Sterilization traceability for permanent makeup in Portugal

Permanent makeup in Portugal sits within the same regulatory framework as tattoo — no specific legislation. Documented sterilization is the professional signal that distinguishes a serious studio in your client's eyes.

What the law requires of permanent makeup studios

ASAE · EU REACH 2020/2081 (PMU pigments) · APPTBP (self-regulation)

Permanent makeup (microblading, micropigmentation, dermography) in Portugal shares the regulatory framework of tattoo: no specific national legislation. EU Regulation 2020/2081 explicitly covers PMU pigments and restricts authorized chemistry. ASAE oversees the sector under consumer-safety legislation. PMU professionals who document sterilization of forceps, microblading handles, and accessory instruments build a direct trust signal with the client and protect their reputation in a sector where a single infection — through social media or review platforms — can destroy the business.

No specific national legislation · EU Regulation 2020/2081 (REACH, Annex XVII) · Decreto-Lei 73/2011 (clinical waste, applied by analogy)
