Other Situations
We will also mention in this lesson other conditions that are not closely related to the medications the client is taking.
Pregnancy is a condition of the body in which our body functions a little differently. The immune system is also different, as is the metabolism, the body retains more fluids, and so on.
On the other hand, when you do the treatment, you have to put the pigment in contact with the blood. Therefore, it is forbidden to do microblading treatment for pregnant women.
For breastfeeding mothers as well as during pregnancy, treatment should be avoided due to lack of clinical data. Local anesthetics can in theory have harmful effects on the newborn, but this practically never happens. Mothers are generally advised to stop milking 6-8 hours after anesthesia.
As I said before, when you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is most likely that the pigment or local anesthetic will not harm the fetus/child. But if something goes wrong, no matter what it is or may be related to the cosmetic procedure, you can expect to be accused of the outcome. And there is no paper or proven data to protect you.
So, once again, do not do the treatment on pregnant or breastfeeding women. Believe me, you don’t need that kind of guilt and all the fuss about it!
Is alcohol dangerous if we use an anesthetic?
In fact, it is not dangerous, especially with local anesthetics with minimal absorption in the systemic bloodstream. The reason why you should not work on clients who consumed alcohol less than 24 hours ago is that the bleeding can be more intense and thus wash away more pigment than usual.
In fact, it is possible to do the treatment, but tell your client not to drink 24 hours before the treatment.
Botox is a powerful toxin that blocks the neuromuscular connection (synapse) and it takes some time to bind to the appropriate receptors. If you traumatize the surrounding area, you could cause these toxins to spread in a way that you (the surgeon who performed the procedure) would not like and could endanger the outcome and health of the client.
Wait 3 weeks before doing the procedure and do not question this rule!
Eyebrow/hair growth serums are based on the promotion of microcirculation and if you blade that area of the skin, it will cause significant bleeding. You will not be able to see clearly what you are doing and there is a high probability that scabs will form.
Fortunately, these vasodilators are metabolized quickly. Therefore, the client should stop using it two days before the treatment and can continue for seven days after – the same procedure applies to touch-up.
Hepatitis B is spread by contact with the blood and body fluids of an infected person. Avoid any skin-to-skin contact in the presence of your or their blood. Protect yourself.
All tools must be either discarded after use or autoclaved. Chemical sterilization is not adequate because spores can survive through this process. Use individually packaged, pre-sterilized disposable needles.
If you can, protect your work area and avoid skin contact as much as you can, even if you wear gloves. Do all this, but keep in mind that the client should not feel uncomfortable. Since the virus is not active and the client is not taking some medications, this does not pose a risk to the client. You can do the treatment.
