Patch Testing

Patch testing is the process of applying a small amount of a skincare product or treatment on a client’s skin, usually behind the ear or on the inner arm, to check for any allergic reactions before full application. This practice is crucial for avoiding adverse reactions during treatments, especially with new or strong active ingredients. By performing a patch test, skincare professionals can ensure the safety and comfort of clients, reducing the risk of irritation, redness, or allergic reactions.
