Informing the customer before starting treatment
The customer should be fully informed about the possible risks of pigmentation
before treatment. We recommend documenting the treatment together with
details of the inks used and the needle cartridge and pigment ink batch numbers.
Customer’s state of health:
In principle, the customer should feel well and healthy before any treatment.
However, there are medical conditions that mean that treatment should not be
performed or at least should be postponed.
Health impairments that rule out treatment:
Pigmentation should not be performed if the following contraindications are
present:
Infectious diseases, a severe cold, fever, conjunctivitis, facial shingles, neuritis,
pregnancy and lactation, infections caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi, blood
coagulation disorders, skin diseases in the area to be treated (for example,
eczema, keloids, pigment spots), various skin changes, for example: warts,
moles and unstable scars in the area to be pigmented. Furthermore, pigmentation
should not be performed on persons with acute cardiovascular problems or
epilepsy. In principle, it is no problem to perform a treatment in case of HIV or
hepatitis, however, the customer is asked to inform the practitioner before the
treatment. Alcohol and drugs must not be consumed before and during the
treatment.
Performing a treatment only after consulting doctors:
In the case of the following illnesses and taking certain medications, a doctor
should be consulted before the planned treatment:
• Cancer or chemotherapy or radiation in the past twelve months
• Taking blood thinners (e.g. Marcumar, Eliquis, Aspirin), beta blockers, or
antibiotics
• Autoimmune diseases (except alopecia)
• Cardiovascular diseases or diabetes (requiring insulin)
In these cases, it is necessary to consult a doctor and seek their approval of the
treatment.
Refusing treatment
If the professional pigmentation specialist has even the slightest doubt that the
safety of the customer to be treated cannot be ensured due to comorbidities or
the current state of health, the treatment must not be performed, or it must be
stopped immediately.
Discontinuing treatment
The pigmentation should be stopped immediately in the event of:
• Excessive pain
• Severe wound secretion
• Circulatory problems, dizziness and fainting
