Maintaining sterile microblading tools is critical for client safety and optimal results. Improper cleaning can lead to infections, cross-contamination, or tool damage. Follow these best practices to ensure compliance with health regulations and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
Why Proper Cleaning Matters

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process
1. Pre-Cleaning Preparation

2. Immediate Post-Use Cleaning

Micro Blade
Do your microblades contain nickel?
Our flex microblading needle are made of 304 stainless steel, which does contain traces of nickel. The addition of nickel can can enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel and increase its toughness and strength, ensuring that the material will perform consistently in a variety of environments. Since the microblades are only implanted through the skin, there is no adverse reaction to the skin under normal circumstances. If you are concerned about this, a patch test can be performed prior to the procedure.
Cleaning Foam Tool
Is your eyelash extension care products safe?
Yes, very safe. Safety is the first element in developing our products, our Eyelash Shampoo Cleanser has a rich foam and is waterless, so it prevents water from getting into the eyes. The ingredients are safe, friendly to sensitive eyes and are anti-allergenic. It can also be used on sensitive skin.
