Consult your microblading artist and your healthcare provider for guidance on any medications or supplements you&#8217;re taking.<\/p>\n<h3>The Impact of Sun Exposure and Tanning Before Microblading<\/h3>\n<p>Excessive sun exposure or tanning can cause the skin to be more sensitive, leading to potential complications during the microblading process.
