The contra actions that may occur during and following micropigmentation treatments

Excess erythema – Erythema is a health condition caused by capillary dilation under your skin due to excessive blood and inflammation. This skin condition is typically marked by a red rash. And a very common cause of erythema skin redness is sunburn.

Burning – A burning sensation is a particular type of pain distinct from dull, stabbing, or aching pains. Often, a burning kind of pain is related to nerves, but there are many other potential causes. Injuries, natural wear and tear, infections, and autoimmune disorders all have the potential to cause nerve damage and pain.

Bruising – Bruises are bluish or purple-coloured patches that appear on the skin when tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, break or burst underneath. The blood from the capillary’s leaks into the soft tissue under your skin, causing discolouration. Over time, this fades through shades of yellow or green.

Migration of pigmentation – This is the migration of pigment between the layers of the skin, leaving dark spots or uneven blotches; this occurs when the pigment has been incorrectly implanted.

Oedema – Oedema is the medical term for fluid retention in the body. The build-up of fluid causes affected tissue to become swollen. The swelling can occur in one particular part of the body, e.g., as the result of an injury or treatments.

Allergic reaction – An allergy is an adverse reaction that the body has to a particular food or substance in the environment.
