What is one common side effect of microblading?

Redness and swelling are common side effects of microblading because the procedure involves making small incisions in the skin to deposit pigment. This process can trigger an inflammatory response in the body, leading to temporary redness and swelling around the treated area. These reactions are normal as the skin heals after the procedure, and they typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days.

The other options—such as increased hair growth, dry skin, and color fading—are not recognized as typical immediate side effects of microblading. While some clients may experience color fading over time due to various factors like skin type and aftercare, it is not a direct side effect of the microblading process itself immediately following the treatment.
