Although permanent make-up allergies are rare, they can occur in exceptional cases. If you have an allergy, such as hay fever, pollen allergy or eczema, permanent make-up is often a godsend. Permanent make-up is also an ideal solution if you are allergic to regular make-up. When looking at allergy to permanent make-up, it is often the pigments used lips or eyebrows that can trigger a reaction. Symptoms range from mild irritation to severe swelling and pain. Should this bother you, it is important to consult a doctor quickly. Through your GP, you can get a referral to the Tattoo Clinic, where your complaints can be further investigated. I am not a doctor and cannot treat complaints of an allergic reaction.
An allergic reaction can sometimes develop many years later. A person may have come into contact with a certain substance without any problems and then suddenly develop an allergy. Much is still unknown about how you develop an allergy in the body. There is often at least one contact moment with the substance in question before an allergy develops.
