Semi permanent make up is a form of tattooing also called Micropigmentation. Re-touch procedures are nearly always required following the initial procedure; please note this is a two stage treatment process, retention holds much stronger following the retouch. A minimum healing

period of four / six weeks is required before a re-touch procedure can be performed depending on age and skin type.

A healed result can be seen 4-6 weeks after the treatment. Retention of pigment depends on many factors including, skin type, age of client, adhering to aftercare procedure, lifestyle, sun exposure, medication and vitamins.

On rare occasions the pigment may migrate under the skin particularly if very oily based skin type or open pours. Therefore the treatment will give a more ‘powdered’

look and may have less retention. Old scaring may act like ‘dead skin’ for the ink and often times do not hold pigment.

Application of permanent cosmetics can be painful. The pigments will fade over time which may vary with each client. Immediately after the procedure, the pigment can be 30 to 50% darker than the desired result.

There may be immediate or delayed allergic reaction to pigments. However, allergic reactions are extremely rare. A negative allergy test result will not guarantee that you will not have an allergic reaction. Allergic reactions to anaesthetics can occur.

Permanent cosmetics cannot be applied to pregnant women or breast-feeding mothers. Permanent cosmetics cannot be applied to any person under the age of 18.

Infections can occur if aftercare instructions are not followed correctly. There may be swelling and redness following the procedure. You may experience minor bleeding. It is recommended that clients receiving treament for eyeliner should have someone drive them home. Corneal abrasion may occur during eyeliner procedures. However, corneal abrasion is rare.

Clients receiving lip procedures who have had previous problems with cold sores/herpes may have an outbreak following the procedure. Anti herpes medication is available over the counter or on prescription and has been shown to prevent or minimize such outbreaks. Lip procedures may appear dry and flaky for up to one week following the procedure.

If you have an MRI scan within 3 months of your permanent cosmetics procedure we recommend that you discuss this with your doctor. Possible scarring, inconsistency of colour and loss of eyelashes may occur. It is normal for the top layer to flake off, DO NOT PICK, as you will rip off the deeper layers of pigment with it and it will have no retention.

YOU MUST WAIT IF YOU RECENTLY HAD:

- EYE SURGERY… If you have had Lasik, Cornea repair etc. you will need to wait at least 6 months before permanent makeup procedure on your eyes (eyeliner) - - You must be off Retin-A or Retinols 7 days prior to appointment and avoid or or around the area for 30 days after. If used before 30 days, it can cause the pigments to fade prematurely. - - SCARS from surgery or injury must be healed for at least one year prior to service.

You know the state of your health better than anyone. If you have any medical issues that you feel might be a contraindication, then we suggest you get clearance from your doctor.

PREGNANT or NURSING – Although there are no medical evidence that tattooing would have any effect on an unborn child, we don’t know for sure. So we suggest you err on the side of caution and come back after the baby is born and you are no longer nursing.

Patients who have epilepsy, diabetes (type 1), hemophilia or a hart disease of any kind should have a physicians approval prior to any tattooing procedure

UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE

ON ACCUTANE, RETIN A – Topical steroids thin the skin.Depending on the stage your skin is at, it may be too fragile to undergo procedure. You should get clearance from your doctor before considering permanent make-up.

ON PRESCRIPTION STRENGTH MEDICATION OR TREATMENTS…that affect the dermal layer of the skin can affect the permanent make-up.

ON ANTICOAGULATIONS…(blood thinners) long term use of asprin, ibuprofen and some herbs reduce clotting time resulting in increased bleeding and bruising, which will affect the implantation of pigment as well as increase the healing time.

HAVE AN AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE… You should get clearance from your doctor before considering permanent make-up.

DIABEDIC (type 1)…If you are insulin dependent, you are not a candidate for permanent make-up. Healing could be compromised and take longer than average. Otherwise, if your doctor feels your condition is under control you may request a letter stating that you are able to undergo cosmetic tattooing.

HAVE GLAUCOMA…You may not have eyeliner. Increased intra ocular pressure combined with pressure placed on the eye to apply eyeliner could be damaging. It is important to have this condition under control and/or refer to your physician for further consent to the application of eyeliner.

BLOOD DISORDERS… that affect clotting such as hemophillia, sickle cell anemia and platelet disorders could interfere with implantation of pigment, however it is possible to receive successful implantation of permanent cosmetics.

HAVE ANY OTHER HEART CONDITIONS… uncontrolled high blood pressure and poor general health would be special concern, you will need to see your physician and discuss the procedure to gain pre-approval.

HERPES SIMPLEX… People who get fever blisters and/or cold sores may experience an outbreak after procedures. It’s imperative that you discuss the procedure with your doctor before the procedure and receive proper instructions how to prevent an outbreak post procedure. Most physicians will offer a prescription for Zovirax or Valtrex to take prior to and after procedure.

KELOID OR HYPERTHOPHIC SCARRING…Persons with tendencies for this type of scarring have the same risk with tattoo also.The risk is mainly in the torso area, however, we may decide to do a patch test to insure that you do not scar in this manor.

If there are any blemishes, pimples, active cold sores, irritation of the skin of any kind, moles or other skin imperfections in or around the area of the procedure, Piret will NOT be able to do the procedure until the blemish or area of concern is gone or the mole is removed and healed.
