Sterilisation traceability for permanent makeup professionals in the United Kingdom

Semi-permanent skin colouring — including microblading and dermopigmentation — is regulated under the same legislation as tattooing. SecuSteri provides the digital sterilisation record your registration requires.

Permanent makeup regulation in the UK

Local authority Environmental Health Officers · Local authority licensing (Wales)

Semi-permanent skin colouring (permanent makeup, microblading, dermopigmentation) was added to the scope of tattoo and piercing legislation by the Local Government Act 2003 in England, the 2005 amendment in Northern Ireland, and the 2006 Order in Scotland. In Wales, the Public Health (Wales) Act 2017 explicitly includes semi-permanent makeup under the mandatory licensing scheme — practitioners must hold the Level 2 IPC qualification. Reusable dermograph handpieces and microblading holders must be sterilised between clients. Registration or licensing is mandatory across all four nations.

LGA 2003, Section 120 (England) · Public Health (Wales) Act 2017, Part 4 · Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 + SSI 2006/43 · LG (NI) Order 2005, Art. 31
