scalp micropigmentation—because it doesn’t move and because it’s permanent, it’s really easy to have day-to-day. It’s super low maintenance. You don’t have to worry about it moving, and then on the recovery end for a hair transplant, you do have to let your hair grow a good bit and there is kind of a long recovery time compared to scalp micropigmentation, which has no recovery time at all. You can leave the studio immediately after you’ve had it done and go about your daily life. 

Scalp micropigmentation fits the Hawaii lifestyle

Here in Hawaii, we’re super busy. People work two jobs most of the time. We’re really, really family-oriented in Hawaii as well. So you’re always going to someone’s fundraisers, somebody’s game, picking up someone’s kids, your kids, your sister’s kids. You know, watching your parents, and so there’s just a lot that needs to get done in Hawaii life, and also, we do spend a lot of time together. 

So when you’re running from work directly to a family event or to a work event, you really want to make sure that that hair loss isn’t something that you’re worrying about actively while you’re doing these things. So for scalp micropigmentation, both for the recovery time and also for the ease is really a great solution for the climate and also just for Hawaii in general. 

People here are way too busy to take the time to have a hair transplant and have downtime. We’re also too busy to be constantly going to the bathroom to worry about hair topics or powder or fibers that we’re using to cover hair loss. 

Scalp micropigmentation is a great solution for hair loss in both men and women 

Scalp micropigmentation covers all diffuse thinning for women. If you have thinning in a specific spot, scalp micropigmentation can totally disguise that. Make it much easier to just get up, do your daily routine and go about your life as opposed to consistently worrying about maintaining it throughout the day. And then the same thing goes for men, actually. If you’re going to have scalp micropigmentation for diffuse thinning, it’s pretty much the same as if you’re getting it for a certain spot where you’re going to get scalp micropigmentation and then go about your daily routine, maintaining your style, and then you don’t have to worry about touching up whatever you’ve been using to disguise your hair loss. 

Ready to buzz your head? Hawaii is the best place for that

Everybody here buzzes their head. It’s super common because it’s hot here, and so having a completely shaved head and then rebuilding your hairline with scalp micropigmentation the perfect solution. You can make that decision, shave your head, come in, give scalp micropigmentation, and be back into your life within a day. It’s so low maintenance, and it takes so little time. 

So for most people, that’s actually the most efficient solution, and it’s even more cost-effective than continually buying and worrying about having to run to Long’s and get whatever powder or topic that you have. In short scalp micropigmentation is not only the best hair loss solution for people who live in Hawaii’s weather and other tropical climates, but it’s really the best for Hawaii’s lifestyle because we’re busy here, and we have more important things to worry about.

So a solution where you fix it and are back into your life a couple of hours later is perfect for people who live in Hawaii.

Can you grow your hair out after SMP? 

The answer is yes, you can do whatever you like with your own hair. 

Now, a lot of whether or not you shouldn’t do it depends on the style that you have decided to go with: 

• If your thinning is concentrated on the side of your head.

If your thinning is on the side of your head, you can throw out the hair on top of your head to complement your SMP. It’s very easy to recreate the look of the fade if your thinning is concentrated on the lower part of your scalp and you still have hair remaining on the top of your head, even if that means that the hair on top of your head is diffused, which means that it’s not as thick as it used to be, you can still pull off growing your hair out on top. 

• If your thinning was concentrated on the top of your head or towards the back

It’s going to be very difficult for you to pull off a natural look. Now, when people say grow their hair out after SMP, I think a lot of times what people think they have to do is go over with a big razor and just shave their entire head. Now that’s not the case. You do not have to keep your head that closed-shaved. It’d be very easy and actually, I recommend this to just grab a good foil shaver that you like and keep that either at your house or in your car wherever is routine for you to just run it over your head every once in a while and to maintain not a super close shave, but a rough, close shave in order to really embrace the realism of your scalp micropigmentation because it looks best if you’re thinning is concentrated on the top of your head or in the back to lean into that and just go ahead and buzz everything and then allow the scalp micropigmentation to really be utilized in order to reconstruct your hairline and make it look like you don’t have any hair loss. 

• If you don’t want to shave your head and you’re suffering from thinning, that is both on the top and back of your head

I would advise you to think carefully about whether or not scalp micropigmentation is a good idea for you at this time. Sometimes you might need to have a little bit more hair loss before you’re ready to commit to a certain style. That said, I find that most people get to a point where worrying about maintaining a style with a lot of hair loss involved is really exhausting. And so finally, just committing to SMP really takes a lot of active worry off of your plate so you can grow your hair on after SMP because you can do whatever you want to do with your hair. 

I do find that it’s best if you’re going to commit to SMP and your hair loss is mostly localized for the top and back of your scalp, I would advise committing to keeping your hair pretty close-shaven in order to take advantage of the scalp micropigmentation. 

• If your hair is completely intact, but you have diffuse thinning, which means that you have all over thinning, but you still maintain a decent hairline

Then yes, you can grow your hair as much as you want. At the point where it’s concentrated thinning in patches, you do need to commit to a consistent look in order to mitigate the effect of the hair loss. So that’s something that’s worth considering because it’s really individual and depends on the person. 

There are certain long styles that can mesh well with scalp micropigmentation.

Now for women, this is a little bit different because women’s thinning tends to be located either on the temples or right here on the crown of the head. So those are very easy to use SMP and maintain the length of your hair. 

Now, this is the one that I find looks really good with scalp micropigmentation. If your hair is long and that is if your hairline is only slightly back, then you can lean into a style where it looks like you did shape the front. Now the style I’m talking about is dreadlocks. If you do have dreadlocks and your hairline is receding, this is really common with dreadlocks because it can create a little bit of traction alopecia, just because of the weight of the dreadlocks. 

This is actually something that’s a really good solution for you because it doesn’t look unusual for folks to shave with the front part of their head and maintain dreadlocks. That is one style I do find that’s really good is a scalp micropigmentation and then for women obviously, if you do have long hair with localized thinning, then SMP is a really good solution for you as well, and you can continue to grow your hair as long as you want. 

Other than that, though, it’s really individual, it just depends on the style you have. Now, scalp micropigmentation can work well with most hairstyles. So this isn’t a hard and fast rule and it really depends on what your hair looks like, and that’s something that’s worth coming to a practitioner and seeing what they can do with the style that you currently have or the style you want to have. 

Do I have to be totally bald in order to have scalp micropigmentation? 

You can grow your hair out if you have scalp micropigmentation and you don’t have to be totally bald in order to have scalp micropigmentation, there are no hard and fast rules with this treatment. 

Most people can use it in some capacity, if not a complete capacity. So it’s something that’s a really flexible tool that you can use to combat hair loss however it affects you the most.

How long after scalp micropigmentation can I sweat? 

I get this question so often, and sometimes people decide whether or not they can get SMP based on the answer to this question. But lucky for them, it’s a very short amount of time.

So the amount of time after your initial procedure you can sweat is four days 

I’m going to explain this a little bit more deeply by explaining the recovery process for scalp micropigmentation first. So scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic hair follicle replication tattoo. It’s thousands of tiny dots all over your head that can make your hair look thicker, denser, or reconstruct your hairline. It can be used for a multitude of hair loss situations. But for folks who are using it specifically, any sort of reconstruction is a really fantastic service.

After you have your scalp micropigmentation done, there is zero recovery time. 

That’s one of the biggest advantages of scalp micropigmentation. You can walk right out of the studio, and no one will know that you had it done. People don’t have to take time off of work. It’s very low maintenance, and the healing process is really only seven days total. 

I do with my gym and workout nuts have to tell them that they do need to not sweat for four days. I know that’s a tall order, but really, what I mean is for you to not sweat excessively, and that has less to do with the sweat and more to do with the fact that after you do have a tattoo, you do have tiny scabs, and they’re very fragile. So these scabs are actually attached to the pigment, which is underneath your skin, and it’s settling where I placed it. So we want to make sure it heals in place because layering is very important to the realism of scalp micropigmentation. 

So if you want to get a good result, you do need to make sure you let the scab fall off naturally, and they tend to do that between days 5 and 7.  

So it’s really important during these first four days to treat your head very carefully and not be too rough with the towel or let sweat or any sort of friction rub off the scabs because they need to stay in place. 

So in short, within four days, you can start working out again. But it really is best to let your health complete seven days before going back to working out really hard. That said, as long as you wait the first four days it’s going to be okay. 

Can I sweat after my SMP is fully healed? 

I think here it’s also important to note that after your scalp micropigmentation is totally healed, you never have to worry about this ever again because the point of scalp micropigmentation is that it is low maintenance and good for people who are active, busy, or just don’t want to worry about a lot of hair loss applications. So with different topics, hair loss drugs, or the downtime and cost of surgical solutions like hair transplants. 

So in this case, as long as your SMP is healed, swimming, hiking, working out, none of that is going to have an effect on your SMP. 

The only thing that can fade it is going to be the sun. And so after your healing process is over, you can go back to sweating as much as you like, and that is the beauty of SMP. 

Do I need to wait for 4 days after each procedure before I can sweat?

So a scalp micropigmentation procedure in total consists of 2 to 3 appointments. After each appointment, there is a seven-day healing period during which you need to abide by several different guidelines in order to get the best results. Now, after every appointment, you do need to wait four days in order to protect these really delicate scabs that are forming in order to let your scalp micropigmentation settle underneath your skin.

Once your scalp has healed your SMP is safe. But before that, it’s your job to take really good care of it for those four days in order to give yourself the result that you want. So the way this will look in practice if you would come in for your first appointment and then go four days without sweating excessively, then you can walk outside and do other activities.

But you do need to make sure during these four days you’re not pouring sweat after these four days have passed, you can resume normal activities. Then, your second appointment. Let’s assume it’s scheduled consecutively seven days later. Then four days afterward, you got it, you can’t work out. You can’t sweat excessively, and then you’re going to have again the same seven-day delay, and then on the seventh-day let’s say you have a third consecutive appointment to a 21-day cycle and then on that third appointment four days recovery time. Then you’re good to go and by 30 days and I mean completely 30 days—you are totally fine. There’s nothing you can do to your scalp micropigmentation that is going to ruin it workout-wise.

Conclusion

Essentially what you need to do is just make sure that during these initial 4 days to 12 days total, that you try not to sweat too much. After that, sweat as much as you want, run a marathon, do whatever you want because that is the whole point of getting something that’s this low maintenance is to make sure that you can go back to living the lifestyle you want as soon as you’re done healing.

Is Scalp Micropigmentation or Hair Pigmentation safe? 

Oh, I love this question, because while tattoos, in general, do have a reputation from history from being something that’s a little bit more on the risky side, there is an entire industry now that is devoted to this type of paramedical tattoo, and it is actually much safer with a much lower risk of any sort of bloodborne pathogen, and I’m going to go into that now. 

It is actually a much lower risk procedure than a traditional tattoo.

So scalp micropigmentation is a totally different procedure from a traditional tattoo. The tools are different. The pigment is different. The needle is different, and then even the method of work and best procedures for safety and sanitation is different because tattoo artists tend to have a much larger clientele, and scalp micropigmentation practitioners tend to work with a much smaller client base and then a much more one on one environment. This produces the chance for any type of cross-contamination. And then on top of that, now, all scalp micropigmentation practitioners are subject to different state laws for tattooing and licensing. 

So as long as you make sure that your scalp micropigmentation practitioner is a licensed tattoo artist in your state, you have mitigated almost all risk. 

Because once you’ve done that, the risk is even lower with scalp micropigmentation. The method of using needles is actually very different from traditional tattoos. We use individually packaged sterilized cartridges. This isn’t the standard for all traditional tattoos, which does contribute sometimes to the risk of cross-contamination and other bloodborne pathogens. But with scalp micropigmentation, individuals use needles, a smaller group of clientele, and then also the fact that scalp micropigmentation heals much faster once you get out to the world, contributes to a lower risk factor. The odds of you getting an infection from scalp micropigmentation is very low. 

How is scalp micropigmentation different from a traditional tattoo? 

Most of the time when you’re having scalp micropigmentation, there’s almost no bleeding. The reason for this is because scalp micropigmentation actually goes into a different level of the skin than a traditional tattoo, and that does contribute to the overall result, and the overall technique being totally different. 

If you have a traditional tattoo and then you go in and have scalp micropigmentation, it’ll become very obvious to you that tattoos and scalp micropigmentation are cousins. They are not even in the same realm as far as risk factors and also just different practices. 

There’s little risk for scalp micropigmentation because of the environment and practice used to perform it, and this can be reduced even further by following proper after-care instructions.

If an infection is the biggest risk in SMP, how can I prevent it? 

The biggest risk in scalp micropigmentation is going to be an infection as long as you don’t expose your scalp during the first four days after a procedure to things that may give it an infection like going into a pond or a sauna or touching things at the gym and then touching your head. It’s essentially an open cut, you do run the risk of giving yourself an infection. But if you do not do these things, it’s very unlikely that you’ll have any issues with your scalp micropigmentation.

Suggested reading: How Long Does Scalp Micropigmentation Take to Heal?

Conclusion 

The risk of any sort of complication within the cosmetic or paramedical tattoo community is very low and that is contributed to by the difference in practices and different types of applications that are used. So in short, scalp micropigmentation and hair pigmentations are very safe procedures and very low risk. They’re often performed on people who have underlying conditions as long as the doctor signs off on them, and that actually has a lot to do with the responsibility that the community takes on to make sure the clientele are safe because it is a different service from a traditional tattoo and I will reiterate that though the risk is low, you can reduce any risk at all even further by going to a licensed tattoo practitioner, a specialized scalp micropigmentation practitioner and making sure that you follow the after-care. And if on top of that, you make sure you’re very cognizant of touching your scalp within the four days after your pageant procedure there’s very little risk of any issues.
