# How to Sterilize Microblading Tools: A Professional Guide
Sterilizing microblading tools is essential to prevent infections and meet industry health standards. Below are key steps and best practices to ensure safe, hygienic procedures.
Why Sterilization Matters
- Prevents cross-contamination and infections (e.g., hepatitis, HIV).
- Complies with health regulations (OSHA, CDC guidelines).
- Maintains client trust and professional reputation.
Sterilization Methods for Microblading Tools
1. Autoclaving (Most Effective)
- Uses steam under pressure (121°C/250°F for 15-30 mins).
- Kills bacteria, viruses, and spores.
- Recommended for reusable stainless steel handles.
2. Chemical Disinfection (For Non-Autoclavable Tools)
- Soak in EPA-approved disinfectants (e.g., Barbicide, CaviCide) for 10+ mins.
- Rinse with sterile water before use.
- Avoid alcohol—it doesn’t kill all pathogens.
3. Single-Use Disposable Tools
- Blades, needles, and cartridges should never be reused.
- Discard immediately after use in a sharps container.
Pre-Sterilization Cleaning Steps
1. Pre-clean tools – Remove pigment residue with an ultrasonic cleaner or enzymatic cleaner.
2. Rinse thoroughly – Use distilled water to avoid mineral deposits.
3. Dry completely – Moisture can compromise sterilization.
Post-Sterilization Storage
- Store in sterile pouches or UV cabinets.
- Label with sterilization dates (expires in 30 days if unopened).
Industry Standards & Compliance
- Follow CDC, OSHA, and local health department guidelines.
- Document sterilization processes for audits.
By adhering to these protocols, professionals ensure safe, compliant microblading services. For High Quality sterilized tools, explore QM Makeup’s certified supplies.

What are the advantages of microblading disposable pen over ordinary microblading disposable pen?
1. More hygienic: disposable use only, reducing the risk of cross-infection among customers.
2. More precise: the angled pen tip allows the operator to perform very precise micro-carving.
3. More convenient: the pen is discarded after opening and use, and no cleaning and disinfection are required.
4. More efficient: it reduces the time to prepare and clean the tools, shortening the operation time.

How do I make diy lash perm?
1. Clean the eyelashes and skin around the eyes with clean water and cotton pads
2. Apply glue to the back of the silicone perm rod and stick it on the upper eyelid. After the silicone perm rod is fixed on the eyelid, cover the lower eyelashes with the eye patch.
3. Apply glue to the surface of the silicone perm rod, use a Y-shaped brush or a separate tool to stick the eyelashes on the silicone perm rod, and comb the eyelashes straight to ensure that the eyelashes do not overlap. After the glue dries and fixes the position of the eyelashes, proceed to the next step.
4. Apply the perm agent to the eyelashes to soften the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Remove the perm agent, apply the neutralizer to shape the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes
6. Remove the neutralizer, clean the eyelashes and residual glue with a detergent, and remove the silicone perm rod and eye patch.
7. Apply Collagen conditioner to nourish the eyelashes, and you're done!
