I understand that permanent cosmetic/medical enhancement is an advanced form of tattooing.
I accept responsibility for determining the shape and position of the enhancement as agreed during the course of my consultation.
I am aware that allergic responses to pigment is rare and accept all responsibility if allergic response occurs.
I am aware that a sensitivity reaction to anaesthetics can occur and accept all responsibility if allergic response occurs.
I fully understand and accept that non-toxic pigments are used during the procedure and that the cosmetic enhancement achieved may fade over the course of 1-3 years. Even though the colour has faded, the pigment will stay in the skin indefinitely and may leave a light residue of colour. I understand that permanent make up can leave the micro scars.
I understand and accept that each procedure is a process which may require multiple applications of pigment to achieve desirable results, and that 100% success cannot be guaranteed. I understand that this is why I need to return for a retouch.
I understand that the retouch procedure, if required, will be performed 6-12 weeks after the initial procedure and that I will be charged an additional fee for this. I understand that a retouch procedure takes place 6-12 weeks after the initial application to allow the procedure site to fully heal. I understand that it is my responsibility to book the appointment when it is convenient for both parties.
I am aware that the result of the procedure is determined by the following:
Medication. Skin Characteristics - i.e. dry/oily/sun-damaged. Natural skin undertones. Alcohol intake and smoking. A compromised immune system. Post procedure care treatment. Usage of harsh chemicals on brow area, i.e. AHAs or bleaching & lightening products.
I have been advised that upon completion of the procedure there may be swelling and redness of the skin, which will subside within 1-4 days dependent on lifestyle. In some cases bruising can occur. I have been advised that I can resume normal activities immediately following the procedure, however, using cosmetics, prolonged exposure to water, any exercises and exposure to the sun should be stopped for up to two weeks following the treatment.
I understand that immediately after the procedure the enhancement can be 30 to 50% darker than the desired result and can take between 4-10 days to lighten. I understand that the true colour will be visible 1 month after each application, and that the colour may vary according to skin tones, skin type, age and skin conditions. I appreciate that some skins accept colour more readily than others and no guarantee of an exact effect or colour can be given.
I understand that if I do not allow the technician to complete the procedure, I accept all responsibilities for the result.
For the purpose of documentation, I also consent to the taking of "before" and "after" photographs or videos of said procedure(s).
I absolutely understand that micropigmentation is an art process, and is not an exact science and that every client heals differently. I understand that this is an elective procedure and is not medically necessary.
I confirm I will strictly adhere to the typed after-care instructions handed to me, and only use the after-care products given. I understand that complications are possible, particularly if post-procedure aftercare instructions are not followed and if I get an infection post-procedure I will visit my Doctor immediately and accept that it could be due to the fact that I do not live in sterile conditions.
