Information to be passed onto the customer
Planning the treatment
We recommend that you inform the customer of the following points even before
treatment:
• LaBina
®
needle cartridges are made of stainless steel, which contains a small
amount of nickel. LaBina
®
is not aware of any case so far where pigmenting
using these needles has caused allergic reactions. However, it cannot
guarantee this as no studies have been carried out. Therefore, people with a
nickel allergy are advised to talk to their doctor or, in case of doubt, refrain
from treatment.
• After treatment, the treated area should not be touched and should be
protected from contamination and sunlight. Visits to swimming pools and
saunas, hair removal or chemical and abrasive peels should also be avoided.
Self-tanning products may only be applied after a few days. We recommend
waiting a few days before applying creams, lotions and oils.
• Swelling or redness is to be expected in the treated areas for two to three
days. If this lasts longer, a doctor should be consulted.
• If the customer is prone to herpes infections, a doctor should be consulted
to clarify whether a prophylaxis two to three days before the treatment is
appropriate.
• The customer should avoid household tasks such as cleaning garages and
cellars, where contamination with dirt and germs is possible.
• With all treatments the fresh drawing looks roughly one shade more intense
than agreed on together before the treatment. This lasts for 3 to 5 days due
to the scab. The reason for this is that in the first few days after the beauty
treatment excess ink remains in the dry, absorbent top layer of the skin. But it
gradually drops off. The inks only shimmer subtly through the skin once a new
top layer has formed over the embedded pigments after about a week when
the maximum natural colour effect then develops.
• In Germany, the following applies: If medical costs arise as a result of the
treatment, these are to be met by the customer themselves. If a permanent
make-up treatment results in medical treatment, the statutory health insurance
companies may require their members to contribute to the costs on the basis
of Article 52 II SGB V (German Social Insurance Code). This states: “If insured
persons have contracted a disease through a medically unnecessary aesthetic
operation, tattoo or piercing, the health insurance company shall contribute
an appropriate amount to the costs and shall refuse or recover the sickness
benefit in whole or in part for the duration of this treatment.”
