Dr. Rassman / Dr. Pak,
SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation) must be protected from exposure to strong sunlight, so can self-tan products be safely applied to a scalp that has undergone SMP – i.e. chemical reaction to pigments? Thank you.Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you, too!
Tanning products are not similar to sun exposure so yes, you should be able to use tanning products after Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP). I would wait a few weeks before doing this so that the reaction to the skin needle wounds are well healed. There should be no chemical reaction of the tanning products to the pigments used with SMP once full skin healing is complete.
