Redness After Scalp Micropigmentation: Is it Temporary?

Posted by Mary Shoufield on

Scalp micropigmentation creates the illusion of a shaved head or adds density to thinning hair. While minimally invasive, the use of needles to deposit pigment into the scalp does create the fear factor among potential clients. But the needles used for the treatment are micro-needles that do not cause pain. However, little amount of redness is a common side effect that is expected of the treatment.

Level of Redness

There could be mild to moderate degree of redness. The intensity varies, depending on the client’s skin sensitivity. Redness begins to surface as soon as the session is over.

Duration of Redness

Even though redness is noticeable immediately after the procedure, it is temporary and usually goes away in a matter of days.

In some clients, it may disappear within 24 to 48 hours, but for others, it might take a little longer.

Minimizing Redness

While redness can't be entirely eliminated, some steps can help reduce its intensity and duration. It is crucial for clients to follow SMP aftercare instructions to cleanse the scalp and avoid irritation. Avoid strenuous activity because the goal is to keep sweat at bay, which can worsen redness.

It is critically important for scalp artists to inform clients of the need to avoid sun exposure immediately after the treatment session. The harsh rays of the sun can be harsh on the newly inked scalp.

Why does redness happen?

Redness is common after a scalp session. It is a natural inflammatory response from the skin, which reacts to the implantation of pigments.

Immediately after the treatment, the scalp will appear red, swollen, and may even have some minor bleeding or oozing. This initial redness and swelling are typically at their peak and can last for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure.

However, some clients cannot wait for 24 hours to see how their newly inked scalp will appear. For such clients, checking the results immediately after the treatment session may not be possible due to scalp redness.

Therefore, DermMicro has come up with Redness Remover, which is a revolutionary solution to the problem.

Redness Remover: Is It Worth It?

As its name suggests, this special product helps calm down that redness and soothe the skin for 5-7 minutes. This is enough time for your client to get a sneak peek at their final SMP results. 

The application of Redness Remover works like a magic trick on scalp redness. However, it is important to remember that this effect is only temporary, and the redness will be back after about 15 minutes. Once the magic fades, you can soothe their scalp with a healing ointment.

One bottle of this redness remover lasts for a whopping 80 scalp procedures, so you can keep the good vibes going for many clients!

Proper aftercare and patience are key to allowing the scalp to heal properly and for the redness to subside, revealing the desired results of the scalp micropigmentation treatment.
