Contraindications

Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, offers a long-lasting solution for enhancing facial features, from eyebrows and eyeliner to lips. While the procedure is generally safe for most individuals, it is not suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, skin disorders, medications, and lifestyle factors can increase the risk of complications or affect the healing process. Understanding these contraindications is essential for both practitioners and clients to ensure safety, achieve optimal results, and avoid adverse effects.
