What to Expect After Scalp Pigmentation?
After a scalp pigmentation session, mild redness and sensitivity in the treated area are common but typically subside within a few days. The scalp will form a thin layer of scabbing as part of the healing process, which should not be picked at to avoid disrupting the pigment. Most individuals can resume daily activities shortly after the procedure, but strenuous activities that cause excessive sweating should be avoided for about a week. Proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.
Over the weeks following the procedure, the pigment settles and takes on its final appearance. Any adjustments to density or shading are typically addressed during follow-up sessions. Long-term care involves protecting the scalp from direct sun exposure by using sunscreen or wearing hats, as UV rays can contribute to pigment fading. Regular maintenance sessions every few years can refresh the results, ensuring the pigmentation remains natural and consistent over time.
