PATCH TEST

Trying new treatments can be both exciting and intimidating, patch testing is used to predict the likely outcome of future treatment sessions. 

In this case we mean light based hair removal + pigmentation treatments.

During a consultation a preliminary patch test is performed to determine if the desired treatment is suitable for the individual.

On an inconspicuous area, such as underarms, a mini application is performed and observed. In some instances clients are instructed to evaluate response up to 48hrs post session.

Secondary patch tests are used to evaluate efficacy in settings to achieve desired outcome with minimal sessions. This gives the opportunity to determine if adjusting the settings would benefit the treatment.

Patch tests are a useful tool to clarify any curiosities for both client and service provider.
