Microblading Practice Exam

Excess oiliness in a client’s skin type can indeed cause the pigment to fade faster. This is primarily due to the increased natural oils being produced, which can impact how well the pigment retains within the skin. Oily skin creates a barrier that may hinder the absorption of the pigment during the microblading process, leading to a less saturated appearance. Additionally, the excess oil can also contribute to an ongoing migration of the pigment, meaning that it has a tendency to spread out or fade more quickly than it might on drier skin types.

On the other hand, deeper pigmentation might occur in certain scenarios, but the underlying issue remains that oiliness affects pigment retention negatively. While longer healing times can be a concern with some skin types, oily skin typically does not correlate with prolonged healing; rather, it may heal faster but result in poor pigment retention. Lastly, excess oil can actually obscure the precision of the strokes, making them appear less defined rather than more so.
