Permanent Make-up and MRI — Is the Scan Safe?
A question that concerns many women before a permanent make-up treatment: can I still have an MRI without problems afterwards? The concern is understandable, as contradictory statements circulate online. At Kosmetikinstitut Expert in Berlin, Olga Keller, owner and master artist, informs her clients honestly and soundly about this topic. In this article we summarise the most important points.
What is the concern about?
An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) works with strong magnetic fields. Some pigments in permanent make-up or tattoos used to contain iron oxides or metal particles that could theoretically react with the magnetic field. In very rare cases, a slight feeling of warmth or tingling in the treated area has been reported.
Important to know: such reactions are extremely rare, mostly harmless and temporary. According to current knowledge, there is practically no serious danger with high-quality, modern permanent make-up.
Why pigment quality is decisive
The most important factor is the quality of the pigments used. Olga Keller works exclusively with certified pigments made in Germany — free of heavy metals and iron oxide. It is precisely these metal-free pigments that do not react in the way that was theoretically possible with old or inferior colours.
So those who value high-quality pigments additionally minimise the already small concern. This is one of the many reasons why choosing an experienced artist with tested materials is so important.
What you should do before an MRI
Simply inform the medical staff before the examination that you wear permanent make-up — just as you would mention tattoos or piercings. The staff can then assess the topic professionally and keep an eye on you during the examination.
Should you notice an unusual feeling in the eyebrow or lid area during the MRI, just let them know. As a rule, however, the examination is completely uncomplicated.
Enjoy permanent make-up without worries
For the vast majority of women, permanent make-up — whether eyebrows, microblading or eyeliner — is a safe, everyday-easing decision that does not stand in the way of an MRI. With high-quality pigments and sound advice, you can enjoy your result with peace of mind.
