Regrettably, not everyone may be suitable for Microblading, and some individuals may be unable to undergo the treatment. Microblading is not recommended for individuals with certain skin types, such as oily, combination, sun-damaged, mature, and blemish-prone skin, as machine brows are better suited for them. However, if you have skin conditions that are not present on your face or around your eyebrows, you may still be eligible for Microblading.

Clients with scars and moles on their eyebrows may not be suitable for Microblading directly over those areas but may consider getting the treatment around the affected region instead.

If you have had previous work done, kindly send us a photo of your brows for a consultation. We do not perform Microblading on clients who have had previous work done, regardless of how faded or removed it may be. In such cases, we will only offer ombre brows. Failure to provide this information may result in the loss of your deposit.

Please understand that, for the safety and well-being of both the client and our specialists, we reserve the right to decline service to anyone we feel may not be a suitable candidate for Microblading.

WE CAN NOT TREAT YOU IF:

1. Age:

• Clients with uncontrolled diabetes.

• Clients with a compromised immune system.

• Clients with active skin infections or open wounds in the eyebrow area.

• Clients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

• Clients with haemophilia or other bleeding disorders.

• Clients with autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis).

Please inform us beforehand as a doctor's note may be required.

3. Skin Type and Conditions:

• Clients with oily or excessively sensitive skin.

• Clients with sunburnt or sun-damaged skin in the eyebrow area.

• Clients with active eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis on or around the eyebrows.

• Clients with a history of severe acne or acne-prone skin around the eyebrows.

4. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

• Clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding (due to hormonal changes and potential risks).

5. Recent Cosmetic Procedures:

• Clients who have had chemical peels or laser treatments in the eyebrow area within the last three months.

6. Medications:

• Blood-Thinning Medications:

  • Anticoagulants such as Warfarin, Heparin, or Aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding during the procedure and slow down the healing process. This may result in excessive bleeding during the procedure or poor pigment retention after healing.

• Retinoids and Vitamin A:

  • Topical retinoids and oral Vitamin A supplements can cause increased skin sensitivity and thinning of the skin. This may lead to more discomfort during the procedure and affect the retention of the pigment.

• Immunosuppressants:

  • Medications that suppress the immune system can impact the body's ability to heal properly, which may affect the overall healing process of the microblading/permanent makeup.

• Steroids:

  • Oral or topical steroids can also affect the healing process by reducing the body's natural inflammatory response. This can lead to slower healing and possibly affect the retention of the pigment.

• Photosensitive Medications:

  • Some medications can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, increasing the risk of adverse reactions after the procedure. Clients taking photosensitive medications should avoid sun exposure and use sun protection as advised by the specialist.

• Antibiotics:

  • Clients taking antibiotics should discuss this with their specialist, as some antibiotics may affect the skin's response to the procedure and may need to be avoided before or after the treatment.

7. Previous Permanent Makeup:

• Clients with previous eyebrow tattoos or permanent makeup that are still visible.

8. Skin Allergies and Sensitivities:

• Clients with a history of allergic reactions to pigments or other cosmetic ingredients.

9. Skin Disorders:

• Clients with skin disorders or conditions that may interfere with the healing process.

10. Healing Impairments:

• Clients with slow-healing wounds or a history of difficulty healing after previous procedures.

11. Unrealistic Expectations:

• Clients with unrealistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.

• Clients with body dysmorphia and extreme nervousness are not recommended for this treatment due to the level of permanence and commitment involved, and the need for realistic expectations.

• It is essential for clients to be mentally and emotionally prepared for the procedure to ensure a positive experience and satisfactory outcome.

12. Skin Care Products:

• Clients using retinol, chemical skin care products, AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), niacinamide, or any products with lightening ingredients should wait 4 weeks since their last use before the procedure. These products can thin or sensitise the skin and may affect the procedure's outcome and healing process.

It is essential to consult with a trained and qualified specialist to determine individual suitability for microblading/permanent make-up. Clients who may not be suitable for these treatments can explore other beauty solutions or consult with a medical professional for further guidance.

1. Do Not Take Blood-Thinning Medications: To minimize the risk of bleeding and ensure optimal healing, avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain herbal supplements for at least one week before your appointment. However, always consult your doctor before stopping any prescribed medications.

2. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Refrain from consuming alcohol and excessive caffeine 24 hours before your appointment, as they can increase sensitivity, lead to poor results and potentially lead to excess bleeding during the procedure.

3. Discontinue Use of Retinoids and Exfoliants: Avoid using retinoids, chemical peels, or other exfoliants on the eyebrow area for at least two weeks before the treatment. These products can thin the skin and make the procedure more uncomfortable.

4. No Sunburn or Tanning: Ensure the eyebrow area is free from sunburn or excessive tanning before the appointment, as this can lead to uneven pigment uptake and affect the final results.

5. Avoid Facial Treatments: Refrain from facials, Botox, dermal fillers, or other facial treatments on the eyebrow area for at least two weeks before the procedure.

6. Avoid Waxing and Tweezing: It is essential not to wax or tweeze the eyebrow area within one week before your appointment. The specialist will shape your eyebrows during the procedure.

7. Check for Skin Conditions: If you have any skin conditions or infections on or around the eyebrow area, it is best to postpone the appointment until the area is completely healed.

8: Medication: Please be aware hormone therapies and certain medications can affect pigmentation and/or cause sensitivity

9. Inform About Holidays: Consider your holiday plans, especially if they involve sun exposure, swimming, or sweating. For optimal healing, schedule your appointment at least two weeks before your vacation or plan it for after your return.

10. Patch Test for Allergies: If you are concerned about potential allergies to the pigments or topical anaesthetics, request a patch test from the specialist in advance.

11. Arrive Well-Rested and Relaxed: Ensure you get a good night's sleep before the procedure and avoid consuming excessive caffeine on the day of your appointment to reduce sensitivity.

12. Menstrual Period: Please note that during your menstrual period, you may be more sensitive to the procedure.

13. Discontinue Brow-Growth Serums: Discontinue the use of any brow-growth serums like Latisse, as they can cause sensitivity and affect pigment.

1 WEEK BEFORE PROCEDURE:

• Avoid Motrin, Advil, Ibuprofen, Naproxen (Tylenol/Acetaminophen is ok to consume)

• Avoid fish oils, DHA supplements, cayenne supplements, turmeric, vitamin e, niacin (or anything that can cause blood thinning)

• Avoid marijuana and smoking

• Keep your lips well hydrated with a good lip balm

Take the medication at your discretion and at your own risk.

If any of the above are taken for medical purposes, please consult with your physician.

1-3 DAYS BEFORE YOUR PROCEDURE:
