Microblading: When to avoid it for safety reasons

Situations to avoid microblading for safety reasons

• Pregnancy: Hormonal changes can affect the healing process.

• Skin Conditions: Active eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis in the eyebrow area.

• Allergies: Known allergies to pigments or topical anesthetics.

• Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions that affect healing, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

• Blood Thinners: Use of medications like aspirin or anticoagulants that can increase bleeding.

• Recent Cosmetic Procedures: Such as chemical peels or laser treatments in the brow area.

• Infection: Any active infection, particularly in the facial area.

• Diabetes: Poor healing and increased risk of infection.

• Sunburn: Sunburned skin can be more sensitive and prone to complications.

• Recent Botox or Fillers: Procedures done in the brow area should be allowed to settle before microblading.

• Keloid Scarring: Those with a history of keloid formation should avoid microblading due to the risk of abnormal scar development.

• Breastfeeding: Hormonal fluctuations and potential exposure to pigments during breastfeeding may warrant caution.
