Am I a Candidate?

SKIN CONDITIONS (FACE ONLY)

• Skin Complications – If you have skin which 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 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 these types of skin causes easy bleeding once aggravated, which once again means your skin will not retain the color and intended effect of permanent brows. 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. In which case, powder brow might be a better option if looking for a permanent brow solution as opposed to microblading.
• 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 color 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 color.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

• Hair Transplant – A commonly unknown fact is that scar tissue will form within the eyebrow transplant site. If you’ve had a hair transplant for your eyebrows, microblading is not a suitable procedure for you.
• Irregular State – If your body naturally runs hot or you have a bleeding disorder, this will result in excess bleeding and prevent adequate color deposit.
• Autoimmune – Even more seriously, 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.
• Other Conditions – If you are pregnant, nursing, have hemophilia, a heart condition or cancer, 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 a poor results with microblading.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS YOU’VE MIGHT HAVE MISSED….

• Continued use of Accutane, Retinol, or skin-peeling acids, you may be prone to excessive bleeding due to your altered skin condition, therefore, permanent make up would not be a viable option for you without discontinuing use of these products for 2 months prior to your appointment.
