You might not think that microblading is all that significant. You’re not by yourself in this. People who assumed they could simply show up to their microblading session without any preparation often contact us with questions after discovering they can’t even get a cup of coffee before.
Although microblading may appear to be a very simple treatment, it nonetheless produces damage to the body and can result in bleeding.

What Impact Does Coffee Have on Microblading?
In order to apply cosmetic pigments to draw the correct contour of the eyebrows, the skin must be opened up or broken during the microblading technique.
- Skin Sensitivity Increase
Like many other PMU procedures, microblading doesn’t come without some discomfort. Although it depends on each person’s skin sensitivity and pain threshold, experiencing discomfort throughout the process is essentially a given.
This can result in a lower pain tolerance, which may already be low in certain people, making the microblading operation more unpleasant than it would otherwise be.
Increased sensitivity of the skin can also lead to more bleeding, which can affect pigment retention and the subsequent healing process.
- During Treatment, There Is a Lot of Bleeding
You can anticipate that drinking coffee before getting microblades can cause your blood vessels to dilate, which may result in more blood flowing to your skin.
It can be difficult for the PMU artist to deposit pigment evenly due to the considerable bleeding that can occur throughout the microblading technique.
Additionally, it might make the surrounding area rather unkempt and reduce the visibility of the treated region, leading to subpar job.
- Slow Rate of Healing
Caffeine and coffee can be detrimental to the skin’s ability to regenerate. This indicates that the microblading procedure may result in greater skin trauma than it typically would, and healing might not proceed as quickly or effectively as it normally would.
A slow healing rate increases the risk of an infection by causing the incisions produced during the microblading treatment to remain open for a longer period of time. The incisions must also correctly shut and scab in order to provide the greatest results.

They will typically choose to reschedule the appointment in order to create the best conditions for a good outcome.
