MEDICATIONS

What medications may affect my eligibility for a permanent makeup treatment?

The use of specific medications can impact the healing process of your skin. Concurrently taking multiple medications can also complicate the predictability of the outcome of a permanent makeup procedure, which differs from a conventional tattoo.

The following medications will prevent proper pigment retention and if you take any of these regularly, you should NOT get permanent makeup:

    • Triflusal (Disgren)
    • Clopidogrel (Plavix)
    • Prasugrel (Effient)
    • Ticagrelor (Brilinta)
    • Ticlopidine (Ticlid)

    • Cilostazol (Pletal)

ADDITIONAL HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

cOLD SORES

If you have a history of cold sores, it is essential to begin taking a prescription anti-viral medication (such as Valacyclovir, Denavir (penciclovir), acyclovir (Zovirax), or Valtrex) at least one week before your scheduled procedure. Cold sores are often triggered by stress or trauma to the lips or skin. Therefore, if you are prone to cold sores, undergoing a PMU procedure without antiviral medication beforehand may likely result in an outbreak. A cold sore outbreak can impact the healing process, affect the procedure's results, and potentially lead to scarring. To ensure optimal results for our clients, it is imperative not to overlook this step. Failure to comply with these instructions will result in the cancellation of your appointment, and a cancellation fee may be applied where applicable.

Other relevant conditions

The following conditions do not prohibit you from getting permanent make-up, but should be considered when deciding if a procedure is right for you. If you experience any of the conditions listed below, by scheduling you except the possible outcomes described:

  • Cirrhosis of the Liver: Susceptible to infection.
  • Scar tissue: Scars can be tattooed over. however, scar tissue may hinder proper healing or prevent pigment from taking to the skin. This is more likely if you've received a microblading or permanent makeup procedure in the past.
  • Platelet Disorders - Causes more bleeding to occur, and thus, lower pigment retention.
  • Moles/raised areas in or around the treatment area: Pigment will not be put into moles or anything raised but you can tattooed around them.
  • Thyroid medications: pigment may fade faster and require more frequent or additional touch-ups.
  • Auto Immune Disorder of any kind (MS, RA, Lupus etc): Due to the effects of the medication used to treat these disorders, pigment is not retained as well.
  • Anemia: requires additional touch-ups.
  • Tanning: May alter pigment color over time.
