The following medical conditions require special consideration, and need to be discussed before scheduling a micropigmentation procedure. Anything that affects the bodies ability heal.

  • We do not recommend this procedure for any person who is currently being treated or medicated for an illness that compromises the immune system or body healing process.
  • Diabetes. Healing could be compromised, higher risk of infection.
  • Glaucoma. Increased intraocular pressure combined with pressure placed on the eye to apply eyeliner could be damaging.
  • Bleeding disorders. Blood disorders that affect clotting such as haemophilia, sickle cell anaemia, platelet disorders.
  • Mitral Valve Prolapse. Artificial heart Valves, Artificial Joints. Any condition that requires prophylactic antibiotics before dental or other procedures will need to take them before Micropigmentation also.
  • Herpes Simplex. People who get fever blisters / cold sores may experience an outbreak after lip procedures. Antiviral prescription should be taken.
  • Pregnancy or Breast Feeding, then the procedure should be postponed.
  • Keloid or Hypertrophic Scaring. Persons with tendencies for this type of scaring have that risk with tattooing also.
  • Use of certain Medications. Accutane / Retin-A, topical steroids can make the skin fragile. Anticoagulants (blood thinners), long-term use of aspirin, ibuprofen, and some herbs reduce clotting time resulting in increased bleeding and bruising.
  • Heart conditions. High blood pressure. Poor general health.

The above list of conditions serves as a guideline only and each client must be assessed individually prior to treatment.
