Microblading Practice Exam

Which of the following is a sign of infection after a microblading procedure?

1. Minor redness

2. Persistent pain

3. Excessive redness and swelling

4. A quick healing process

The correct answer is: Excessive redness and swelling

Excessive redness and swelling after a microblading procedure can indicate an infection. In a typical healing process, some level of redness and minor swelling is expected, but excessive symptoms can suggest that the body's immune system is responding to an infection, which is not part of the normal healing trajectory. Normal reactions may include minor redness and slight discomfort, but if the redness and swelling escalate or persist beyond the usual healing timeline, it becomes a cause for concern. It’s important to monitor these signs closely, as they can lead to further complications if left unaddressed. Understanding these symptoms helps ensure that practitioners can intervene proactively if an infection does occur, which is vital for the safety and satisfaction of clients.
