Before coming in for each and every treatment, please follow the below
guidelines for the best possible results and longevity of the SMP treatment;

• Use a general moisturiser or our preferred choice of high potency
  vitamin E cream (available from any chemist) daily after showers / before bed for one week on the treatment area before each session
• Exfoliate the treatment area the night before your first session
• Minimise sun exposure to your scalp as much as possible. Please ensure you do not have any sunburn on the area that is to be treated. Cancellation fees will apply if this is not followed as we cannot proceed with treatment due to sunburn.!
• Avoid consumption of alcohol or caffeine a day before the treatment as these beverages can worsen the pain.
• If you take medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen on a regular basis, consult with your medical practitioner first and ask them if it’s okay to continue taking pain relievers throughout your treatment. Generally, we recommend these medications should be stopped approximately 48 hours prior to the treatment as it can cause bleeding!
• Stay out of chlorinated pools 1 week before treatment
• Your specialist will advise you on how short to have your hair coming in for a treatment

We cannot conduct any treatments on scalps that have any of the following conditions and/or taking any of the medications listed:

• Extremely dry / flaky scalp
• Dandruff on the treatment area
• Open / unhealed wounds or scratches
