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:
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.
