Permanent Make-up and Pregnancy — When It's Okay and When Not
Many expectant and breastfeeding mothers want well-groomed brows without daily effort — especially in a time when there is little time left for themselves. But is permanent make-up allowed during pregnancy? At Kosmetikinstitut Expert in Berlin, Olga Keller, owner and master artist, advises her clients on this honestly and responsibly. In this article we explain what matters.
The clear recommendation: better to wait
Most reputable studios — and Olga Keller too — do not perform permanent make-up during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The reason is simple: there are no sufficient studies on safety, and the health of mother and child always takes priority. Out of pure caution, it is therefore advised against.
This is not a hassle but responsibility. An experienced artist says openly when the timing is not ideal — it is precisely this honesty that protects you and your child.
Why it is advised against during pregnancy
There are several reasons. First, the hormones change the skin, which makes pigment uptake and the healing result unpredictable — the colour can heal differently than planned. Second, any treatment that opens the skin carries a minimal risk of infection, which you absolutely want to avoid during this time.
Third, the skin is often more sensitive, and numbing creams should be avoided during pregnancy — which would make the treatment more uncomfortable. All of this speaks in favour of waiting.
And after the birth or breastfeeding?
Once breastfeeding is complete and the hormone balance has stabilised, nothing stands in the way of permanent make-up. Many mothers use precisely this moment to do something good for themselves: well-groomed eyebrows that save time every morning in the hectic daily life with a baby.
Whether microblading or Powder Brows — Olga Keller advises you which technique best suits your skin after this stage of life.
What you can do in the meantime
If you already had permanent make-up before pregnancy, that is completely harmless — it simply stays. However, it is best to postpone a planned refreshing to the time after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
This way you do not have to do without well-groomed brows and at the same time take no risk. If you have questions, Olga Keller is always there for you honestly.
