Microblading Contraindications

---

SKIN CONDITIONS



• Ingrown hairs and open bumps on eyebrow- injured skin cannot be tattooed


• Eczema (Constant flaking/itching/irritation/shedding of skin)- must consult with a doctor
• Dermatitis (Constant flaking/itching/irritation/shedding of skin)- must consult with a doctor
• Rosacea (chronic acne-like skin indicated by redness)- skin bleeds easy and could possibly not retain pigment
• Severely oily skin on eyebrows- the hair strokes will appear more blended, solid, or possibly not retain pigment
• Have moles/raised areas/piercings in or around the brow/eye area- anything raised or indented could not retain pigment well
• Deep wrinkles in the brow area- the hair strokes will not lay properly in the creases, giving the eyebrows an uneven look
• Hair transplant for your eyebrows- pigment will not take in the scar tissue where the plugs were placed


• Shingles- microblading will not be performed as the procedure could cause a flare-up
• Fitzpatrick Skin types 1 (very fair, porcelain or translucent skin tone)- due to hypersensitivity and thinness, this skin type might not take the pigment well


• Accutane or Retin-A (oral medication) within the last year- skin composition is altered and will not heal well. Must wait 1 year before treatment


• Retinol or Vitamin A user- skin composition is altered and will not heal well. Must discontinue use 2 weeks prior to treatment


• Extremely thin skin- transparent or translucent bleeds easily and might not hold pigment due to its thinness


• If you come in with a tan or sunburn- skin is not normal color and/or is damaged

 and microblading cannot be performed 
• Eye or skin infections- if you have eye or skin infections present on the day of procedure, we cannot proceed due to possible risk in spreading the infection

MEDICAL CONDITIONS 

• Pregnant (at risk and sensitive due to change in hormones)


• Haemophilia (cannot stop bleeding)- pigment will bleed out and results will be compromised 
• Bleeding disorders (increased bleeding which prevents pigment deposit)


• Thyroid condition and taking medication for this condition (Hypo, Hyperthyroidism, Graves Disease, Hashimoto’s- results in thicker skin)


• Auto Immune Disorder such as LUPUS or Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (MS, RA, Lupus or the like) 

If you are on any of these medications, you will have excessive bleeding and the pigment might not retain well - if you choose to go ahead, results may vary
• Existing heart condition (doctor's note required)
