Possible Risks, Hazards, and Compilations
Transform Your Look with Branded Beauty Permanent Cosmetics Permanent Makeup
- Use of Anesthetics: Topical anesthetics are used to numb the area to be tattooed. Lidocaine, Prilocaine, Benzocaine, Tetracaine and/or Epinephrine creams and/or liquids are used. Please advise me if you are allergic.
- Pain: There can be pain even after the topical anesthetic had been used. Anesthetics work better on some people than on others.
- Swelling and/or Bruising: Some people bruise or swell more than others. Ice packs may help reduce the swelling. The swelling/bruising typically disappears in 1-5 days. Some people don’t swell or bruise at all.
- Infection: Infection is very unusual. The areas treated must be kept clean and only freshly cleaned hands should touch the treated area. See “After Care” sheet for instructions on care.
- Allergic Reactions: Allergic Reactions are very rare. A reaction could be from topical anesthetics, mapping cosmetics, PMU pigments or aftercare products. A list of all allergies and skin sensitivities needs to be provided. If an allergic reaction should occur: discontinue aftercare ointments, contact your primary care physician and me @580-704-6052. For anaphylactic, seek emergency care.
- Uneven Pigmentation: This can result from poor healing, infection, bleeding, picking or many other causes. Independent results vary upon age, skin condition and lifestyle. Your follow-up appointment will likely correct any uneven appearance.
- Asymmetry: Every effort will be made to avoid asymmetry, but our faces are not symmetrical so adjustments may be needed at the follow up session to correct any unevenness.
- Healing: Complete healing takes place 4-6 weeks after initial procedure. You must have realistic expectations. Do not expect to have perfectly healed looking brows/liner/lips immediately after procedure. Expect darker, bolder, and thicker. Do not be alarmed your tattoo will heal beautifully during the healing phase (4-6 weeks) with proper homecare.
- This is a Cosmetic Tattoo Procedure, the alternative to the listed possibilities is to use traditional cosmetics and NOT undergo this procedure. Cosmetic tattooing is considered SEMI-permanent and will need regular touch-ups to stay fresh.
- Cosmetic tattooing is an art not a science. Your initial 6-10 week touch up is included (minor adjustments only, complete change in shape will require additional fee)
