This is an informed consent form that has been prepared to help inform you of the potential benefits and risks of semi-permanent makeup (SPMU). It is important that you read this information carefully and discuss fully with your practitioner before proceeding with treatment.

 

INTRODUCTION: Semi-Permanent Makeup (SPMU) is a field of aesthetic practice that encompasses microblading, micropigmentation and cosmetic tattooing.

 

Micropigmentation and cosmetic tattooing however require a specialist tattoo machine to apply pigment. These treatments result in permanent cosmetic results and pigments fade less quickly than microblading. Common areas that are treated include:

 

- Eyebrow tattoo – to enhance or restore colour, fullness, shape and hairstrokes.

- Lip blush – to shade and colour the lips and reduce the need for makeup use.

- Shaded eyeliner – to shade and colour the eyelid margin and reduce the need for makeup use.

 

TREATMENT: Before your treatment appointment you will receive a consultation. At this appointment, your practitioner will ascertain your goals and desired expectations, help choose a pigment with you that matches your skin tone, they will check you are medically safe to have the treatment and may draw up a mock shape e.g. for eyebrows. This way you can agree on the shape and style before going ahead.

 

SPMU can be painful, you will have a local anaesthetic cream applied before the procedure which will help minimise any discomfort. The SPMU procedure will take various time periods depending on complexity, body part, treatment aim and individual factors.

 

A £50 non-refundable booking fee is required on booking, which is deducted from the cost of the treatment.

 

Client must inform the clinic if they have had Cosmetic tattooing done before. For refreshes of cosmetic tattooing done elsewhere the artist need to see them first and you’ll be advised on an individual basis. Only if they faded to barely anything will carry out a refresh and a full treatment will be provided.

 

It is also important that you take as much time as you need to consider the treatment carefully, weighing up all your options before reaching an informed decision.  It is essential that you are aware of your right to have a second opinion and you are encouraged to ask any questions that come to mind throughout the entirety of the process.

 

RESULTS: Results vary between clients and results are dependent on many individual factors. I understand and accept that each procedure is a process requiring multiple applications of pigment to achieve desired results and that 100% success cannot be guaranteed during the first procedure. More than one treatment is usually required to achieve or maintain desired results, most people require at least 2 treatments as a minimum.

 

 

RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS: As with any procedure there are potential risks and complications associated. You must be aware of all the following risks before proceeding with SPMU treatment. You must fully discuss any questions with your practitioner.

 

Common complications and risks include: pain or discomfort either during or after the procedure. It is common for the skin of the eyebrow area to appear red and swollen afterwards, you also may have some minor bleeding, bruising or scabbing, these effects can last up to 14 days but may last longer, it takes up to 6-8 weeks for SPMU tattoos to heal.

 

Uncommon complications and risks include: Skin infection (cellulitis) which can present as hot, red, shiny skin, there may be pus and you may also feel generally unwell. Infection is uncommon especially if you follow the aftercare advice. In the event of infection, you must see your doctor as soon as possible. For lip blush tattoos these can sometimes trigger reactivation of cold sores (herpes simplex virus infection). Some people may faint or feel faint with needles, if you feel unwell during treatment you must inform your practitioner as soon as possible. Other uncommon risks include poor cosmetic result, lack of result, rapid fading of colour, inconsistent colour and fanning or spreading of pigment. Cosmetic tattoo pigments can often be permanent, despite the term semi-permanent makeup. They are not easily removed and in the event of poor cosmetic result you may require correctional treatment or even tattoo removal such as laser. You must also inform your doctor or radiologist if you require an MRI scan following microblading as problems can occur with tattooed skin during the scan.

 

Rare complications and risks include: unsightly hypertrophic or keloid scarring, delayed inflammatory nodule (granuloma) formation, skin reaction to local anaesthetic cream and allergic reaction. Despite a normal patch test, allergic reactions are still possible to the tattoo pigments. Allergy can present as swelling, red rash and sometimes blistering, however rarely anaphylactic reactions can occur. In the event of an anaphylactic reaction, you would need emergency medical attention. In the case of severe allergic or inflammatory reaction permanent scarring may result.

 

For eyeliner SPMU procedure there is a rare risk of eye injury which may include corneal abrasions or corneal scarring (which may lead to visual impairment). Eye infection or inflammation is also possible. In the event of any eye complications, you must seek urgent medical attention. Eye drops may be used before and after the treatment to help protect your eyes.

 

 

Several appointments may be necessary to produce optimal results and will be notified, in advance of each session of treatment, about the location where the next treatment session is going to take place and the identity of who is going to be involved in my care at each stage.

 

True colour will be seen about 1 month after each procedure, and that the pigment may vary per skin tones, skin type, age and skin condition. Some skin types accept pigment more readily and no guarantee on exact colour can be given. Actual colour of the pigment may be modified slightly, due to the tone and colour of my skin.

 

Non-toxic pigments are used during the procedure and that the result achieved may fade over a period of 1-3 years. Even once the colour fades, pigment itself may stay in the skin indefinitely. There are no guarantees however on the success or longevity of SPMU treatment.

AFTERCARE

SEMI PERMANENT MAKEUP (SPMU) AFTERCARE

The following aftercare advice is essential to help reduce the risk of treatment

complications, to improve your comfort/healing and to help achieve the best possible

results from treatment.

Please follow the aftercare advice for semi-permanent makeup (SPMU) treatment.

• Avoid soaps and cleaners to the treated area for the first 2 weeks, these can

remove pigment. Instead wipe the treated area with a cotton pad and cool boiled

water which is sterile.

• Avoid picking, scratching, scrubbing or peeling the treated area to avoid scarring.
• Avoid sun exposure until the healing process is complete. Wear sun block cream

and for eyeliner SPMU wear sunglasses. Sunbeds should also be avoided.

• Keep the treated area clean and dry.
• Avoid strenuous exercise while the area is healing as excess sweating can

remove pigment.

• Avoid using cosmetic and skincare products to the treated area.
• Avoid makeup to the treated area, makeup can potentially distort the colour and

increase the risk of infection afterwards in the treatment area. For eyeliner eye

shadow makeup can be applied carefully above the implanted line, be careful not

to interfere with the treated area. Mascara can be applied carefully to the eyelash

tips only.

• For eyeliner avoid contact lenses and use glasses instead for 2 weeks.
• Avoid hot showers, baths, saunas and steam rooms as these will cause sweating

which can remove pigment.

• Avoid swimming as chlorinated water can potentially remove pigment.
• Apply the aftercare cream as advised by your practitioner.
• The complete healing process can take 6-8 weeks, however colour remaining

after 2 weeks will be long lasting.

• You must seek medical attention and contact your practitioner if you experience

any signs or symptoms of infection after treatment. Infection can present as hot,

red shiny skin, there may be pus formation and you may have a fever or feel

generally unwell.

• You must seek emergency medical attention if you experience any severe allergy

symptoms after treatment. Symptoms may include rash, facial swelling and

breathing difficulties.

• Contact your practitioner as soon as possible if you notice any other unwanted

side effects.

• Your practitioner will advise you when future treatment appointments and/ or top

up appointments are required. If you are advised to attend a follow up

appointment, please do make every effort to attend them. You should do this even

if you believe that the recovery process is going well and you cannot see that there

are any visible complications.
