Almost every time I have a consultation with a potential customer, I’m asked whether someone can get an infection or contract a disease from a permanent makeup procedure.
The short answer is: no, not from the procedure itself.
Unless you apply makeup to freshly treated skin before it has healed or touch the area with dirty hands during the healing process, there is very little risk of infection.
The reason is simple: everything that comes into contact with your skin is either single-use and disposable or protected with barrier film. Needles, cartridges, and other consumables are discarded after every client. Anything that is not disposable is covered and protected to prevent cross-contamination.
Infection control is one of the most important parts of my profession. Proper sanitation, disposable supplies, barrier protection, and following aftercare instructions are all designed to keep the procedure safe and minimize the risk of contamination, infection, or disease transmission.
And frankly, it’s not just your health that I care about—it’s mine, too. Of course I want my customers to be safe because that’s what a good service provider does. But selfishly, I also want to protect myself, I have zero interest in bringing home anyone’s germs, infections, or diseases. So you can be absolutely sure that cleanliness and sanitation are taken very seriously in my studio.
In other words, your brows, lips, or eyeliner are much more likely to be annoyed by you picking at them during healing than by anything happening during the appointment itself. 😉
If you’ve been thinking about permanent makeup but have questions about the process, safety, or healing, reach out. And if you’re ready to reinvent your morning routine, book your brows, lips, or eyeliner appointment—I would love to help.
