Scalp Micropigmentation: when is it okay to go swimming?

Question

How long do I have to wait to go swimming after SMP?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Every doctor has a different post-care regimen.  It is always a good idea to ask your doctor.  In general you can us the pool few days after SMP. A few of my patients who swim and use the pool everyday went back to swimming in as little as 2 days.A bad Scalp Micro Pigmentation SMP can make you look like Lego Man or helmet head. Scalp Micro Pigmentation is a combination of art work and technical skill. Not everybody doing SMP can pull off a realistic look.Just like not everybody doing FUE or hair transplant surgery can pull off a realistic look (good results).

I would not soak in Chlorine water and but you can swim 4 days after SMP see Website below. Wetting the scalp after SMP is ok the day after, but soaking under water might be pushing it before a week has passed. See web-site below
