Microblading Practice Exam

Which skin condition could contraindicate microblading procedures?

1. Active acne, eczema, or other skin infections

2. Dry skin or mild sunburn

3. Normal skin with no issues

4. Psoriasis only

The correct answer is: Active acne, eczema, or other skin infections

Active acne, eczema, or other skin infections are significant contraindications for microblading procedures due to the increased risk of complications. When a client's skin is affected by these conditions, the integrity of the skin barrier may be compromised, making it more susceptible to infection and irritation during and after the microblading treatment. Additionally, the transferral of bacteria or pathogens from active lesions can lead to severe infections, complications, or poor healing outcomes. In contrast, conditions like dry skin or mild sunburn, while they may cause some discomfort, do not present the same level of risk associated with infectious or inflammatory skin conditions. Normal skin, which has no issues, would be considered an ideal state for proceeding with microblading, and psoriasis, while it can be a concern, is not always an outright contraindication unless it is active and severe. Therefore, ensuring that the skin is free from active infections and significant inflammation is crucial for a safe and successful microblading procedure.
