SMP / Medical Tattoo Aftercare Guide

(Scalp Micropigmentation, Scar Camouflage, Areola, Vitiligo, or Permanent Makeup)

Your SMP or medical tattoo is a medical-grade procedure. Follow these steps to heal safely and achieve the best results.

1. What You Need to Purchase

• Antibacterial baby foam

• Fucidin ointment (orange label) — not the red one
  

  

  

📋 2. Things You Need to Do

First 24–48 Hours

• If a nylon bandage was applied, remove after 2–6 hours.

• If a second skin bandage was applied, you may keep it on up to 48 hours only (never longer).

• After removing the bandage, wash the area gently with antibacterial baby foam.

• Pat dry with sterile gauze or clean tissue — do not rub.

• Apply Fucidin ointment (orange label) thinly every 4 hours during this period.

Days 2–14

• Wash once or twice daily with antibacterial baby foam.

• Apply Fucidin ointment 3 times per day until the area is fully healed.

• Keep the area moisturized but not greasy — thin application is enough.

🚫 3. Things to Avoid (0–30 Days)

• No sun exposure for at least 1 month (cover with breathable cap or sun-safe protection).

• No soaking in pools, ocean, sauna, or steam rooms. Showers under 5 minutes are fine.

• No tight hats, helmets, or headbands that cause friction.

• No harsh treatments such as scrubbing, exfoliation, or chemical peels.

• No excessive sweating or sports for at least 5 days (longer if swelling persists).

• No scratching or picking as flakes form — allow natural shedding.

• Avoid pets’ contact (dogs, cats) — they carry bacteria that may cause infection.

⚠️ 4. Watch for Complications

Contact your technician if you see:

• Severe redness or swelling beyond Day 3

• Yellow discharge or foul smell

• Color turning very dark or very light in patches

✅ Healing Timeline Overview

• Days 0–2: Slight redness, possible oozing, very fresh look

• Days 3–7: Light scabbing/flaking begins — do not pick

• Days 8–14: Scabs fall off, color may look lighter (normal)

• Days 15–30: Skin settles, pigment evens out

• After Day 30: Review your result; touch-ups may be scheduled if needed
