Important information
Micropigmentation (known as Semi Permanent Make Up) is a procedure which should only be carried out by a trained specialist using approved equipment to implant quality coloured pigments into the skin using sterile needles. All treatments require your full consent and a medical history disclosure, we will need to be sure that you are a suitable candidate for our proposed procedure.
Semi Permanent Make Up is a process that may require more than the two procedures to achieve the desired result. Further applications will be chargeable at the discretion of the practitioner. If a stronger look is required through personal preference, this will be chargeable. It is extremely important that you adhere to your Aftercare Instructions to ensure that you are not vulnerable to infection once you have left the environment of the clinic. If a treated area is picked, pulled or accidentally knocked, not only is it more susceptible to infection it will effect the healed result, the pigment could migrate outside of the treated area, therefore appear uneven and require more work, for which there will be an extra charge.
We will describe the benefits and risks of your proposed treatment and record your consultation on a form. This form will be used for reference and referred to on subsequent visits. All forms must be signed by both the client and the practitioner in order to proceed.
We will discuss what the procedure is likely to involve and subsequent treatments. You will be given After Care Information verbally and you will be furnished with a hard copy to take home. Additionally you will be sent an email of the same.
Semi Permanent Make Up is a process that will require more than one application to achieve the desired result. A second application, 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment, is included in the cost of the original procedure. Single applications are not available for any new treatments. Unattended appointments within 8 weeks will be chargeable. Further applications will be fully charged after 10 weeks, by this time the base pigment will have been fully absorbed deep into the epidermis and the process will have to start again.
There can be no guarantee that correctional work undertaken by us from other technicians will only require one treatment or even work. Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that any refresh treatments taken on by Us from other technicians will be compatible to the precious pigments used by Us and will therefore possibly require several procedures and each treatment will be chargeable.
TERMS OF TREATMENT
- You have chosen a procedure, which is not medically necessary.
- Micro pigmentation is an art process, not an exact science, and cannot guarantee you an exact colour result, as colours heal differently in all individuals. The elected colour will be darker immediately after the treatment. This darker colour should exfoliate and lighten up to at least 50% within 7/14 days. Lighter colours fade faster than darker colours, and all colours will change with time.
- You may need to return for additional treatments before your procedure is deemed complete. The payment for additional work – if applicable will be agreed prior to any work commencing. Additional work cannot be carried out for 4 – 8 weeks, to allow the area to heal fully. Colour will continue to change up to a period of 13 weeks.
- We will keep a Treatment Plan to keep a log of the colours you have chosen, as well as anaesthetic, and needles used, along with your pre and post treatment photographs. This information will be held securely in your Consultation Record.
- The skin type of every client is different and colour should stay visible in the skin for several years (and in some cases indefinitely). The ingredient iron oxide in the pigment will be present permanently but will not necessarily be visible. A re-touch procedure will be required periodically to keep the procedure looking fresh. This is dependant on age, skin type and chosen colour.
- After each treatment the treated area will swell and distort. This should settle with 2 – 3 days following the treatment. Immediately following the treatment a white hue will be visible or show redness and, in some cases, bruising, We will recommend how to take care of this. You may experience some discomfort but you will be reassured throughout and we will endeavour to make you feel comfortable.
- Pigments are made from iron oxides and are not the same as tattoo inks, therefore compatibility is questionable.
- It is important to note that if you have an MRI or CAT scan you must tell the radiologist that you have had a cosmetic/medical tattoo. You may experience a slight tingling in the treated area.
CANCELLATION CHARGES
Once an appointment is scheduled any cancellations of more than 7 days before the appointment (including refresh, colour boosts or consultations) will be subject to an administration charge of 10% of the total treatment cost. This will be deducted from your deposit and the balance will be refunded onto the credit/debit card provided upon booking.
Cancellations of 3 – 7 working days’ notice will be subject to 50% of the total treatment cost. Likewise this will be deducted from your credit/debit card.
Cancellations of less than 24 hours notice will be subject to 100% of the treatment cost and the full balance will be deducted from the credit/debit card provided upon booking.
All bookings made at short notice (three days or less) are charged at the time of the booking at the full cost of treatment and are non-refundable.
All unattended appointments will be charged 100% of the treatment cost.
Fully paid unattended 2nd procedures will be charged an extra £50 (AED250)
Re-scheduling: We reserve the right to politely request one week’s notice to help us accommodate another client. There will be a re-booking fee of £100 (AED500) per individual procedure for treatments re-scheduled at short notice (3 days or less). There will be a re-booking fee of £50 (AED250) for consultations re-scheduled at short notice as above. We ask that you arrive prior to your scheduled visit so that you do not compromise your reserved appointment time. We will make every endeavour to accommodate late arrivals however no guarantees can be made that this will always be possible. Appointments cancelled at that point are fully chargeable. We rarely re-schedule appointments, however, we reserve the right to do so. We have a policy of not issuing any forms of compensation for re-scheduled appointments. Clients who have booked without prior consultation agree that, should they decide for any reason not to go ahead with treatments, the full appointment costs will be charged. We do not take responsibility for any medical conditions that have not been disclosed prior to your appointment that may prevent the treatment from taking place. We reserve the right to refuse treatment at any stage during the first or the second procedure at no refund. We reserve the right to update prices without prior notice. All appointments booked (including refresh, colour boosts or consultations) require a £50 (AED250) deposit at the time of booking with the balance due on the day of your appointment. Saturday appointments require payment in full upon booking. Any discrepancies with deposits or balance payments must be resolved either at the time of booking or at your appointment.
We are confident that we will exceed your expectations.
