Which of the following is a potential outcome of inadequate skin healing after microblading?

Inadequate skin healing after microblading can significantly impact the retention of the pigment and the overall appearance of the brows. When the skin does not heal properly, it can lead to uneven pigment absorption or loss, creating a patchy, uneven look in the brows. This can result in aesthetic disappointments for clients who expect well-defined and natural-looking brows post-procedure.

While other outcomes like permanent scars and brow fading are also concerns related to poor healing, the aspect of pigment retention and overall appearance is critical, as it directly relates to the visual outcome that the client seeks from the microblading process. Ensuring that the skin heals adequately is vital to maintaining the quality of the microblading results.
