Am I a good candidate?

Taking certain medications can effect your skin and the way it heals. Taking many different medications at once will also make it harder to predict the effectiveness of a permanent make-up procedure (no, its not the same as a regular 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)
• Vorapaxar (Zontivity)
• Dipyridamole (Persantine)
• Coumadin
• Pradaxia (Dabigatran)
• Xarelto (Rivaroxaban)
• Eliquis (Apixaban)
• Savaysa (Edoxaban)

Although PMU is a non-invasive procedure, certain medical conditions or medications disqualify clients from getting any permanent makeup for safety reasons. Please read the conditions below and if you're unsure if any apply to you, please consult with your doctor or dermatologist and obtain a doctor's clearance if necessary. 

For any general questions feel free to text (850) 426-4156 or send an email to morbrowsstudio@gmail.com.

Contraindications: 

• Previous cosmetic tattoos must be approved
• Pregnant
• Breastfeeding
• Under 18 years of age
• Diabetes -Higher blood sugars levels can effect healing. Must be controlled and should consult with Physician.
• Vaccinated or Boosted in the last 30 days- immune response may negatively effect healing process.
• Halt all anti-aging products and exfoliating acids 4 weeks prior to your appointment.
• Symptoms of cold, flu, etc.- book your appointment when recovered.
• Keloids & History of Keloids
• Cancer/ chemotherapy/radiation within one year- written physician clearance required.
• Skin conditions- Any active skin diseases, symptoms, or irritation that appears on the eyebrow area will not be serviced and skin must be clear of all issues and off medications prior to booking: MRSA, eczema, psoriasis, shingles, rashes, dermatitis, rosacea, sunburn, wounds, acne, allergic reactions, keratosis, milia, ingrown hairs, etc. 
• Recent surgeries and procedures done anywhere on the face- A significant amount of stretching of the skin and pressure is applied on the face during permanent makeup procedures. Also, different aftercare is assigned for different treatments and procedures and they must be followed for a successful healed result. Please refrain from scheduling if you are less than 6 months post op from a recent surgical procedure on the face- due to the nature of the procedure (as mentioned above) you must be healed and obtain a written doctor's clearance to ensure you are safe to proceed with permanent makeup. 
• Must be completely healed from any and all recent procedures done on the face. This includes but not limited to- chemical peels, filler (on or near the eyebrow area), PDO threads, PRF, laser treatments, waxing, micro-needling. Consult with your technician regarding healing time and when it's safe to undergo permanent makeup.
• No botox at least 2 weeks prior and 4-6 weeks after. As mentioned above, permanent makeup entails placing a lot of pressure on the face and stretching of the skin. Double check with your injector if 2 weeks is enough time to not disrupt the healing and settling.
• Fillers administered from the temples upward on the face- again, because of the required stretching and pressure applied to the face and because face fillers need time to settle and integrate into tissue, please wait 4 weeks after fillers to get permanent makeup in the area. Then please wait until your touch up appointment has healed before getting fillers or injections.
• Must be off antibiotics and steroids for 2 weeks before booking
• Must be off any brow growth serum for 2 weeks prior to booking- hair follicles and skin are hypersensitive and will bleed easily
• Must be off Accutane for 12 months
• Major heart problems/ pacemaker/ defibrillator/ stint
• Uncontrolled high blood pressure
• Thin vascular skin or broken capillaries 
• Hepatitis
• Epilepsy
• Glaucoma
• Autoimmune disorders -some conditions are restricted from PMU and are at higher risk for Koebner phenomenon. Could mean more complex healing process. Consultation with Physician and a Physician's note is mandatory prior to booking. 
• Thyroid conditions + thyroid medications- pigment may not retain properly or turn gray/ashy. This doesn't disqualify you, however, this information allows you to make a more informed decision.
• Allergic or resistant to numbing agents- if you have issues with numbing at the dentist most likely you'll have issues numbing with PMU. 
• Organ transplant recipient 
• On immunosuppressants
• Hemophilia and bleeding disorders
• Healing disorders
• Blood thinning medications -Must consult with Physician. Blood thinning medications cause more bleeding than usual resulting in poor pigment retention and undesired results. 
• History of hyperpigmentation
• Unable to lay on back and stay still for 3 hours

Please note: Wound healing tends to be slower in Vegetarians and Vegans due to low levels of iron and B12, which are essential in producing collagen, a crucial component in wound healing. You may proceed with treatment at your discretion.
