Medications and their Effects

In the picture below you can see small divisions of medicines that are a contraindication to treatment.

Blood thinners (anticoagulants), such as aspirin or other forms of medication, can increase the time it takes for blood to clot.

Keep in mind that microblading involves penetrating the skin, and it is important that the time it takes for the blood to clot is within a reasonable time frame. If not, you may experience prolonged bleeding time during the procedure greater than average bruising, and pigment retention will slow down.

Constant use of topical steroids can lead to thinning of the skin, especially if used for a long time. For this reason, microblading is not recommended. If your client is using any of the above medications, talk to Dr. Phi before contacting us.

If the client is taking Accutane, you must wait a year after its completion before performing the permanent make-up procedure.

Clients who take thyroid medications often need permanent cosmetic procedures that would be renewed more often. We noticed that their color fades a little faster.

Insulin-dependent patients with diabetes are often not treated well and may be at increased risk of infection.

They may need approval from their doctor for permanent cosmetic services, waxing or other more aggressive skin care treatments.

Patients taking chemotherapy medications have a compromised immune system and may not heal well and need the written permission of the doctor to treat them.

Unfortunately, we cannot recover permanently from epilepsy. Clients who have epilepsy, regardless of the fact that they are taking antiepileptic medications, should not undergo treatment.

Sometimes a new epileptic seizure can be caused by stimuli such as pain, intense smell, light, etc. Although the patient was treated properly, I would not advise it.
