Modern medicine has developed many different ways to examine the inside of the human body.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a procedure that can be used to examine areas of the body in a detailed and precise way with slice imaging. It is one of the most gentle examination methods as, instead of X-rays, it uses a magnetic field which isn't harmful for humans, to create the images. This type of examination is being used more and more frequently because it helps doctors to make the best possible diagnosis.
Over the past few years, we have heard of many cases where doctors have had to cancel planned MRI scans because they have found out that the patient has a tattoo or permanent make-up with inks that contain iron oxide during a pre-scan consultation.
The reason for this is that the patient's body is exposed to very strong magnetic fields during an MRI scan.
Pigmentations with inks that contain iron can heat up unpleasantly during an MRI scan and can also cause rashes and minor burns in the area that they have been applied. This is because the magnets heat up the particles containing iron in the pigment inks under the skin and make them vibrate.
With pigmentation with LaBina® pigment inks, you and your clients can be safe in the knowledge that they do not contain any iron oxide.
In the event of an upcoming medical examination, you can check the ingredients of our pigments in our detailed analysis reports, which are included in the product’s accompanying papers.
