A patch test is a procedure to ensure that you are safe and have no allergic reaction to the product being used on you for the treatment.
Procedure
The procedure of getting patch test is fairly simple, a small amount of the product that is specific to the treatment is applied on your skin, mostly behind the ears. This should be done in less than a minute.
Time
Once the test is done, you will have to wait for at least 48 hrs before the treatment to ensure your skin is not allergic to the test. If you were allergic then please let us know about your status.
Understanding the different patch tests
When it comes to patch tests it’s never a case of “one size fits for all”. Since the products for every treatment vary,, you must ensure you have received a test specific to your treatment. You will need different patch test for different treatment(s) unless you were told otherwise (only in some cases Where the same product is used for different treatments)
When should you request a patch test?
You must request for a patch test
- If you are a new client to us or
- If you haven’t had the specific treatment for last 6 months (180 days) or

What if I am having allergic reaction after the treatment but not during the patch test.
This is one of the rarest chance to have an allergic reaction after the treatment while not having reacted to the initial patch test. While most of the allergies are mild but if you feel your condition is getting worse then,
- Contact your GP or NHS immediately and
- Contact us on the phone during business hours. During out of hours, we are available 24×7 on social media and via contact forms on our website. We can share any relevant safety data sheets about the substance used on your skin.
