Ideal Candidates for Permanent Makeup

Add the missing piece-

Eyebrows are the most understated but most important details that compliment the face. No matter the type of eyebrows—arched, straight, curved, dramatic, classy, sophisticated, thin, thick— wake up each day with your best brow.

With the advancements made in the field of permanent make-up, we can say “so long” to the way-too-dark and solid eyebrows of the past and we can have beautiful, natural looking eyebrows that look like they were grown that way. It allows us to have eyebrows that you’ve always imagined having.

It is important to know what kind of skin you have. All clients have different thicknesses of skin that range wrong oily to dry. Is your skin sensitive? Sun damaged? Aged?

As an artist, I want to make sure that we use the technique and pigment most suited for your skin type and color in order to achieve the best results. It is important that pre-care and post care is strictly followed.

Some skin conditions could change the healing process and results.

So now we ask- Is it right for me?

  • Chronic or Acute inflammation in the skin such as Eczema, psoriasis, acne, dermatitis, and keratosis pilaris can mean the the skin has an active inflammation process and is not in a state of homeostasis. This can mean that the healing could take longer or possible that it can not hold the pigment very well. While having any of the above conditions doesn’t necessarily exclude a client, it should be mentioned during the scheduling and consultation process so that the appropriate recommendations can be considered.

    Oily skin can mean that the pigment will not hold very well, hairstrokes will be more likely to blur, or fade faster over time. Oily skin types are better suited for powder brows and do better with a micro pigment application.

    Special consideration will be taken for those with thin skin, thick skin, large pores, fair skin, sensitive skin, or for those with previous permanent makeup.

  • Any raised skin or tissue in the area to be pigmented will not retain color well.

    Trichotillomania is a disorder that is known for an urge to pull out eyebrow hair. This can cause an increased amount of scar tissue and damage tot the skin which can mean a longer healing process and poor retained pigment.

    Certain autoimmune disorders such as Lupus would mean that a client would not be a good candidate for microblading.

    If you are pregnant or nursing, any permanent makeup procedure will need to be postponed.

    Hemophilia is a heart condition that puts a client in high risk of bleeding and any permanent makeup procedures will not be performed.

    A client on their Menstrual cycle is more sensitive to pain and will have a higher chance of bleeding if you smoke.

  • Those that are not good candidates:

    Anyone on blood thinning medications within 72 hours

    Vit E or Fish oil taken within 14 days

    Anyone using Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Retin- A or other types of acids used on the skin for at least 14 days

    Botox or fillers done within 30 days

    Anyone allergic to lidocaine or epinephrine

    Alcohol or caffeine for 24 hours

  • Excessive bleeding can be caused by many factors outside of my control.

    There will be pain after the procedure. The area may feel sore like a sunburn.

    Poor pigment retention and uneven pigmentation can occur from underlying conditions, poor healing and poor aftercare. Please refrain from picking any scams during the healing process. It is important to schedule your follow-up so that any uneven pigment can be corrected.

    All faces are not symmetrical. every effort will be made to make the eyebrows appear as even as possible. it is possible that muscle tone expression can be different on either side giving the appearance erased or lower brow.

    Excessive swelling and bruising (rare) can occur but usually goes away within the first week

    Topical anesthetics containing lidocaine and epinephrine are used to numb the area. Please inform the technician if there are any allergies or if anesthetics are not effective.

    Pigments used in permanent Cosmetics are permanent and some contain oxides which could cause complications if a MRI was ever needed. A low-level magnet may be required when being scanned by an MRI machine.

    If you have ever had a cold sore or fever blister also known as herpes simplex there is a greater chance that you will get them during the healing process for lip pigmentation procedures. Please consult with your doctor prior, to see if a prescription antiviral medication will prevent this from occurring during healing.
