Treatment Information
Permanent makeup (PMU) is a cosmetic tattooing procedure designed to enhance the appearance of brows, lips or eyeliner by implanting pigment into the skin.
While permanent makeup can create long-lasting enhancement, results may vary depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, health conditions and adherence to aftercare instructions.
Consultation and Suitability
All treatments carried out by PMU Dorset require a consultation prior to the procedure. During this consultation, we will:
Discuss your treatment goals
Assess suitability for treatment
Review your medical history
Explain the procedure, healing process and aftercare
In some cases, treatment may not be suitable or may need to be postponed.
Medical Disclosure
Clients must disclose any relevant medical conditions, medications, allergies, skin conditions or previous cosmetic procedures before treatment.
Failure to provide accurate medical information may affect the safety and results of the procedure.
PMU Dorset reserves the right to refuse treatment where it is considered unsuitable or unsafe.
Treatment Results
Every effort is made to achieve the most natural and balanced result possible.
However:
Results may vary from person to person
Healing outcomes differ depending on skin type and lifestyle
Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired result
Colour and shape may soften during the healing process
A top-up appointment is usually recommended to refine and perfect the treatment.
Risks and Healing
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects which may include:
Redness or swelling
Minor tenderness
Uneven healing or pigment retention
Allergic reactions (rare)
Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to support the healing process.
Aftercare Responsibility
Following the correct aftercare is essential for optimal healing and results.
Clients are responsible for following the aftercare guidance provided by PMU Dorset. Failure to follow aftercare instructions may affect the final outcome of the treatment.
Liability
By booking a treatment with PMU Dorset, clients acknowledge that they understand the nature of the procedure and the potential healing process involved.
