Eyebrow tattooing: contraindications before and after the procedure

Permanent eyebrow makeup is a cosmetic procedure that appeared relatively recently, but quickly gained popularity among women. It involves the distribution of a safe dye under the top layer of the skin. The effect of a freshly completed make-up is created - such make-up is attractive, does not wash off, and lasts for several months (up to two years).

The procedure allows you to emphasize the eyebrows, give them the desired shape, and enhance the natural feminine beauty. You don’t need to apply makeup every morning or touch it up throughout the day.

How permanent eyebrow makeup is performed. Step by step description

1. Consultation. The master listens to the client’s wishes, studies the characteristics of the eyebrows and skin, answers questions and gives recommendations on how to prepare for the session.
2. Modeling. A sketch of the eyebrows is created - size, shape, color. It is approved by the client. The sketch is transferred to the skin with a special pencil.
3. Anesthesia. The makeup process is virtually painless. To completely eliminate discomfort, a pain relief procedure with gel or ointment can be performed.
4. Session. Disposable needles are used to distribute the paint - they are opened in the presence of the client. The duration of the procedure is from one and a half to two and a half hours.
5. Completion. A cosmetologist tells you how to care for your skin.
6. Return visit. It goes away in two to three weeks, when the wounds heal, the result will be visible. The specialist assesses the condition of the eyebrows, their appearance and, if necessary, makes corrections.

Advantages and disadvantages of hair tattooing

Hair tattooing of eyebrows has both positive and negative characteristics:

How to properly prepare for a session

A procedure such as permanent eyebrow makeup requires special preparation. The master talks about it in detail at the first meeting - consultation. Here are the basic recommendations and rules to follow.

Quitting alcoholic beverages

A few days before the session, you should completely abstain from alcoholic beverages. Even a minimal amount will negatively affect the results and cause difficulties during the procedure.

The problem is that alcohol has a negative effect on blood pressure, which leads to its “swings” - even minor “jumps” can lead to excessive blood discharge.

Alcohol also leads to a decrease in the body's protective functions - inflammatory processes are likely.

Elimination and prevention of herpes

People suffering from frequent or periodic exacerbations of herpes should first take appropriate measures. A few weeks before visiting a cosmetologist, you need to take a course of anti-inflammatory medications.

Note!
During periods of exacerbation of herpes, sessions are prohibited! You should wait for complete recovery.

Ban on "energy drinks"

The day before the procedure, you need to stop drinking any energy drinks - including coffee, Coca-Cola and others.

They lead to dilation of blood vessels. This can cause heavy bleeding, secretion of ichor and increased trauma to the skin.

Proper nutrition

Two or three days before your visit to the specialist, you need to watch your diet. You should exclude from your diet:

1. fat;
2. spicy;
3. fried food.

Advice!
Avoid seafood during this period.
They can have a negative impact on your overall well-being during the session.

Reasonable use of medications

Permanent eyebrow makeup and some medications do not go well together. A few days before your visit to the cosmetologist, you must stop taking aspirin and other blood thinning medications.

If possible, you should avoid taking and using:

1. hydrogen peroxide;
2. antibiotics;
3. drugs with alcohol.

They have a negative impact on the efficiency of distribution of coloring pigment under the skin pigment and can cause swelling.

Note!
If you need to constantly take medications, you cannot interrupt the treatment course - be sure to warn the specialist.
He will give his recommendations - whether the session can be held now or whether it will need to be rescheduled. 7 days before the session you need to stop taking hormonal medications. Taking them can lead to the pigment not taking root well - you will have to repeat the procedure or the color will be much duller.

Time it right

Permanent eyebrow makeup does not give instant results. For the first few days, severe redness and swelling may be observed at the treatment site. The color will not be what you expected. Therefore, you should not go to the salon on the eve of important events.

Complete restoration of the skin directly depends on the characteristics of the body. Usually swelling and redness go away in two to three days, but for some women it goes away even faster.

The most important stage is the appearance of crusts. They must not be torn off under any circumstances. You have to wait until they fall off on their own.

What is the essence of eyebrow tattooing?

The point of the procedure is that the master corrects the shape of the eyebrows using a special dye. The pigment is applied with a machine or needle to imitate fine hairs. The specialist draws each hair with neat strokes parallel to each other or in different directions. Thanks to this technique, eyebrows look like real ones. Who should undergo a tattoo procedure? Experts advise getting permanent hair done if:

• you have aesthetic flaws in the area of ​​the brow ridge, for example, scars and cicatrices that interfere with hair growth;
• eyebrows are sparse from birth and the hairs are thin;
• eyebrows are asymmetrically located and have gaps not filled with hairs;
• you are unhappy with their shape and length.

Why is preparation for a session so important?

If you neglect the rules of preparation, achieving an optimal result is almost impossible. Possible problems:

1. the pigment does not take root well;
2. increased trauma to the skin;
3. fuzzy outline;
4. wrong shape.

During the restoration of the skin after applying paint, too hard crusts may appear, and after their natural “convergence” the pigment will not be noticeable. The recovery process will be delayed, and painful sensations are possible.

Failure to follow the rules of preparation will result in you simply wasting money, but not achieving the desired result.

Be sure to follow all the rules, listen carefully to the cosmetologist’s recommendations and strictly follow them.

Note!
If you want to be 100% sure of the result, contact the salon of master Elena Olshanskaya. He is an experienced specialist who is constantly improving his level of qualifications. The salon strictly adheres to sanitary and hygienic requirements. You will be pleased with the sensitive approach.

Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy and lactation are far from the best period for permanent makeup, and here’s why:

• Unstable hormonal levels can lead to poor absorption of pigment;
• The pain threshold may decrease significantly;
• Anesthetic pigments in small doses penetrate into the body and, accordingly, into breast milk;
• Antiviral drugs cannot be used, so permanent lip makeup is completely excluded.

It is also worth noting that during these periods a woman is not always 100% aware of whether she actually needs this procedure. It is better to wait for more stable times and, with confidence and without fear for the child’s health, go for permanent makeup 1-2 months after stopping breastfeeding.

How to care for your eyebrows after a session

In order for permanent eyebrow makeup to stick well and not lead to unpleasant consequences, you should follow the rules of care.

There are a number of prohibitions that must be strictly adhered to - they apply for the entire period of healing and restoration of the skin. It lasts up to 4 weeks, depending on the individual characteristics of the body.

By the way!
These rules remain relevant even after correction.
In order for the skin to recover faster and the desired result to be established, it is strictly prohibited during the healing period:

1. expose the body to increased physical activity and actively sweat;
2. visit baths, saunas, public swimming pools and ponds;
3. sunbathe, expose treated areas to direct sunlight;
4. apply decorative cosmetics in place of permanent makeup, use care cosmetics (hemp, peelings, gels, etc.) in these areas;
5. For 5-7 days you should not wet the area where the coloring pigment was applied.

Perhaps the specialist will recommend special preparations, creams that ensure rapid healing and soften the crusts that form.

Relative contraindications for eyebrow tattooing

To ensure that the procedure does not cause harm, it is worth considering many points that also affect the aesthetic result of eyebrow tattooing. Are there any contraindications that are not strictly prohibited for this procedure? There are such restrictions, but in order to ignore them, first consult with the master. Sometimes it is enough to postpone the session to a more suitable period.

1. Pregnancy and lactation.

What are the contraindications for eyebrow tattooing? Pregnancy and breastfeeding are a serious reason to postpone the procedure. Especially in the first three months of pregnancy, as well as during its complex course. A good specialist will recommend that you reschedule the session for several weeks, even if the doctor you are seeing at that moment has approved the procedure. Remember that in the second half of the term, permanent makeup is safer for both the fetus and the expectant mother. If complications arise during pregnancy, avoid tattooing altogether.

If you have increased sensitivity to chemicals or a high pain threshold, then it is better to avoid such procedures during pregnancy. Tattooing is a rather painful procedure; it can cause spasms and tone the uterus, which is quite dangerous. Pregnant women should not use painkillers. So find another way to make your eyebrows look beautiful.

Permanent care products contain substances that may be harmful to a child if ingested along with milk. Therefore, eyebrow tattooing has contraindications during lactation.

2. Menstruation.

The eyebrow tattoo procedure has contraindications during the menstrual cycle. Many people know that during menstruation, any cosmetic procedures sometimes give unpredictable results. For example, dyeing your hair at the beginning of the cycle may not be effective and may even ruin your hair. Menstruation is accompanied by a decrease in blood clotting, and the woman’s body becomes more sensitive. For this reason, there is a possibility that eyebrow tattooing will not be successful. The best time for such a procedure is the middle of the cycle.

3. Age.

Persons under 18 years of age get permanent treatment only for very serious reasons. For example, if a girl is forced to resort to plastic surgery for medical reasons. If you look too young, be prepared to prove your age with a document.

It happens that a minor girl insists on the procedure without any particular reason. The master may agree to perform tattooing if the client has no contraindications and the parents have given written consent.

4. Blood pressure disorders.

Hypertension (as well as hypotension) is a reason to think about canceling a tattoo session. The most dangerous thing is if you experience pressure surges. A week before the procedure, monitor these parameters with a tonometer. And be sure to measure your blood pressure before visiting the specialist on the day of the procedure.

5. Allergies.

If a high quality pigment is used for permanent eyebrows, then you don’t have to worry about possible allergies. However, there is a possibility of an unpredictable reaction of the body to the anesthesia that is given during the tattooing process.

Of course, you don't have to use painkillers. But it is best to test the drug in advance. Apply a small amount of it to the inner bend of your elbow and wait about twenty minutes. If there are signs of irritation, even minor ones, then you should not use this anesthetic.

6. Viral infections.

The human body is constantly attacked by pathogenic microbes that cause a variety of ailments. Any viruses and infections are a contraindication for eyebrow tattooing. If you suspect this disease, first get tested by a doctor.

During the tattooing process, papillomas and warts can be damaged. As a result, they will begin to grow quickly, and this entails unpleasant consequences. Be careful.

7. Recent operations and serious illnesses.

For the procedure to be successful, the client's immune system must be in good order. If your body is weakened for some reason or you are going through a recovery period after surgery or serious treatment, refuse tattooing.

8. Drug treatment.

What other contraindications are there for eyebrow tattooing? It is better not to do the procedure during radiation and chemotherapy.

In addition, strong antibiotics, retinoids, anticoagulants, corticosteroids, some vitamins and dietary supplements are not compatible with tattooing, since eyebrow tinting compositions are not compatible with the listed drugs.

First, complete the course of taking strong medications, and after a couple of weeks you can go to the specialist.

How permanent eyebrow makeup is performed. 3 techniques

There are three techniques for applying color pigment to the eyebrow area. Let's look at each of them.

Powdery

It is the most common. Characterized by effectiveness. The coloring pigment is shaded under the skin. The result is a soft, delicate pattern that does not have sharp transitions or contours. The resulting effect is similar to the use of decorative cosmetics.

The main advantages of powder technology

1. Naturalness. Eyebrows take on the most natural look possible; one gets the feeling that the woman has just left the office of a professional makeup artist.
2. Painless. There is no pain during the session, only mild discomfort. Skin damage is minimal.
3. Masking effect. You can hide minor imperfections and previous damage.
4. Versatility. The powder technique suits any style and can be performed on any skin type.

Microblading

Its essence lies in drawing each individual hair. For this, a special tool is used - a manipulator. An incredible effect of realism of each individual drawn hair is achieved.

Microblading is divided into two categories:

1. eastern - hairs are drawn in a chaotic, random order, which creates naturalness;
2. European - each hair is drawn strictly in one direction and only one size.

Note!
Microblading should only be performed by a professional artist with experience in this field.

Main benefits of microblading

1. Painless.
2. Excellent result. Eyebrows look beautiful and attractive.
3. Masking effect. Even significant flaws are successfully masked, including: asymmetry, lack of hairs, etc.
4. Variety of shapes. It's easy to create any eyebrow shape.
5. Well-groomed. Permanent eyebrow makeup using the microblading technique allows you to achieve maximum visual grooming.

Mixed

This implies a combination of the two techniques described above. The mixed method allows you to achieve:

1. volume;
2. saturation;
3. naturalness.

The professionalism of the master is important - this is the only way to achieve a harmonious combination of the two techniques and the naturalness of the final result.

Intermediate output

The master determines which technique to choose after listening to the client and studying his wishes. The cosmetologist gives his recommendations, talks about the advantages of the proposed solution, and gives professional recommendations. The final choice remains with the client.

If you have already had your eyebrows tattooed: contraindications after the procedure

Be careful with the permanent makeup area after the first procedure. The skin in this area is severely injured by the device. The pigment can behave in the most unpredictable ways.

• Some time after the session a crust will appear. It is prohibited to wash your face before it forms. You are only allowed to wipe your face with a cotton pad.
• You cannot tint your eyebrows with decorative cosmetics during their restoration, as this may affect the injected pigment.
• When a crust appears, do not peel it off or scratch the affected area, even if it is severely itchy. Otherwise the color will be uneven.
• Forget about scrubs and aggressive facial cleansers. Avoid using them for as long as possible. This will prolong the results of the procedure.
• During the recovery period after permanent and powder eyebrow tattooing, contraindications include saunas, steam baths, solariums and sunbathing in general. Before going outside, apply cream with an SPF filter to your face and wear glasses or a wide-brimmed hat.

Why you need to do permanent eyebrow makeup. 3 valid reasons

It would take a long time to list the benefits of a procedure performed in a salon by a professional technician. Let's focus on 3 main positive aspects.

Attractive appearance in any situation

After permanent eyebrow makeup is done and the skin is restored, the girl will look great in any situation:

1. immediately after waking up;
2. after shower and bath;
3. after swimming in the river or sea;
4. after training;
5. after a walk in the rain;
6. and so on.

No allergic reactions

Coloring pigments are high-quality, safe, do not cause allergic reactions and are suitable for all skin types. What can't be said about decorative cosmetics - for sure, every woman has more than once encountered the problem of rashes or redness when using pencils, eye shadow, mascara and other cosmetics.

More free time

It is difficult to say how much time every woman spends on applying decorative cosmetics in her life. Usually spend at least 20 minutes every morning “getting ready.” Often, the process not only takes a lot of time, but also takes away the nerves and leads to mild stress.

You definitely have to control your appearance throughout the day - make sure that your mascara doesn’t run or your pencil doesn’t smear. Permanent eyebrow makeup eliminates these problems and inconveniences!

When is it not worth getting an eyebrow tattoo?

After returning from vacation, many girls decide to get their eyebrows permanent, as the hairs fade and become lighter in the sun. We advise you to wait a little with this procedure and use decorative cosmetics for a while.

After tanning, the skin becomes highly pigmented and flakes. Sun-damaged epidermis can prevent you from getting a high-quality eyebrow tattoo. The skin needs to be allowed to recover, and only then go to the salon.

Contraindications for eyebrow tattooing are hot weather in summer, severe frost in winter and other unfavorable climatic conditions, since they prevent the skin from healing quickly. After the procedure, try to spend less time outdoors so that your face is less exposed to aggressive environmental influences.

Cosmetologists believe that it is ideal to do permanent makeup in early autumn. At this time, both the weather and the person’s immunity are in optimal condition, and recovery is faster, which affects the result.

Let's debunk the myths. 3 common misconceptions

The procedure for permanent eyebrow makeup is surrounded by myths. Some girls and women are simply worried and worried. Others read “horror stories” on social networks and on unverified sites, and distribute them among their friends and employees. We have selected three of the most common misconceptions and will debunk them - this will be enough to make sure that your sessions are safe.

Myth 1. “It hurts a lot”

This misconception overlaps slightly with reality, but it should be called a banal manipulation. Information about pain dates back to ancient times, when this type of make-up was just developing. The equipment used back then was not as advanced as it is today.

By the way!
Another reason for the spread of the myth of pain is that many people confuse the procedure with a regular tattoo.
But when tattooing, the needle and ink are inserted deep into the skin, which is what causes the pain. Nowadays, modern equipment and advanced consumables are used. The paint is injected shallowly under the skin. Trauma is minimal. If necessary, the specialist applies an anesthetic substance – gel. Discomfort is reduced to a minimum.

Myth 2. “In the future, eyebrows will change color”

The misconception is again associated with old methods and technologies, the usual tattoo. Yes, with a regular tattoo, the paint changes color over time, acquiring different shades (depending on the characteristics of the body):

1. reddish;
2. yellowish;
3. bluish;
4. grayish.

The reason for this is the deep introduction of paint under the skin. The body actively fights the substance and its shade changes.

With permanent makeup, the paint is not injected deeply. In addition, it has a different nature of origin, and then after a certain time it is completely eliminated by the body and cannot affect the color of natural hairs.

Myth 3. “Constant correction is necessary”

This is mistake. Mandatory correction is carried out once - 3-4 weeks after the first session. When the skin has completely healed, the master examines the result of his work and makes adjustments if necessary. This does not mean that during the first session he did his job poorly or carelessly. The explanation is simple:

1. secreted ichor and blood make it difficult to fully see the entire surface being treated;
2. During healing and separation of crusts, some of the pigment may separate.

During correction, you can ask the cosmetologist to make the color more saturated.

Another adjustment to the pattern is carried out when the pigment is almost completely removed from the body. If a woman wants permanent eyebrow makeup to remain, the master resumes the drawing or makes a new sketch. Such a correction need not be made - then the woman will simply use decorative cosmetics and walk around with her natural eyebrows.

Absolute contraindications for eyebrow tattooing

When tattooing eyebrows, there are strict contraindications when it cannot be done at all, and restrictions that allow permanent tattooing in some cases.

Recommended reading:

• How microblading differs from eyebrow tattooing: features of procedures and care
• Eyebrow tattoo: consequences and contraindications

The procedure is prohibited in the following situations:

1. Forms of diabetes mellitus. Due to lack of sugar in the blood, diabetic patients have poor skin regeneration. After the session, the body will have a long and difficult recovery.
2. Poor blood clotting . This ailment can have many causes, but in any case it will complicate the tattoo procedure. During the session, the eyebrow may bleed, and then it will be difficult to stop it. This will prevent the master from introducing pigment. In addition, the blood will wash away the paint in the upper layer of the skin, which will shorten the life of the permanent.
3. Use of drugs or alcohol before the procedure. There is a memo that reflects all the recommendations before the procedure. It states that you are not allowed to drink alcohol, energy drinks or even coffee before the session. They thin the blood, as a result the symptoms described above may appear. This will prevent the artist from performing a high-quality tattoo. And drugs actually worsen blood counts.
4. AIDS. This is one of the most serious contraindications. Tattooing in this case is strictly prohibited.

All of the above situations give the cosmetologist grounds to refuse you the procedure, since he is responsible both for the client’s health and for the result of his work.
