Microblading While Pregnant or Breastfeeding: Is it Safe?

The transformative potential of microblading is undisputed. However, the safety of the procedure during pivotal phases like pregnancy and nursing raises concerns. At Ellebrow, prioritizing the safety of our clients and ensuring well-informed decisions are at the heart of our values. Here's what we believe you should be aware of before considering microblading during these crucial times.

Microblading During Pregnancy: Is It Advisable?

A frequently posed question to our skilled artists at Ellebrow revolves around the feasibility of microblading during pregnancy. Consensus amongst industry professionals points towards a unanimous recommendation: it's best to refrain from microblading when expecting.

The Essence of Microblading:

Microblading is a refined cosmetic tattooing process that crafts natural-looking eyebrows. By employing a delicate blade to create superficial incisions resembling eyebrow hairs, followed by the application of premium permanent makeup pigments, results last between 2 to 4 years. Periodic touch-ups enhance and prolong these breathtaking results.

Why Ellebrow Recommends Postponing Microblading During Pregnancy or Breastfeeding :

Concerns Over Infection:

While the precision and expertise at Ellebrow minimize skin trauma, the possibility of infection, ranging from minor skin issues to serious blood infections, cannot be completely negated. Protecting both the mother and the unborn child from potential threats is paramount.

Hormonal Impact on Pigment Integrity:

Pregnancy-induced hormonal changes can unpredictably alter the appearance of PMU pigments. The effects might only become evident post-pregnancy when hormones stabilize, potentially affecting the desired outcome.

Swelling and Symmetry:

Physiological changes during pregnancy can influence facial structures. The eyebrows, crafted during this period, might not align with your post-pregnancy facial symmetry.

Topical Anesthetics and Pregnancy:

The numbing agents employed contain epinephrine, a compound that's not recommended for expectant mothers due to its potential cardiovascular implications.

Healing Dynamics:

Pregnancy-related hormonal fluctuations can affect blood circulation, potentially leading to amplified bleeding during the procedure, impacting pigment deposition and results.

Pigment Safety:

While Ellebrow is rigorous about the quality of pigments, the complete safety of these compounds during pregnancy remains a topic of research.

Considering Microblading During Breastfeeding?

The postpartum phase and breastfeeding period are times of heightened vulnerability. Transmission of infections and potential pigment components through breastfeeding underscores the importance of caution.

When is it Safe to Embark on the Microblading Journey?

For those considering or undergoing fertility treatments, like IVF, or actively trying to conceive, Ellebrow advises deferring the microblading procedure. This ensures your safety and optimizes the outcome of the treatment.

Ellebrow's Parting Wisdom:

Embracing microblading can be a transformative journey, but timing is essential. We believe in undertaking this journey post-pregnancy and nursing to ensure the safest and most rewarding experience. Trust in Ellebrow's commitment to beauty, safety, and excellence.
