Microblading #18 U-Flex Blades 0.18mm 20-pack

Microblading U-Flex Blade #18 – 0.18mm for precise hair stroke technique

The U-Flex #18 blade is one of the most widely used blades for manual microblading and is suitable for stylists who prioritize control and a natural final result. The blade consists of 18 thin needles arranged in a tight U-shape with a needle diameter of 0.18mm – thinner than the standard 0.25mm blade – which provides a sharper cut and a more defined hair stroke profile in the skin.

Technical specifications

The U-formation of the needles creates a rounder and softer incision compared to flat or angled configurations. This makes the #18 U-Flex blade an excellent choice for clients with thinner skin or for stylists aiming for a subtle, hair-like effect. Furthermore, the reduced needle diameter of 0.18mm minimizes trauma to the skin and contributes to more even pigment implantation.

• Needle count: 18 needles
• Formation: U-shape (U-Flex)
• Needle diameter: 0.18mm
• Sterilization: EO-sterilized, individually packaged
• Packaging: 20 disposable blades
• Application: Manual microblading with a handheld pen

When should you use the #18 U-Flex?

This blade is particularly well-suited for the following situations:

• Clients with sensitive or thinner skin where a wider blade risks creating incisions that are too deep
• Styles with dense, natural hair strokes where soft transitions to the hair growth are essential
• Refinement work and detailed corrections during touch-ups
• Combination techniques where the U-Flex is used together with a volume blade for a multidimensional result

Safety and single-use

Each blade is EO-sterilized and individually packaged in a sterile blister pack. The blade is intended for single use – reuse increases the risk of cross-contamination and compromises sharpness, which directly affects the precision of the incision and the healing result. Always dispose of the blade immediately after treatment in accordance with local guidelines for sharps waste.

Compatibility

The U-Flex #18 blade is compatible with most standard microblading handheld pens on the market. Verify that your handheld pen has the correct blade holder before ordering. Store the blades in a dry and cool place, protected from direct sunlight, to maintain sterility until the expiration date.
