Contraindications

Permanent makeup is not right for everyone at every moment. In some situations the treatment has to be postponed or cannot be done. Please read this before you book, and tell us about your health, medication and allergies in advance — we decide together whether the treatment is suitable.

The treatment is not done

• During pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
• For clients under 18.

The treatment may need to be postponed

• Active cold sores (herpes) on or near the lips, before a lip treatment.
• Irritated or broken skin on the treatment area — active acne, eczema, dermatitis, sunburn or a recent injury.
• Recent injections or cosmetic procedures near the area, such as botox or fillers.
• Recent or current use of isotretinoin (for example Roaccutane).

Please tell us in advance if you have

• Diabetes, an autoimmune condition, a blood-clotting disorder, or take blood-thinning medication.
• Ongoing or recent cancer treatment.
• A tendency to keloid scarring, or recent surgery near the area.
• Known allergies — for example to pigments, hair dye, metals or local anaesthetics.

In these situations we may ask you to consult your doctor first.
