How long does one have to wait before they can exercise and sweat?
Answer: No wait Every doctor has a different post-care regimen. It is always a good idea to ask your doctor. In general you can go back to the gym right after SMP. There is no restriction on this.Many of my patients work out daily. They usually go back to the gym even on the same day.Scalp Micro Pigmentation is a combination of art work and technical skill. Not everybody doing SMP can pull off a realistic look.

Answer: SMP - exercise Sweating it out with exercise may make you feel amazing but it is not recommended right away after a procedure of scalp micro-pigmentation. Sweat can have adverse effects on the newly settling pigment that can lead to potential pre-mature fading.

Answer: Post SMP Ideally with the first session give it a few days before any heavy exercise, sweating or head washing. The pigment needs time to settle with the excess allowed to leave the scalp leaving a base solid pigment. The next session the pigment will be stronger and so on.

Answer: Sweat out that pigment Hello.SMP pigment is placed superficially and should not be affected; however, any puncture in the skin is not waterproof for 24 hours so I typically tell patients to wait 1 day so to not remove any pigment casts. Everyone is different. The physician performing your procedure will have specific directions. Nikki D. Hill, MD

Answer: Post op care It is best to give the scalp a week to fully heal before sweating, however you will be fine after 3 days if a week is too long to wait.
