What Is Microblading?

What Are Risks Associated With It?

Like any other procedure that involves breaking the surface of the skin, there are some risks associated with microblading. There is always the chance you may have an allergic reaction. Risks associated with it are primarily due to inept practitioners, as there is no regulation for microblading, so you could potentially end up with a person who does not follow safety procedures or who is not capable of producing good results. The primary concern is simply that you may get an infection, either from something transmitted on an improperly cleaned tool or from something you encounter during recovery.

There is also some concern the result might not be what you want. A poorly trained microblading artist may create brows that are misshapen, too dark, or crooked. You can mitigate many of these risks by selecting a licensed esthetician who works in a high-quality salon and has proof of their training. Be sure to have a lengthy consultation and ensure the outline for your new brows is up to your standards before proceeding.
