Treatment Information
Your Guide to a Safe and Informed PMU Experience!
As part of our commitment to your safety and satisfaction, we invite you to explore essential information before scheduling your Permanent Makeup appointment.
Disclaimer for Previous PMU Work
ā
We appreciate your trust in our Permanent Makeup services. To ensure the best possible outcome and cater to your unique needs, we kindly request clients with existing PMU work from another artist to schedule a free consultation before booking any services.
During this consultation, we will assess your current PMU situation, discuss your desired results, and provide personalized recommendations. This precautionary step is aimed at understanding your specific requirements and tailoring our services to achieve the most satisfactory results.
At House of PMU, our goal is to enhance your natural beauty and ensure your utmost satisfaction with our services. We look forward to assisting you on your beauty journey.
Contradictions
Skin Conditions
If you have a skin condition like eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris and dermatitis your skin is in a constant state of unrest and shedding and therefore won’t hold the pigment very well.
ā
The same goes for conditions like chronic acne and rosacea. The inherent nature of this type of skin causes easy bleeding, which once again means your skin will not retain the colour properly.
ā
If you have been taking acne medications such as accutane or retin-a within the last year you have an altered skin condition that will not heal well after the procedure. It’s very important that you wait a year before tattooing the skin. Retinol and vitamin a are very similar and should be discontinued to use a month prior to the procedure.
ā
Excessively oily skin is unsuitable for eyebrow feathering as the strokes will blur together and give off an unwanted solid effect instead of a naturally feathered look. An ombre treatment may be suitable for these clients.
ā
Deep wrinkles can make the overall look appear uneven and we cannot guarantee results in this skin type.
Moles, bumps, and any raised skin will also be unable to retain the pigment.
ā
Unfortunately, cosmetic tattooing is not suitable if you’re prone to keloid scarring.
It is important to not be sunburnt for your procedure.
ā
You cannot have any skin treatments done 4 weeks either side of your cosmetic tattoo treatment.
If you had permanent makeup done previously you will need to send a clear close-up photo of your existing tattoo to determine if we can work with your existing tattoo or if you need to consider removal prior to the procedure.
ā
ā
Medical conditions and medications
ā
You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
ā
If you have diabetes, haemophilia or a heart condition it is absolutely not recommended that you get any form of permanent, make up done as this puts you in a high-risk position.
ā
If you’re undergoing chemotherapy you will have to wait until your treatment is finished. It is recommended to wait 12 months and you will require a letter from your doctor confirming it is safe to proceed.
ā
Trichotillomania can cause scar tissue in the skin to be prominent, which does not allow the colour to heal properly.
ā
Accutane/retin-a - if you have been taking acne medications such as accutane or retin-a within the last year you have an altered skin condition that will not heal well after the procedure. It’s very important that you wait a year before tattooing the skin. Retinol and vitamin a are very similar and should be discontinued to use a month prior to the procedure.
ā
Eyelash and eyebrow growth serums bring extra circulation to the area which results in more growth of hair/lashes. This can cause the skin in that area to be hypersensitive and bleed easily. It is recommended to discontinue the use of these products at least 3-6 months before your treatment.
ā
For LIP Blush if your appointment is booked during an outbreak of cold sores on your lips the procedure cannot be done.
ā
Please be aware that if you have the herpes simplex virus, the LIP BLUSH treatment may trigger an outbreak. If you have this virus it is absolutely essential to take an anti-viral medication such as Zovirax 5 days before, on the day of, and 5 days after your treatment or as advised by your doctor or pharmacist
