The Importance of Hygiene and Safety Standards in SMP Training

When it comes to Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), precision and artistry are essential—but just as crucial is the commitment to hygiene and safety. At SCALPMICRO, founded by Mitchell in Edmonton, Alberta, maintaining the highest hygiene and safety standards is at the core of our training and practice. With a background in the tattoo industry since 2007, the expansion of multiple studios, and a specialization in SMP since 2020, Mitchell ensures that every aspiring SMP artist learns to prioritize client safety, infection control, and industry-leading hygiene practices.
Why Hygiene and Safety Are Essential in SMP
SMP is a non-invasive procedure, but it still involves puncturing the skin with micro-needles to deposit pigment. Without proper hygiene and safety measures, there’s a risk of infection, cross-contamination, and compromised results. At SCALPMICRO, we emphasize rigorous sanitation protocols to ensure that every client receives treatment in a sterile, safe environment.
Industry-Leading Hygiene Standards at SCALPMICRO
SCALPMICRO adheres to strict health and safety guidelines, which include:
- Single-use needles and equipment: Each session utilizes sterile, disposable needles to eliminate cross-contamination.
- Medical-grade disinfectants and sanitation protocols: Treatment areas, equipment, and workspaces are meticulously cleaned before and after every session.
- Proper glove usage and hand hygiene: Artists are trained in correct glove-changing techniques and hand hygiene to prevent any contamination.
- Controlled pigment application: Our training ensures that artists understand pigment sterilization and safe handling practices to avoid contamination.
Training in Hygiene and Safety: A Critical Part of SMP Education
At SCALPMICRO, we integrate hygiene and safety training into every step of our certification program. Under Mitchell’s expert guidance, students learn:
- The importance of a sterile work environment and how to maintain it.
