Microblading Course

Lesson 1 • The Microblading Industry Overview

Covers the history, scope, and professional landscape of microblading. Contextualises the craft within the broader permanent makeup and beauty industry.

Lesson 2 • Contraindications and Client Screening

Identifies medical, dermatological, and lifestyle contraindications that preclude safe treatment. Students learn to conduct thorough intake assessments before any procedure.

Lesson 3 • Facial Anatomy for Brow Artists

Introduces skin layers, facial muscles, and nerve pathways relevant to microblading. Anatomical knowledge directly informs safe blade depth and stroke placement.

Lesson 4 • Regulatory and Licensing Requirements

Examines health authority regulations, licensing frameworks, and scope-of-practice rules. Prepares students to operate legally and ethically in any jurisdiction.

Lesson 1 • Personal Protective Equipment

Details correct selection, donning, doffing, and disposal of gloves, masks, and barriers. Proper PPE use is the first line of defence for both artist and client.

Lesson 2 • Bloodborne Pathogen Awareness

Covers transmission routes, exposure risks, and universal precautions for bloodborne pathogens. Establishes the biological rationale behind all sanitation procedures.

Lesson 3 • Waste Management and Recordkeeping

Covers regulated waste classification, disposal containers, and documentation requirements. Accurate records protect the artist legally and support client safety tracking.

Lesson 4 • Workstation Setup and Breakdown

Establishes a standardised pre-procedure setup and post-procedure breakdown routine. Consistent workflow prevents cross-contamination between clients.

Lesson 1 • Topical Anaesthetics and Their Use

Reviews anaesthetic types, active ingredients, application timing, and contraindications. Safe anaesthetic use maximises client comfort without compromising skin integrity.

Lesson 2 • Equipment Maintenance and Storage

Covers proper storage conditions for pigments, blades, and anaesthetics to preserve efficacy. Maintenance routines extend equipment life and uphold safety standards.

Lesson 3 • Pigment Science and Formulation

Explains pigment composition, colour theory, and how skin undertones affect healed results. Students predict colour shifts and select pigments with scientific confidence.

Lesson 4 • Microblading Blades and Handles

Examines blade configurations, needle counts, and handle ergonomics. Blade choice directly determines stroke width, depth control, and hair-stroke realism.

Lesson 1 • Mapping Techniques and Tools

Demonstrates string mapping, ruler mapping, and digital overlay methods. Each technique is evaluated for accuracy, speed, and suitability for different client needs.

Lesson 2 • Facial Proportion and Golden Ratio

Introduces classical proportion theory and its application to brow placement. Understanding facial geometry enables designs that enhance individual features harmoniously.

Lesson 3 • Customising Design for Face Shape

Adapts brow shape, arch, and thickness to oval, round, square, heart, and long face shapes. Customisation ensures results that complement rather than conflict with facial structure.

Lesson 4 • Pre-Procedure Design Approval

Establishes a structured client approval process using mirrors, photos, and written sign-off. Documented approval protects the artist and ensures client confidence before treatment.

Lesson 1 • Advanced Stroke Configurations

Covers layered strokes, crosshatching, and nano-hair techniques for enhanced realism. Advanced configurations address sparse brows and complex texture requirements.

Lesson 2 • Hand Positioning and Pressure Control

Establishes correct wrist, finger, and arm positioning for consistent blade control. Proper posture prevents artist fatigue and ensures uniform stroke depth.

Lesson 3 • Practice Skin Drills and Assessment

Structures progressive drills on synthetic and latex practice skins before live application. Drill assessment criteria mirror real-session quality benchmarks.

Lesson 4 • Stroke Depth and Skin Penetration

Explains the target dermal depth for pigment retention and the visual cues indicating correct penetration. Depth errors cause scarring or pigment loss and must be mastered early.

Lesson 1 • Pre-Procedure Client Preparation

Covers consultation review, consent confirmation, skin cleansing, and anaesthetic application before the first stroke. Thorough preparation reduces complications and builds client confidence.

Lesson 2 • Post-Procedure Care and Instructions

Delivers standardised aftercare instructions covering cleaning, moisturising, and activity restrictions. Clear aftercare guidance is critical for optimal pigment retention and healing.

Lesson 3 • Pigment Application Workflow

Sequences the stroke-by-stroke pigment application process including pigment loading and wiping. A systematic workflow maintains stroke clarity and prevents pigment overload.

Lesson 4 • Managing Bleeding and Skin Reactions

Identifies normal vs. abnormal bleeding, redness, and swelling during the procedure. Prompt recognition and response prevent complications and protect pigment retention.

Lesson 1 • The Healing Cycle Explained

Details the week-by-week healing stages from initial scabbing to final pigment settlement. Understanding the cycle prevents premature client concern and informs touch-up timing.

Lesson 2 • Assessing the Healed Result

Provides a structured framework for evaluating pigment retention, stroke clarity, and symmetry at the touch-up appointment. Objective assessment guides targeted correction planning.

Lesson 3 • Factors Affecting Pigment Longevity

Identifies lifestyle, skin type, sun exposure, and product use factors that accelerate pigment fading. Educating clients on these factors extends result longevity and satisfaction.

Lesson 4 • Touch-Up Procedure Techniques

Covers the technical adjustments made at the six-to-eight-week touch-up to refine shape, density, and colour. Touch-up skills distinguish competent artists from exceptional ones.

Lesson 1 • Shape Correction Techniques

Addresses misaligned arches, uneven tails, and asymmetrical brow shapes from prior work. Shape correction requires strategic stroke placement and sometimes camouflage pigment.

Lesson 2 • Managing Complications and Adverse Events

Prepares students to recognise, document, and respond to infections, granulomas, and allergic reactions post-procedure. Prompt professional response protects client health and artist liability.

Lesson 3 • Colour Correction Strategies

Applies colour theory to neutralise unwanted hues such as blue, red, and orange undertones in faded brows. Correct neutralisation restores natural-looking pigment tones.

Lesson 4 • Assessing Previous Microblading Work

Develops a diagnostic framework for evaluating existing brow tattoos before correction. Accurate assessment prevents compounding errors and sets realistic correction timelines.
