PhiAcademy - Patch Test
+ VAT
A new revolutionary product that will change your approach to any cosmetic procedure! Phi Patch Test is a way to identify whether a substance that comes into contact with the skin (a product used during the treatment) causes any type of inflammation or allergic reaction.
It is recommended that everyone perform a patch test before carrying out a procedure, in order to avoid complications.
Make sure your work complies with the highest safety standards and take the best possible care of your clients!
It can be used to test the reaction to pigments, cosmetic products, aftercare products, markers or any other product solution being used. Results will appear after one hour and you will know whether the client is allergic or intolerant to any product. The test comes with numbered stickers to easily mark and track each of the multiple products you are testing.
The package includes 10 disposable patch tests!
HOW TO USE
-
Clean a small area of skin in the crease of the elbow or on the back of the arm (forearm). Apply a small amount of the products you want to test into separate patch test wells, noting the order. (Example: well 1 - pigment, well 2 - marker, well 3 - PhiBrows Block Tonic, well 4 - anesthetic, well 5 - Skin Candy After Care Balm and well 6 - another product). When the clean skin area is dry, apply the patch.
-
Send the client home with instructions to return within 48 hours. In the meantime, the client must not remove the patch and must observe the skin area around the patch. The client should also take care not to get the patch wet when showering or taking part in activities that cause heavy sweating. The client must also not expose the patch to the sun. Ask the client to remove the patch immediately if they experience an unbearable burning or itching sensation. In this case, the client must immediately wash the treated area and consult a doctor.
-
When the client arrives 48 hours later for the appointment, examine the skin for the patch test results
ANALYZE THE PATCH TEST RESULTS
The results can be positive or negative. A positive skin test may mean that your client is sensitive to one of the products used. A negative skin test means that your client is unlikely to be sensitive to the products used.
RESULTS
No reaction (no redness, swelling, itching) Negative skin test. There is no sign of irritation or sensitivity after the patch test. Mild to moderate or severe reaction (redness, swelling, itching) Positive skin test.
If the skin test is negative (there is no reaction), you can proceed with the application of the tested cosmetic product. If the skin test is positive (redness, swelling or itching present), you should not continue using the product or cosmetic treatment. Advise your client to consult a doctor before proceeding with the treatment. If a severe reaction occurs after the patch test, advise your client to consult a doctor as soon as possible.
