Medications:

1. Cholesterol and Blood Pressure Medications: These can cause a bit more bleeding during the microblading process. This might mix with the pigment, affecting how it settles into the skin. The result? Your brows might look a tad more faded than expected. It's still possible to get microblading done, but keep this in mind.
2. Thyroid Medications: If you're on these, your microbladed brows might say their goodbyes a bit sooner. You might need touch-ups a bit earlier than others.
3. Fish Oil and Blood-Thinning Supplements: Planning for microblading? It's best to pause these supplements a week before your appointment.
4. Aspirin/Ibuprofen and Other Blood Thinners: These are a no-go before microblading. They can increase bleeding, affecting the procedure's outcome.
5. Accutane Users: Sorry, but microblading isn't in the cards if you're currently on Accutane.

Treatments and Their Impact:

1. Retinol and Botox: Hold off on these for 2-4 weeks before your microblading session.
2. Cyclosporine (Restasis): This can make your eyelids more sensitive. It's recommended to stop using it a month before and wait for two weeks post-microblading to resume.
3. Recent Chemical Peels or Similar Treatments: If your skin is still in recovery mode from these treatments, it's best to wait before getting microblading.

Health Conditions to Consider:

1. Diabetes and Healing Complications: If you have diabetes or a condition that affects healing, chat with your doctor before considering microblading.
2. Autoimmune Diseases or Immune-Weakening Treatments: These can up your risk of infection post-microblading.
3. Hemophiliacs: Microblading isn't recommended due to bleeding risks.
4. Skin Conditions Like Psoriasis or Eczema: If these affect your facial area, it's best to skip microblading.

Communication is Key: Always be upfront with your esthetician about any medications, treatments, or health conditions you have. And remember, never stop any medication or treatment without your doctor's go-ahead. If you're unsure about how your health might interact with microblading, it's always best to consult with your physician first.
