Contraindications for Permanent Makeup (PMU) Services at Natural Lash Skin Bar

At Natural Lash Skin Bar, we’re committed to providing safe and high-quality Permanent Makeup (PMU) services, such as Ombre Powder Brows, lip blush, and eyeliner enhancements. While PMU is a great solution for enhancing natural beauty with minimal effort, it's important to understand that not everyone may be an ideal candidate due to certain health conditions or medications. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the contraindications for PMU procedures.

Medications to Consider

1. Accutane/Retin-A

   • If you've been using acne medications like Accutane or Retin-A within the last six months, your skin may not heal properly. To avoid complications, these treatments should be discontinued at least six months before undergoing a PMU procedure.

   • Similarly, if you're using Retinol or Vitamin A products, stop them two weeks prior to your appointment.

2. Latisse

   • Latisse and other lash growth serums increase blood circulation around the eyes, potentially causing excessive bleeding during eyeliner PMU procedures. Discontinue these serums 3–6 months before your appointment for safer results.

Medical Conditions That May Affect PMU

1. Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

   • PMU is not recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, as your body’s hormonal changes can affect healing and pigment retention.

2. Heart Conditions or Hemophilia

   • If you have a heart condition or hemophilia, PMU poses a higher risk of complications, including excessive bleeding. Always consult with your physician before proceeding.

3. High Blood Pressure

   • Clients with uncontrolled high blood pressure are at a greater risk of bleeding and slower healing, which can impact pigment retention and color quality.

4. Diabetes

   • Insulin-dependent diabetics may experience slower healing and increased risk of infection. If you have diabetes, maintain tight blood sugar control and consult your doctor before the procedure.

     
     

Other Contraindications

• Allergic Reactions: If you’re allergic to Lidocaine or other numbing agents, PMU may not be suitable.

• Viral Infections or Diseases: Active infections like cold sores should be treated before undergoing PMU.

• Epilepsy: The stress of a PMU procedure could trigger seizures, so consult your doctor first.

• Organ Transplants & Bloodborne Diseases: If you've had an organ transplant or have diseases like HIV or Hepatitis, additional precautions or exclusions may apply.

• Keloid Scarring: If you’re prone to keloids, PMU could increase the risk of raised scarring.

• Recent Cosmetic Surgeries/Procedures: Allow sufficient healing time before scheduling your PMU appointment.

  
  

Eyeliner PMU: Specific Considerations

Eyeliner tattooing is not recommended if you:

• Have monolid or droopy eyelids where pigment placement may shift.

• Have uneven lash lines or mature skin with creases.

• Suffer from glaucoma or serious eye conditions.

Consultation Is Key
