PATCH TESTING
P A T C H T E S T I N G Q & As
Q: How do you patch test for treatment that require it such as HD, Tint, Lash Lifts, Henna and Tattoo pigments?
A: The patch test procedure for lifting products is to apply a small amount of any products that will be used during your treatment on the inside of your forearm.
The micropore tape can be removed after 20 minutes at which point the skin will not have any product residue on it apart from some staining from tint. For lifting products, HD and tint I advise you not to wash the area or apply any other products to that area for 24 hours and keep a close eye on the area for 48 hours. For Henna it is slightly different and Henna residue should be washed off after 20 minutes with warm water and wiped with cotton wool as Henna is quite grainy, you would still monitor the area for 48 hours afterwards.
Q: How long in advance of the treatment must I have a patch test?
A: The minimum time to have a patch test with me ahead of your treatment is 48 hours.
Q: Will I need a patch test if I have never visited your clinic before?
A: Yes
Q: How often should I be patch tested thereafter?
A: You will have a patch test before you have any treatment for the first time ever or the first time at this clinic, again if you have not had a treatment with me using these products in the past 6 months or sooner if either your medication has changed or if anything has changed with your health. Henna is the exception which you are required to have a patch test for 48 hours prior to every treatment.
Q: How long should I wait for a patch test after any vaccines?
A: You should wait 2 weeks after you have received your vaccine before getting patch tested. This is because vaccines trigger an immune response in order to work so to allow it time it’s recommended waiting 2 weeks afterwards before getting your patch test or any of these treatments.
Q: Why do you not patch test behind a clients ear?
A: The rational behind this is
1) A client may not notice if they had a very minor reaction
2) If my client had an extremely severe reaction to the patch test behind the ear is very close to their throat, airway and brain therefore it would be a dangerous place for swelling to occur.
Q: I have been getting the same products/treatment with another salon, do I still need to patch test?
A: Yes. Every new client to me will require a patch test by me.
Q: Does a patch test guarantee a reaction will not occur in the future?
A: No, a patch test is done to mitigate the risk of a reaction, as a professional I have a duty of care to keep my clients safe and a patch test is the best way to show due diligence. A person can develop an allergy at any time which is why regular patch testing is so important.
Q: What if I sign a disclaimer to waive my right to a patch test, can you do it without a patch test?
A: No. Clients waiving the right to a patch test does not in anyway take accountability away from me as the professional.
Q: What am I looking out for after my patch test?
A: If there are any changes at all to your skin whether it be a small red mark, dryness, anything at all where it looks different to how it did at the time I done your patch test I want to know about it.
Q: What should I do if I think I'm having a reaction to a patch test?
A: Let me know straight away, depending on the severity of the reaction I may refer you to your local pharmacy, GP or hospital for medical advice.
Q: How often do reactions happen?
A: Overall they are quite rare, but they do happen and every client I have had who has had a reaction to their patch test has been so grateful that I took the time to do one and save them from a potentially dangerous situation.
