If you have been researching microblading and wondering if it is the right solution for your brows, you are not alone. Microblading has become one of the most sought-after semi-permanent beauty treatments in recent years.
At NYC PMU, our goal is to guide clients through the process with honesty and expertise, helping them decide what works best for their skin, style, and lifestyle.
Choosing a beauty treatment is not just about following trends. It’s about making informed decisions that align with your needs, comfort level, and long-term satisfaction.
While microblading can offer impressive, natural-looking results, it is not suitable for everyone. The success of the treatment depends on several factors, including your skin type, any existing medical conditions, and how closely you follow aftercare instructions.
This article outlines who is an ideal candidate for microblading, who may need to take extra precautions, and how to approach the process safely and effectively. By understanding whether this technique fits your profile, you can feel more confident about investing in your appearance with the support of a qualified professional.
1. Understanding microblading and what it offers
Microblading is a form of semi-permanent tattooing used to enhance the appearance of eyebrows. Fine, hair-like strokes are applied using a manual tool that deposits pigment into the skin. The goal is to create a natural, fuller brow that complements your facial features.
What makes this treatment so popular is the ability to wake up each day with perfectly defined brows. Especially in a city like Barcelona, where style and efficiency meet, microblading offers a long-lasting solution with minimal daily effort.

2. Skin types that respond well to microblading
Microblading works best on dry to normal skin types. These skin types tend to hold pigment better, leading to more defined and long-lasting results. If your skin is:
- Dry: You are likely to see crisp, clean strokes
- Normal: Your skin provides good balance for pigment retention
Clients with these skin types often see the most precise results with minimal fading between touch-ups.
At NYC PMU, each client receives a personalized consultation to determine skin type and treatment suitability.
3. Conditions that may affect results
Certain skin conditions or health factors can impact how well the skin retains pigment. While not absolute contraindications, these conditions require extra care and honest communication before beginning treatment:
- Oily skin: May blur the strokes over time
- Acne-prone skin around the brows: Can cause pigment to heal unevenly
- Rosacea or sensitive skin: May increase redness and affect healing
Additionally, people undergoing chemotherapy or those with immune system issues should speak with a physician before proceeding.
We always recommend reviewing our studio protocols and aftercare to understand how to protect your skin and results post-treatment.
4. Who should avoid microblading?
There are a few cases where microblading is not advised:
- Active skin infections or open wounds in the brow area
- Pregnant or breastfeeding clients (due to hormonal changes and healing variables)
- Clients with keloid scarring tendencies
- Those with uncontrolled diabetes or blood clotting disorders
If you fall into any of these categories, we advise postponing treatment or considering alternative options within our range of permanent makeup services.
5. Safety tips for the best experience
Choosing the right artist and studio is crucial. At NYC PMU in Barcelona, we follow strict hygiene standards, work only with high-quality pigments, and use techniques tailored to your skin.
To prepare for your session:
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours prior
- Do not take aspirin or blood thinners
- Refrain from waxing or tanning the brow area before your appointment
After your session:
- Follow your aftercare instructions exactly
- Avoid sun exposure and makeup on the treated area
- Book your touch-up within 4 to 6 weeks
