Microblading Practice Exam

If blood appears all over the entire eyebrow after the first round of strokes, what does this indicate?

1. The depth is just right

2. The depth is too deep

3. The skin was not properly prepped

4. The technique used was incorrect

The correct answer is: The depth is too deep

When blood appears all over the entire eyebrow after the first round of microblading strokes, it indicates that the blades have penetrated too deeply into the skin. Microblading is designed to create hair-like strokes in the shallow layers of the skin, particularly the epidermis and upper dermis. If the depth exceeds this, the procedure can damage blood vessels, resulting in excessive bleeding. The other options touch on different aspects of the microblading process. While skin preparation is crucial to minimize complications, if bleeding occurs, it is more directly related to the depth of the strokes rather than the prep itself. Additionally, the technique may be a factor in other scenarios but does not directly correlate with bleeding unless it specifically leads to improper depth. Therefore, recognizing the role of depth is essential for safe and effective microblading practices.
