# How to Use a Microblading Machine Like a Pro

Microblading machines are essential for creating natural-looking, semi-permanent eyebrows. However, improper use can lead to uneven strokes, poor pigment retention, or client discomfort. This guide covers machine setup, needle selection, technique, and aftercare to help professionals achieve flawless results.

Choosing the Right Machine & Needles

Machine Selection

Opt for a lightweight, ergonomic microblading machine with adjustable speed settings. Rotary and pen-style machines are popular for their precision and ease of use.

Needle Configuration

- Single needles create fine, hair-like strokes.

- Multi-needle cartridges (e.g., 3-5 pins) work for shading or filling.

- Ensure needles are sterile and single-use to prevent contamination.

Preparing the Skin

Cleansing & Numbing

1. Cleanse the area with an alcohol-free solution.

2. Apply a high-quality numbing cream (20-30 minutes before treatment).

Mapping & Design

- Use a brow pencil to outline the shape.

- Follow natural hair growth patterns for realistic results.

Mastering the Technique

Hand Positioning

- Hold the machine at a 45-degree angle for optimal pigment deposit.

- Use light pressure to avoid over-penetration.

Stroke Technique

- Work in small sections, following the mapped design.

- Feathering strokes should mimic natural brow hairs.

- Avoid going too deep (0.2-0.3mm is ideal).

Aftercare & Touch-Ups

Immediate Aftercare

- Apply a healing ointment to soothe the skin.

- Advise clients to avoid water, sweat, and sun exposure for 7-10 days.

Scheduling Touch-Ups

- Recommend a follow-up session 4-6 weeks later for adjustments.

By following these steps, professionals can enhance their microblading skills and deliver consistent, high-quality results. For High Quality machines and supplies, explore QM Makeup’s professional-grade tools.

Micro Blade
What makes your microblades different from other microblades?

Our micro blades are made of 304 stainless steel, which means that the disposable microblading needle are extremely sharp and will give you very natural looking hairline results. They are completely pre-packaged in individual packages and sterilized with ethylene oxide gas. These packages include the lot number, date of manufacture and expiration date. We focus on the highest quality and stand behind our microblading eyebrows products. These tools were designed by QM because we felt that other products on the market were not properly customized or sterilized for the artist's needs.

Eyelash lifting
If I apply perming lotion after using glue balm, will it cause the eyelashes to fall off the silicone perm rod?

Our glue balm have two formulas, regular formula and anti-falling formula. If you are used to using plastic wrap or covering strips during lash lifting, you can choose one of them; if you don’t use them during lash lifting, we recommend that you choose the anti-falling formula to ensure that after you use the perming lotion, the liquid in the perming lotion will not dissolve the glue balm, thus achieving the anti-falling effect.

Tattoo balm
Is the repair product suitable for all skin types?

Yes, our repair products are good tattoo aftercare products, it is suitable for all skin types aftercare for tattoo. They are gentle and safe and can be used on sensitive skin.
