Pre-Treatment Preparation Guide

PRE SMP TREATMENT GUIDE

3 days before Treatment

• Begin Scalp Conditioning  
• Avoid harsh exfoliants,  anything that may irritate the skin
• Keep your scalp protected from sun exposure.
• If head shaving is part of your routine, pause until Day 1 to allow the skin to settle.  

 2 Days Before Treatment

• Maintain Hydration & Scalp Health
• Continue moisturising the scalp.
• If dryness persists, apply a light layer morning and night. 
   
• Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated from within.
• Avoid alcohol, excess caffeine, and salty foods that can dehydrate the skin. 
   
• Refrain from sun exposure or tight hats that may cause irritation

The Day Before Treatment

• Shave the head using your usual method (electric shaver or wet razor). Aim for an even, consistent finish so density and hairline flow can be clearly assessed.
• After shaving, avoid heavy moisturisers, oils, or aftershave balms. 
• Avoid sweating, sun exposure, saunas, or anything that may irritate the scalp.  
• Stay well‑hydrated and get a good night’s sleep.
• If facial hair is groomed to complement the SMP look, tidy it today

ON THE DAY OF TREATMENT 

• Wash the scalp in the morning with a gentle cleanser.  
• Do not apply moisturiser, sunscreen, oils, or styling products.  
• Eat a normal meal and stay hydrated for comfort throughout the session.  
• Avoid excess caffeine or energy drinks, as they may increase scalp sensitivity
