PMU Eyebrow Design & Microblading 3

Question 1

In microblading, what is 'needle depth' and why is it critical?

Accepted Answer

How far into the skin the blade penetrates; too shallow causes poor retention, too deep causes scarring

Answer

Correct needle depth targets the upper dermis; going too shallow results in quick pigment loss, while going too deep causes scarring, blowouts, and migration.

Question 2

Which pigment undertone is typically used to correct an eyebrow that has healed with an unwanted blue-grey cast?

Accepted Answer

Orange or warm brown corrector

Answer

Orange and warm brown pigments neutralize blue-grey undertones because orange is complementary to blue on the color wheel.

Question 3

What is the recommended skin stretching technique during microblading strokes?

Accepted Answer

Gentle three-point stretch using the non-dominant hand to create a taut surface

Answer

A gentle three-point stretch creates a taut, even surface that allows the blade to glide smoothly and deposit pigment consistently without distorting the skin.

Question 4

After a microblading session, the strokes appear very dark and bold. What should the client be told?

Accepted Answer

The brows will soften and lighten by 30-50% during the healing process

Answer

Freshly microbladed brows appear 30-50% darker and bolder than the healed result due to oxidation and surface pigment that will flake off during healing.

Question 5

What is the primary difference between nano brows and traditional microblading?

Accepted Answer

Nano brows use a digital machine with a single needle to create hair-like strokes

Answer

Nano brows (nano needling) use a PMU machine with a single fine needle to create extremely precise, fine hair strokes, unlike the manual hand tool used in microblading.
