    Summary: Important Care Steps After Simulation & Stimulation

    (Based on Dr. Steven Goh's Guide)

    1
    Acute Phase (0–5 Days)

    Care Steps:

    Saline Solution Cleaning
    Clean the scalp vertically with saline solution (sodium chloride) every 2 hours. Avoid rubbing to prevent black factor (pigment effect) loss or infection.
    Cold Treatment
    Apply a cold compress for up to 5 minutes if redness or swelling occurs.
    Sleep Position
    Use sterile gauze and a clean black towel under your head to avoid side pressure.
    Keep Head Upright
    Remain upright for 30 minutes post-treatment to promote blood circulation.

    Additional Tips:

    • Avoid touching with unwashed hands: Only touch the treated area with clean, sanitized hands.
    • Use lukewarm water: When rinsing, use lukewarm water to prevent irritation.
    Risk of Non-Compliance:
    Friction or improper cleaning may cause infection, black factor (pigment effect) loss, or delayed healing.
    2
    Crust Period (4–7 Days)

    Care Steps:

    Avoid Scratching
    Do not pick or scratch the crusts to prevent 30–40% black factor (pigment effect) loss.
    Nighttime Recovery Cream
    Apply a thin layer of recovery cream to relieve itching, then wash it off the next morning.
    Risk of Non-Compliance:
    Scratching may disrupt pigment adhesion, leading to uneven results or infection.
    3
    Peeling Period (8–14 Days)

    Care Steps:

    Special Shampoo
    Use a pH5.5 mild shampoo or Dr. M Shampoo (size of a 10-cent coin) to cleanse the scalp gently.
    Cool Air Drying
    Use a cool hairdryer held 20 cm away from the scalp.
    Gentle Massage
    Massage the scalp with your fingertips for 2–3 minutes during shampooing.

    Additional Tips:

    • Pat dry gently: After cleansing, gently pat the scalp dry instead of rubbing.
    • Avoid harsh hair products: Refrain from using styling gels, sprays, or other chemical products that might irritate the scalp.
    Risk of Non-Compliance:
    Harsh products or residue may irritate the scalp and compromise results.
    4
    Stability Period (15–30 Days)

    Care Steps:

    Color Adjustment
    Schedule a touch-up at 6 months if needed to refine uneven pigmentation or density.
    Avoid Self-Treatment
    Do not dye or perm your hair, as it may damage the black factor (pigment effect).
    Risk of Non-Compliance:
    Delayed touch-ups may cause fading or unsatisfactory results.
    5
    Maintenance Period (After 30 Days)

    Care Steps:

    Folli-Fix (5% Minoxidil)
    Apply Folli-Fix daily to maintain density.
    Dr. M Tonic
    Apply Dr. M Tonic twice a day (Morning & Night).
    LLLT Treatment
    Undergo periodic sessions (once every 2 weeks) to support follicle health.
    Sun Protection
    Wear a hat outdoors to prevent UV-induced fading.
    Gentle Products
    Avoid salicylic acid products.
    Risk of Non-Compliance:
    Skipping maintenance may lead to faster fading or increased hair loss.
    Additional Aftercare Tips:
    • Hygiene & Cleanliness: Maintain clean bedding and frequently change pillowcases to reduce bacterial exposure.
    • Limit Physical Activity: Avoid intense exercise that leads to excessive sweating, as it can interfere with healing.
    • Follow Prescribed Medications: Use any topical treatments or prescribed medications as directed.
    • Stay Hydrated & Eat Balanced: Drinking plenty of water and consuming nutrient-rich foods helps support overall healing.
    • Monitor Healing
    Critical Reminders:
    • No Swimming/Sweating: Avoid swimming for 4 weeks to prevent black factor (pigment effect) damage.
    • Avoid Sea & Beach Activities: Do not expose your scalp to seawater during healing.
    • No Sauna & Steam Room: Heat and excessive sweating in saunas or steam rooms can affect pigment retention.
    • Diet Restrictions: Avoid spicy food, seafood, and allergy-triggering foods to reduce inflammation.
    • MRI Exams: Delay MRI scans for 2 months to prevent image interference.
    Why Following the Timeline Matters:
    • Proper Healing: Adhering to these steps ensures healing, stabilization of the black factor (pigment effect), and long-term results.
    • Risk Reduction: Friction in the acute phase can erase up to 40% of results, and improper care may increase the risk of infection.
    Final Note:
    Simulation & Stimulation is a semi-permanent procedure that requires active care. Following Dr. Steven Goh's expert guidelines and these additional aftercare tips will help maximize results and ensure a natural, long-lasting outcome.
