Please read the following statements carefully. Permanent Make-up is a way of cosmetic tattooing, intended to be semi- peprmanent lasting average 12-18 months. On a rare occasion, the pigment may migrate under the skin. Procedure of Permanent Make-up may be uncomfortable. Although extremely rare, there might be an immedi- ate or delayed allergic reaction to pigment. A negative patch test result does not guarantee that you will not develop an allergic reaction after the full procedure. Allergic reactions to anesthetic can occur. Permanent cosmetics cannot be performed if you are pregnant or nursing, or anyone under the age of 18. Infections can occur if aftercare instructions are not followed correctly. There may be swelling and redness following the procedure. You may experience minor bleeding. If you have an MRI scan within 3 months after Permanent Make-up procedure, you should notify/discuss with your doctor. Possible scarring may occur. I have received after care information and I'm fully aware of the after care procedures. I fully understand the information provided above & confirm that all information provided by me is correct and truthful.

BrowsByVj PERMANENT MAEK-UP PRE PROCEDURE ADVICE

Please read the following advice carefully and sign at the end

• Permanent Make-up procedure normally requires multiple treatment sessions. For best results, clients will be required to return for at least one re-touch appointment. This will take place 4 -6 weeks after the initial procedure. Those with oily skin may require an additional touch up. Please be aware that color intensity will be significantly darker and sharper immediately and a few days after the initial procedure, but the color will reduce by 30-50%
• Although numbing cream is used during the procedure, sensitivity or discomfort may still be felt. Skin may be red and/or swollen after the procedure
• Please wear your normal make up on the day of your procedure
• Please DO NOT drink alcohol 24 hours prior to the treatment
• Where possible, try to avoid the following herbs and spices prior to your appointment: Black pepper, Cardamom, any member of the Zingiberaceae (Ginger) family, Cayenne, Cinnamon, Garlic, Horseradish, Mustard
• Please DO NOT shape or wax your brows before the procedure. Your technician will shape brows during the procedure
• No electrolysis for at least 5 days before the procedure
• Botox, AHA products and retinoids should be avoided for 2 weeks prior to the procedure
• Exfoliating treatments such as microdermabrasion should not be performed within 2 weeks prior to procedure
• Chemical and laser peels should be avoided no less than 6 weeks prior to procedure
• Patients prone to cold sores/fever blisters should take an anti-viral prior to treatment
• Hormone therapies can affect pigmentation and/or cause sensitivity

Topical Anesthetic Advice

• Allergic reaction can occur from any anesthetics used during the procedure. If you do suffer from an allergic reaction, you should contact your doctor immediately. Allergic reaction response may show through redness, swelling, rash, blistering, dryness or any other symptoms associated with an allergic reaction.
• Numbness – We cannot accept responsibility if the area to be treated does not respond to the numbing cream. Each individual is different according to skin type. Some clients report the area to be completely numb, while others may experience some discomfort.
• Procedure – For Permanent Make-up procedure, a numbing cream/gel is used. The products are formulated to be perfectly safe and can be purchased over the counter from any pharmacy/chemist. The anesthetic is placed over the treatment area for 20-30 minutes then carefully removed prior to treatment. As a result of the treatment, combined with the use of the anesthetic, you can expect to experience some redness/swelling that can last 1-4 days. You should always follow your post procedure advice and after care for the best results.

• Pregnancy/Nursing
• Compromised skin near brow area
• Chemotherapy/Radiation
• The following medical conditions require a note from your doctor giving consent: Diabetes Type 1 and 2, high blood pressure, auto-immune disease, thyroid / Graves' disease Any other medical condition that causes slow healing or a high risk of infection

INFORMED CONSENT FOR PERMANENT MAKE-UP

I am over the age of 18, am not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, am not pregnant or nursing and desire to receive the indicated semi-permanent pigmentation procedure. The general nature of cosmetic micro-pigmentation, as well as the specific procedure to be performed, has been explained to me.

• If an unforeseen condition arises in the course of the procedure, I authorize my therapist to use his/her professional judgment to decide what he/she feels is necessary under the given circumstances. I accept the responsibility for determining the color, shape and position of the Permanent Make-up procedure as agreed during consultation. I fully understand and accept that non-toxic pigments are used during the procedure and that the result achieved may fade over a period of 1-3 years. Even once the color fades, pigment itself may stay in the skin indefinitely.
• I have been informed that the highest standards of hygiene are met and that sterile, disposable needles and pigment containers are used for each individual client, procedure and visit.
• I understand and accept that each procedure is a process requiring multiple applications of pigment to achieve desired results and that 100% success cannot be guaranteed during the first procedure. I understand that I may have to return for a repeated procedure.
• The result of the procedure can be affected by the following: medication, skin characteristics (dry, oily, sun-damaged thick or thin skin type), personal pH balance of your skin, alcohol intake and smoking, post procedure after care.
• Upon completion of the procedure there might be swelling and redness of the skin, which will subside within 1-4 days. In some cases, bruising may occur. You may resume normal activities following the procedure, however, using cosmetics, excessive perspiration and exposure to the sun should be limited until the skin has fully healed. Please see after care instructions for more details.
• I have been advised that the true color will be seen 4-6 weeks after each procedure, and that the pigment may vary according to skin tones, skin type, age and skin condition. I understand that some skin types accept pigment more readily and no guarantee on exact color can be given.
• I agree to follow all pre-procedure and post-procedure instructions as provided and explained to me by the technician. Failure to do so may jeopardize my chances for a successful procedure. I can confirm that I have received a copy of after care details.

I have been informed of the nature, risks, and possible complications and consequences of permanent skin pigmentation. I understand the permanent skin pigmentation procedure carries with it known and unknown complications and consequences associated with this type of cosmetic procedure, including but not limited to: infection, scarring, inconsistent color, and spreading, fanning or fading of pigments. I understand the actual color of the pigment may be modified slightly, due to the tone and color of my skin. I fully understand this is a tattoo process and therefore not an exact science but an art. I request the semi- permanent skin pigmentation procedure(s) and accept the permanence of this procedure as well as the possible complications and consequences of the said procedure

There is a possibility of an allergic reaction to numbing agent and/or pigments. A patch test is offered however it does not ensure a client will not have an allergic reaction. If waived, I release the technician from liability if I develop an allergic reaction to the pigment. Initial one or the other, not both:

I understand that if I have any skin treatments, injectables, laser hair removal, plastic surgery or other skin altering procedures, it may result in adverse changes to my Permanent Make-up procedure. I acknowledge some of these potential adverse changes may not be correctable.

I certify that I have read and initialed the above paragraphs and have had explained to my understanding the consent and procedure permit. I accept full responsibility for the decision to have this cosmetic semi-permanent pigmentation work done.

I give BrowsByVj permission to perform my Permanent Make-up procedure.

PERMANENT MAKE-UP FEES & POLICIES & AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS

AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow these instructions for 10-14 days after the procedure to improve and prolong the results of Everlasting Brows. If you don't follow these instructions, it can greatly affect your Permanent Make-up results!

I have applied a liquid barrier that will stay on and protect your brows. Avoid getting anything on the brows, including water, except for cleansing as directed. You may blot for the first few hours with sterile gauze to remove any excess fluids, if necessary

Cleansing: In 2-3 hours, wash lightly with slightly damp Q-tips and antibacterial or green soap (non-scented orange Dial soap is a great option). Repeat this very gently during days 1-4. When washing, it should be very gentle and with hardly any water. Do not attempt to remove the barrier film if it was applied. Allow it to come off naturally it is own time. Please avoid saturating brows with water. After the initial 3 days of washing, you may very sparingly apply balm to hydrate your brow area for dryness relief. Do not pick or rub the brows. The flakes must fall off on their own or you will risk removing the color and possibly scarring.

• Do not soak the treated area in the bath, pool or hot tub. For 30 days, refrain from swimming in salt water or chlorinated pools, saunas, hot yoga, steam rooms or sun beds.
• No exercise for 14 days. After 14 days – when exercising, wear a sweatband to avoid sweat on brow area.
• Do not expose treated area to direct sunlight. After healed (30 days), use a sunscreen to avoid fading from the sun.
• No makeup should be applied directly on the brows during the healing process.
• Do not touch, rub, pick or scratch your brows following treatment or during healing process.
• You may find that your eyebrows will scab or become slightly dry following the treatment. If they itch, DO NO SCRATCH them. You may tap them to alleviate the itch.
• If your eyebrows get wet during the healing process, pat them dry with a towel, DO NOT RUB.
• Avoid using daily skincare products directly on the eyebrows.
• If you are planning a chemical peel, or any other medical procedure, please inform therapist of the procedure you have had. Procedure should only be done once the healing process is complete.
• If you are due to give blood after the procedure, please inform your nurse about the Permanent Make-up treatment you have had as this might alter the results.
