Permanent Makeup

*IMPORTANT CONTRAINDICATIONS READ CAREFULLY*

Contraindications include the following list (case by case basis):

- Skin Complications: skin prone to eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris and dermatitis. The flaking, itching, or aggravated chances are increased, with the constant unrest and shedding it is not suitable for tattooing and won’t hold pigment well.

- Chronic Conditions: acne grades III and IV. This skin type can cause easy bleeding, which means your skin will not retain the color well. Excess oily skin can cause hair strokes to bleed together over time causing a solid effect instead of a feathery look.

- Compromised State of Skin & Body: If the skin is sensitive, it’s likely to be easily aggravated. For recent trauma, a negative life event, abnormal circadian rhythm, or high inflammatory response will trigger less retention of pigment.

- Hair Transplant: Scar tissue forms within the eyebrow transplant site. Implantation of pigment will be harder.

- Irregular State, autoimmune disorders, thyroid disease: if the body has a bleeding disorder, an autoimmune disorder such as lupus, or frontal fibrosis alopecia this will result in excess bleeding and prevent adequate color retention.

- Super thin, vascular and sun damaged skin: this skin type and condition can result in the color turning cool or an ashy/gray tone for eyebrows.

- Diabetes Type 1 & 2: diabetic clients can experience a slower healing process. It will depend on if the condition is controlled to move forward with treatment.

- Upcoming vacation or special occasion: the healing process can be emotional rollercoaster. Schedule in advance to account for a touchup(6 weeks post treatment) or schedule after the event.

- Excessively Oily Skin: machine hair strokes will not be suitable for this skin type.

- Chemical Peel in the past 30-60 days: the skin will be in a state of unrest and exfoliation.

- Trichotillomania: an autoimmune disorder such as lupus.

- BOTOX, Eyebrows: wait 2-3 weeks to settle before and after treatment.

- Latisse or Eyelash & Eyebrow growth serums: these serums bring extra circulation to the area resulting in more growth of hairs. The skin in that area is hypersensitive state and will bleed easily. Be mindful and discontinue using these at least 1-6 months before going in for eyeliner tattoo session otherwise you will instantly bleed and have a high risk of migration.

- Glaucoma, Eyeliner: the use of glaucoma eye drops makes eyelash follicles and eyelids hypersensitive, causing excessive bleeding and poor color retention.

- Filler/Injectables, Lips: 1 to 3 months prior to the treatment and after the treatment.

- Cold Sores, Lips: it is imperative to have an antiviral medication prescribed by a doctor prior to the scheduled appointment. Not doing so will result in aggravated healing and less color retention.

- Must be 18 years or older.

- Pregnant/Nursing: the effects of pigments/numbing agents aren’t highly researched and can enter the bloodstream. There is a risk of infection and blood borne pathogens.

- Sick(cold, flu, etc.): if your body is in a compromised state of health, the inflammatory response from tattooing these areas will be elevated.

- Cancer: with cancer and cancer treatments like chemotherapy, the body and immune system is in a compromised position. We would want to limit any additional risks. Clients must wait 6 to 12 months to receive permanent makeup after cancer treatment is finished. (Case by case basis.)

- Hemophilia or any blood clotting diseases.

- Severe heart conditions: medications often thin blood resulting in excessive bleeding.

- Tan/Sunburn: pigments implanted in tan skin will heal darker, and appear ashy and can become extremely problematic if this is not the desired result.

- Moles, skin tags, piercings, scars, old permanent makeup and generally raised skin will also not be able to retain color and therefore this expectation must be understood.

- Non-prescribed Drugs: if a client is knowingly under the influence of drugs or any mood altering medications that aren’t prescribed.

- Accutane & Retin A: Accutane must be completed and wait 6-12 months after treatment to get permanent makeup. Retain-A and OTC retinol products should be discontinued from use 30-60 days prior to permanent makeup.
