Medical Disclosure & Your Safety
You may be wondering why medical information matters — especially since it’s personal. While disclosure may feel uncomfortable, your safety depends on it.
What your permanent makeup artist doesn’t know can unintentionally put you at risk. Certain medical conditions and medications can affect bleeding, healing, pigment retention, and overall results. For this reason, full disclosure before your procedure is essential.
All medical information is treated with respect and confidentiality.
Why Disclosure Is Important
If you have a medical condition or take prescription medications, it is crucial to disclose this information before any permanent makeup procedure. Some medications and conditions can make the skin more sensitive, increase bleeding, delay healing, or raise the risk of complications.
Medications That Require Disclosure
Please inform your artist if you are taking any of the following:
-
Antibiotics — Some can make the skin hypersensitive.
-
Blood thinners — May increase bleeding and require shorter sessions or medical clearance.
-
Accutane, Retin-A, or similar medications — These affect the dermal layer of the skin.
-
Anti-rejection medications — May interfere with healing and increase infection risk.
If you are unsure whether a medication applies, it is always best to disclose it. If you have questions or concerns about medical disclosure, please discuss them during your consultation.
