Pre Care Instructions
Please read the following and follow as closely as possible.
Overview
Microblading procedure normally requires multiple treatment sessions. For the best results, clients will be required to return for at least one re-touch appointment. This will take place 6-8 weeks after the initial procedure. Those with oily skin may require an additional touch up.
Please be aware that color intensity will be significantly darker immediately after the first session and a few days after the initial procedure, but the color will reduce by 30-40% the 7 days following the procedure.
Although numbing cream is used during the procedure, sensitivity or discomfort may still be felt. Skin may be red and/or swollen after the procedure. This will disappear in about 20 minutes after the procedure is finished.
Topical Anesthetic Advice
Numbness and discomfort we cannot accept responsibility if the area to be treated does not respond to the numbing cream. Each individual is different according to skin type. Some clients report the area to be completely numb, while others may experience some discomfort.

How many sessions will I need?
Most clients will require 2-3 sessions. Aggressive fading often associated with treatments by other providers is uncommon when using genuine Scalpa ink as the formulation is the highest quality. Additional treatments will increase the density or the number of ink dots in one area. More density will result in a darker, more natural look, which will help integrate the procedure into any remaining hair. However, it’s always better to work conservatively and not do too much too quick. If you are covering scars, you are more likely to require more sessions as scar tissue absorbs ink more readily, resulting in more significant fading. Treatments on clients with Alopecia may still be completed after 2-3 sessions. However, the sessions are likely to be longer, especially if the client is suffering from aggressive Alopecia Areata, patchy hair loss, or Alopecia Totalis, the total loss of all head hair.
Is the treatment painful?
Scalp Micropigmenation requires a small needle to be inserted into the upper dermis of the scalp. A certain amount of discomfort is inevitable; however, most clients report the sensation to be nothing more than mildly irritating, even therapeutic. The general consensus is that the pain varies from a 3-4 out of 10. Some parts of the scalp, for example the temporal regions and the hairline, can be more sensitive. Additionally, some people experience more discomfort than others, and people who have used hair systems for a long period of time, or have a significant amount of scar tissue to cover, are also prone to a higher pain level. Pain can be minimized with an over the counter painkiller before each session as well as with application of numbing products.
What is the recovery period?
You will experience some redness and swelling on the scalp for a few days after the procedure. The pigment initially will appear a few shades darker and can take one to seven days to lighten, and in rarer cases up to 14 days. Bruising can also occur which may cause the treated area to appear darker or to appear slightly blue. This is relatively uncommon affecting approx. 1 in 10 clients, and goes away after a few days.
I’m a hair system user.
If you normally wear a hair system, rug, or hairpiece, be sure to NOT to wear the hair system for 10-14 days to allow skin to breathe. By not doing so, you will take the chance that the procedure will not take properly.
I have transplant scars.
Scar tissue reacts different for each client, so therefore, those areas will be approached with extra caution and may require a greater number of treatments. In addition, you should come back within five to seven days or when swelling disappears for a session that strengthens the fast fading pigment in the scar area. Treatment duration ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the treated area.
I have recently undergone laser treatment.
Scar tissue reacts different for each client, so again, those areas will be approached with extra caution and may require a greater number of treatments. In addition, the client should come back within five to seven days or when swelling disappears for a session that strengthens the fast fading pigment in the scar area. Treatment duration ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the treated area.
