SPMU CONSULTATION RECORD
Semi-Permanent Make Up, also known as Micropigmentation is a procedure that can only be performed by a trained and qualified specialist using approved equipment to implant coloured pigments into the skin using sterile needles. The treatment requires your full consent and medical history disclosure so that your consultant can confirm you are a suitable candidate for the proposed treatment.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY – PLEASE SIGN WHERE INDICATED, ONLY when you are happy to proceed. Ensure all points below have been discussed with your consultant and you understand and accept these terms.
Terms of your treatment:
• You have chosen a cosmetic procedure that is not medically necessary and results are not guaranteed.
• SPMU is an art process, not an exact science - and cannot guarantee an exact colour result due to how colours can heal differently in all individuals. The selected colour will be darker immediately after treatment. This darker colour should exfoliate and lighten within 7-14 days after treatment. Lighter colours fade faster than darker colours, and all colours can change with time.
• You will be required to return for a top up 5-7 weeks after the initial treatment which will deem your brows complete. I understand that sometimes a second touch up session is required to achieve the desired result at the normal top up charge.
• Your consultant will use a treatment plan to record the colours, needles used and pre and post treatment photographs. This information will be held securely in your consultation record.
• The skin type of every client is different and annual top ups are recommended. Please note that some clients will need another 6 week top up after the annual top up depending on how well the treatment has held.
• After each treatment some swelling or redness may occur, in some cases there may be bruising.
Throughout the treatment you may experience some discomfort, but your consultant will reassure you throughout and endeavor to make you feel comfortable.
• Pigments used in Semi Permanent Make Up contain iron oxides which differ to the inks used in tattooing. Please note that iron oxides can leave an orange stain in the skin overtime.
• It is essential that if you ever have an MRI or a CAT scan you should inform the radiologist that you have had micropigmentation. You may experience some tingling in the treated area but this will not hinder or affect anything.
• You must adhere to aftercare instructions given to you after your treatment. This is very important and will ensure you aren’t vulnerable to infections after leaving the clinic. You must let the treated area heal properly. Avoid picking, plucking or knocking as this will hinder the healing process and could make the treatment appear uneven thus requiring further work.
• Be aware that skin altering procedures such as plastic surgery, implants and injectables may alter the Semi Permanent Make Up look.
