While it’s suitable for most people, there are certain reasons that we can’t treat everyone. Before undergoing treatment, clients are always made aware that certain contraindications can prevent us from proceeding. These include: High blood pressure or heart conditions Taking blood-thinners such as aspirin or similar medication Diabetes Pregnant or lactating Herpes simplex Certain skin conditions e.g. rashes, blisters, psoriasis, or eczema Taking steroids such as cortisone, Accutane, Retin-A or Renova Allergy to makeup Acute acne in the treatment area Susceptibility to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation Hypertrophic scarring or keloids Spider veins or a birthmark in the area they want to be treated Blood disorder e.g. sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, or a platelet disorder For some of the above, we may also ask that you provide written authorization from your doctor before we can proceed. We hope the above information has given you more of an insight into the possible contraindications relating to microblading and permanent makeup. As we’ve mentioned several times in this post, it really is a good idea to have a chat with your doctor if any of the above conditions apply to you.
