Medication and Permanent Makeup



Prior to any Permanent Makeup procedures, clients are asked to complete a Consent Form.
The form is used to document medical history, current and previous use of certain medications and to alert any possible interference for a quick recovery.

When possible, the client should be in optimal health.  If you're feeling under the weather, just wait.  Remember, our body has a better chance of healing and fighting infections when we're well rested and healthy.

If you were diagnosed with cancer and fear hair loss due to Chemotherapy,  be sure to check in with your doctor.  If you are currently under going Chemotherapy sessions, please wait.  If you have completed your Chemotherapy sessions, please consult your doctor and Permanent Makeup should be accessible to most clients.

Medications that are particularly of interest to Permanent Makeup Artist are as follows:

  • Cumadin
  • Aspirin (baby or adult dose)
  • Any other blood thinning medications
  • Acutaine (if used in the last 12 months)
  • Excessive use of alcohol or tobacco
  • Latisse
Please check with your doctor prior to stopping any medication.

Permanent Makeup procedures may cause droplets of blood immediately after the procedure, so use a clean tissue and gently blot your brows for 10 minutes.  Blood thinning medications may interfere with healing.  Consult your doctor.

Acutaine, used for severe acne, may increase sensitivity to the sun.  Therefore, it is recommended that the client wait minimum 12 months.  In addition, when on Acutaine, people should also wait minimum of 12 months prior to getting waxed (face and body).

Latisse is used to enhance, lash growth.  However, it may thin and/or hyper pigment your lash line.  I would recommend stopping use for minimum 2 months prior to the Permanent Makeup Eyeliner procedure.  Use of Latisse will not affect Brow or Lip procedures.

Permanent Eyeliner turns blue grey

Before Permanent Makeup Brows and Liner                                                       After Permanent Makeup Hairstroke Brows and Eyeliner                                                C ommon question asked by my clients: I had permanent eyeliner done in the past.  The original artist used Black pigment.  It looked great at first, but as the pigment faded, it turned Blue Grey.  Why does this happen and what can I do? As mentioned before, all pigment fades over time.  Carbon Black pigment has a lot of the primary Blue color.  Therefore, as the other colors in the Black fade, the blue color remains. Touch ups are essential to keeping permanent eyeliner looking fresh and crisp.  If you have blue grey liner, ask the artist to add Orange Pigment to the Black Pigment to counter balance the Blue.  The Orange pigment will turn the blue into a soft brown, and with the added black pigment, the blue will not be noticeable.

What is the difference between Micro Blading and Tattoos

What is the difference between Micro Blading and other Permanent Makeup modalities. Microblading is a tool that is popular with the newer generation of permanent makeup artists.  The marketing of Microblading has dominated our industry in the past 2 to 3 years. Microblade is a hand held tool where the series of needles are configured tightly to form a "blade" or a "knife".  The artist uses the "blade" to cut "hair like" incisions into the skin.  The pigment is then smeared into the cuts.  The width of the blade is extremely narrow so that the artist can create an illusion of eyebrow hairs. Due to the narrow width of the blade, the artist must minimize the space in between each stroke.  If the strokes are placed too far apart, the tattoo may appear sparse when healed.  If the strokes are placed too closely, then the pigment from each stroke blend into the next stroke and causes pigment migration or a shaded look.  Immediat

What to do next, if you hate your new Permanent Makeup procedure.

Q:  What do you do when you absolutely hate your Permanent Makeup Brows? For new brows,  Be Patient!  Permanent Makeup brow procedures take minimum 2 weeks to heal.  The brows will go through various transformation within the next 14 days.  The first week of healing, pigment will temporarily appear bigger and darker.  Within a week's time, they will dry and form a crusty scab.  Once the scab peels, the pigment should look lighter and smaller. If the shape is not ideal, most brow shape can be modified.  They may not be perfect, but there's always room for improvement.  Find a Permanent Makeup Artist that specialize in  correction procedures. If the color needs to be altered, that too can be modified.  They can be lightened or darkened by a  Permanent Makeup Correction Specialist. After the tattoo has healed, topical makeup such as eyeshadow or brow pencil can be used to alter or enhance the shape and color. Keep in mind, we want our eyes to be the focal point, no
