Complete guide: Spektra Xion S Black
Spektra Xion S Black is a rotary machine for micropigmentation (PMU), marketed under the brand Fk Irons and developed by Microbeau, a manufacturer specialized in permanent makeup equipment. It is designed for professional artists who perform procedures such as microblading, powder brows, lip blush, eyeliner or areola restoration. The 'Black' variant has a discreet (stealth) design, a seamless aeronautical aluminum housing and a weight of only 134 g, for optimal maneuverability during long sessions. It is equipped with the 6W MotorBolt motor, presented as the first motor specifically designed for micropigmentation.
How to use
- Prepare the equipment: disinfect/sterilize the machine housing (it is autoclavable) and apply disposable protective barriers on the cable and grip areas, according to your studio's protocol.
- Choose the appropriate stroke roller for the procedure — the machine comes standard with 1.8 mm and 2.5 mm rollers — and mount it on the machine head.
- Insert the cartridge needle (compatible with all types of cartridge needles) into the telescopic grip of the head, securing it firmly.
- Adjust the needle depth using the secure ratcheting system, which allows adjustment in 0.3 mm increments per click, until the desired depth for that procedure.
- Adjust the needle tension using the single-rotation Give-Dial, from a 'softer' to a 'harder' setting, depending on the skin type and technique used.
- Connect the machine to the power source via the RCA cable and start at a low value, gradually increasing to the optimal parameter.
- First test the settings on a small area before working on the entire procedure, to confirm the chosen depth and tension.
- At the end, remove and dispose of the cartridge needle in the sharps container, then clean and sterilize the machine housing again before the next use.
Tips from us
- For fine procedures (microblading, eyeliner) the 1.8 mm stroke offers more precise control; for larger areas (powder brows, lip blush) the 2.5 mm stroke can be more efficient.
- Note down the depth and tension combinations that work well on various skin types, so you can quickly reproduce them.
- Check the grip of the stroke roller and cartridge needle before each session — an unstable mount affects the uniformity of pigment implantation.
- For longer stroke techniques, such as scalp micropigmentation, the 3.2 mm and 3.7 mm rollers are purchased separately.
- Even though the machine is lightweight (134 g) and ergonomic, take breaks for your hand and wrist during long sessions.
- Store the machine, stroke rollers, and RCA cable in a clean, dust-free place between uses.
Warning: This is a professional device that comes into contact with the skin — use it only if you have training in micropigmentation/tattoo techniques and follow the hygiene protocols of the field. Use exclusively sterile, disposable cartridge needles and dispose of them immediately after the procedure in sharps containers — never reuse them. Apply disposable protective barriers on the cable and grip areas for each client, and sterilize/autoclave the housing between uses according to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not share the machine between clients without complete disinfection beforehand.
Frequently asked questions
What strokes are included with the Spektra Xion S?▾
It comes standard with two interchangeable stroke rollers, 1.8 mm and 2.5 mm, which cover most micropigmentation procedures. The 3.2 mm and 3.7 mm rollers, for longer stroke techniques (such as scalp micropigmentation), are purchased separately.
What needles is the machine compatible with?▾
The machine head has a telescopic grip and is compatible with all types of micropigmentation cartridge needles — you are not limited to a specific needle manufacturer.
How much does the Spektra Xion S weigh and why does the weight matter?▾
It weighs only 134 g, thanks to the aeronautical aluminum housing. The reduced weight helps with maneuverability and reduces hand fatigue during long PMU sessions.
How do you clean and maintain the machine between clients?▾
The housing is autoclavable, so it can be fully sterilized between uses. Additionally, use disposable protective barriers on the cable and grip areas, and the cartridge needles are single-use and disposed of immediately after the procedure in the sharps container.
How do I adjust the needle depth on the Xion S?▾
Through the secure ratcheting system, which allows adjustment in 0.3 mm increments per click. The setting remains locked during work, without the risk of accidental change during the procedure.
For which PMU procedures is the Xion S recommended?▾
It is recommended for standard permanent makeup procedures — microblading, powder brows, lip blush, eyeliner, areola restoration — and with the longer stroke rollers (available separately) it is also suitable for scalp micropigmentation. The Give-Dial allows adjusting the needle tension to adapt the machine's behavior to the skin type and chosen technique.
