Permanent Brow Makeup on GLP-1: Before You Book

If you are considering longer-lasting eyebrow color during treatment, discuss more than the shape you want today.

Bring other cosmetic plans to the consultation

AAD describes permanent makeup as cosmetic tattooing, including eyebrow coloring. It recommends a dermatologist's consultation about desired results and possible complications from skin allergens. Tell them about planned or previous fillers and botulinum toxin treatments; AAD notes these can distort permanent makeup. [2]

Ask for the pigment record

AAD recommends that artists record each pigment's color, manufacturer and lot number. Ask for those details for your own records. [2]

FDA says no color additives are approved for injection into skin for cosmetic tattooing. It regulates tattoo inks as cosmetics, while tattooing practice is regulated locally. Ask your local health department which facility and practitioner requirements apply. An ink or studio claim is not a federal safety guarantee. [1]

Get aftercare before the procedure

AAD recommends that artists provide care instructions, signs of complications and where to seek medical help. Its guidance identifies infection and allergic reactions among possible complications. Ask for instructions you can keep. [2]
