About CCPM
A national body for a discipline that deserves one
CCPM is being developed as Canada's certifying body, standards leader, and educational home for restorative paramedical micropigmentation — clearly distinct from the cosmetic permanent makeup industry.
Protecting the public and elevating the profession.
We establish and uphold a national standard for restorative paramedical micropigmentation, so that people healing from cancer, surgery, trauma, congenital conditions, and skin disorders can access safe, dignified, competent care.
VisionRestorative micropigmentation recognized as clinical care.
A Canada where restorative micropigmentation is understood, regulated, and integrated into the healthcare journey — not confused with cosmetic beauty services.
Public Protection
Our first duty is to the people who receive restorative care. Standards exist to keep them safe.
Clinical Rigour
We treat micropigmentation as a health discipline governed by evidence, not trends.
Dignity & Empathy
Trauma-informed care is not optional; it is woven through every standard we set.
National Consistency
One standard, coast to coast, so care does not depend on where a person lives.
Beyond the pigment is a person. Beyond the technique is a responsibility.
Led by clinicians, survivors, and educators.
Board of Directors
Provides strategic direction and fiduciary oversight, composed of practitioners, healthcare professionals, and public members.
Standards & Ethics Committee
Develops the standards of practice and code of ethics, and reviews public complaints under a confidential procedure.
Education & Certification Committee
Sets certification requirements, approves curriculum, and oversees continuing competency.
Advisory Council
Includes oncology, plastic surgery, dermatology, and survivor advocates to keep the standard clinically grounded.
Help shape the national standard
We welcome practitioners, clinicians, and members of the public to contribute during our consultation period.
