AM I CANDIDATE FOR MICROPIGMENTATION?

⦁ Skin Complications - If you have skin that is prone to complications with eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris and dermatitis (i.e., your skin is constantly flaking, itching, or aggravated), chances are your skin is in a constant state of unrest and shedding and is not suitable for tattooing and therefore won’t hold the pigment well.

⦁ Chronic Conditions - The same goes for conditions like chronic acne and rosacea. The inherent nature of this type of skin causes easy bleeding, which once again means your skin will not retain the colour very well and the intended effect of micro-blading. Additionally, excessively oily skin can cause those tattooed hair strokes to blur together and give off an unwanted solid effect instead of a naturally feathered look.

State of Skin - If your skin is sensitive, it is likely to be easily aggravated and bleed easily. A good way to know if your skin is sensitive is if turns pink very easily from a little scratch. If your skin has large pores, specifically in the region of the eyebrows and forehead (aka the T-Zone), the colour will blur and result in a powdered look. Along similar lines, tattooed hair strokes will not lay properly on skin with deep wrinkles, which can make the overall look appear uneven. Moles, bumps, piercing, and generally raised skin around the eyebrows will also not be able to retain colour. 

Skin Type - If you have Fitzpatrick Skin type 1 (i.e., you are a redhead, have thin, translucent skin with light eyes), your skin is very likely to be hypersensitive and your skin will not be able to tolerate Micropigmentation well. The same applies if you just have generally very thin skin - it will bleed easily and not retain colour.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

Autoimmune - If you have an autoimmune disorder such as lupus, or frontal fibrosing alopecia, you will be not a good candidate for Microblading due to your compromised skin health caused by these disorders.

If you are pregnant, nursing, have haemophilia, a heart condition, it is absolutely not recommended that you get any form of permanent make-up done as this puts you in a high-risk position. People who have heart issues often are on medications that thin the blood which will cause excessive bleeding and poor results with micro-pigmentation.

REACTIONS TO TREATMENTS

Below is a list of medical conditions that often cause skin irregularities, making micro-pigmentation an unsuitable procedure for you:

Trichotillomania (i.e., the compulsive pulling of body hair) can cause scar tissue in the skin to be prominent, which does not allow the colour to heal properly.

If you have continued use of Accutane, Retinol, or skin-peeling acids, you may be prone to excessive bleeding due to your altered skin condition, therefore, micro-blading would not be a viable option for you.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS YOU’VE MIGHT HAVE MISSED...

Botox- Get Micropigmentation done BEFORE you get Botox so your muscles will be in a normal state of movement. Alternatively, if you regularly use Botox, you will need to wait 3 weeks after Botox before doing micro-pigmentation in order to allow the Botox to settle in at its full effect.

Vacationing- micro-pigmentation is a tattoo and therefore is a mild injury to the skin which takes time to heal. If you are planning to go hot vacation involving sun, sweating, and swimming, make sure you give your skin two weeks to heal post-micro-blading before showing off your newly micro bladed brows on the beach!

So, if you’re thinking you’re ready for a micro-pigmentation procedure, it is important to know that the results of your permanent makeup will be based on the health and quality of your skin. Results will vary from person to person, and if you have a pre-existing skin condition or are on medications, you may still be eligible for a procedure but should adjust your expectations based on your situation. Like any procedure, every person is unique and will react differently.
