Laser SMP Removal Aftercare

laser aftercare instructions

Once you have had your laser SMP removal session, it’s critical to follow the aftercare instructions closely. At Studio Kiku, our goal is to ensure that you get the very best results from your laser scalp micropigmentation removal treatments. By following these instructions you’ll help speed up the healing process and you’ll prevent any complications that may arise from negligent aftercare practices.

• Use a cold compress several times a day for the first 2-3 days 
• Wash with cool water & a mild soap  
• Breathable hats may be worn after 12 hours 
• Starting on day 2, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor 2-3 times a day 
• Avoid sun exposure on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks 
• Do not pick or scratch the treatment area 
• Avoid intense workouts that elevate your body temperature for the first 2-3 days 
• Avoid skin irritants of any kind for 2 weeks (retinol, Vitamin C, chemical peels… etc.)

To speed up recovery and achieve the best results from your laser SMP removal treatment, we suggest using suitable skincare pre and post-treatment. It’s ideal to use a gentle cleanser and hydrating serum or moisturizer to keep your skin clean and hydrated as you heal. 

 
Most importantly, daily SPF use is essential to protect your skin from UV rays and blue light, which can contribute to pigmentation and skin aging.
