Microblading 101 – Health & Safety

Heath and Safety must be at the top of the microblade technician’s priorities. Microblading is an invasive procedure and the artist is puncturing the client’s skin. If the microblading tools or work area is not properly cleaned and sanitized, there is risk of transmitting diseases and infections. Microblading can lead to infections with blood-borne pathogens including Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), human retroviruses, bacteria and pathogens (Anton, Chris, McClellan, Debbie, Lousisi, Barbara, 2018).

Public Health routine inspections are required for all microblade artists at least once a year. It is important to contact Public Health prior to beginning servicing clients to make sure the work station and tools are up to their standard. To contact your Public Health branch call 647- 260-7100. Proper training, knowledge and constantly practicing health and safety are important for the client and artist’s wellbeing
