CANDIDATE CONTRAINDICATIONS

 

 

Most of the below circumstances are in direct conflict with a successful and/or safe procedure, but confirmation of eligibility will be assessed on an individual basis:

 

• Must not be pregnant or nursing

 

• Diabetic

 

• No viral infections or diseases

 

• No epilepsy

 

• No pacemakers, stents or valve replacements, or other heart conditions

 

• No organ transplant recipients

 

• No joint replacements or medical implants-most cosmetic implants are fine

 

• Clients with keloid scarring may not be good candidates for microblading as it introduces trauma to the skin but microshading (machine work) should be fine. To be discussed in depth during evaluation

 

• No seborrheic dermatitis as the excessive shedding of skin will cause immediate fading and generally poor results

 

• No skin irritations or psoriasis near the treatment areas, such as but not limited to rashes, sunburn, acne, injury, etc. 

 

• No current bacterial or viral infection illnesses such as colds, covid-19, flus, etc. 

 

• No Botox or other neuromodulators within the last month

 

• No Accutane used within the last full year as it creates heightened sensitivity and inability to tolerate procedure

 

• No fillers within less than 2 weeks prior to procedure-schedule accordingly and be sure to let us know date of recent filler 

 

• No antibiotic within the month of procedure as it may push out the pigment during healing process

 

• No allergies to anesthetic (lidocaine) or epinephrine

 

• Candidate can not have extremely oily or problematic skin

 

• No current cancer or chemotherapy-please see us once you're cleared as we'd love to help!

 

• No auto-immune illnesses

 

• No recent surgery - must be cleared by doctor after major surgery to ensure against infections or complications

 

• If you are prone to cold sores, you will be required to take an antiviral cold sore medication or a supplement of Lysine. Take this at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment and continue to take it until you are done healing. Without taking this precaution, the procedure will trigger a flare up. 

 

• Additional mental health and/or neurodivergence such as the following will also affect eligibility: extreme anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, OCD, clinical paranoia, trichotillomania, etc.
