What Is a Patch Test?

A patch test is a simple safety procedure carried out before certain beauty and cosmetic treatments to check whether

a client may have an allergic reaction or sensitivity to products used during treatment. Small amounts of the products

are applied to a discreet area of skin, usually behind the ear or inside the arm, and monitored over 24–48 hours.

What Happens During a Patch Test?

• A small amount of product is applied to the skin.

• The area is left undisturbed for 24–48 hours.

• Clients should avoid rubbing, washing, or applying products over the test area.

• The skin is monitored for redness, itching, swelling, blistering, or irritation.

Patch testing helps keep your treatment safe, comfortable, and beautiful… because let’s

be honest — we’re here to enhance your beauty, not ruin it.
