Phi Patch Test
A revolutionary new product that will change your approach to any cosmetic procedure! Phi Patch Test is a way to identify if 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 do a patch test before undergoing any procedure, in order to avoid complications.
Make sure your work complies with the highest safety standards and take the best possible care of your customers!
It can be used to test the reaction to pigments, cosmetics, aftercare products, markers or any other product solution you are using. The results will appear after one hour and you will know if the customer 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 on the crook of your elbow or the back of your upper arm (forearm). Apply a small amount of the products you want to test into the separate patch holes, noting the order. (Example: hole 1 - pigment, hole 2 - marker, hole 3 - PhiBrows Block Tonic, hole 4 - anesthetic, hole 5- Skin Candy After Care Balm and hole 6 - another product.) When the cleansed skin area is dry, apply the patch.
-
Send the client home with instructions to return within 48 hours. The client should not remove the patch during this time and should observe the skin area around the patch. The client should also be careful not to get the patch wet when showering or participating in activities that cause profuse sweating. The client should also not expose the patch to the sun. Instruct the client to remove the patch immediately if he or she experiences an unbearable burning or itching sensation. If this occurs, the client should wash the treated area immediately and consult a physician.
-
When the client arrives 48 hours later for the appointment, examine the skin for the patch test results.
ANALYZE PATCH TEST RESULTS
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 it is unlikely that your client is 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 (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 serious reaction occurs after the patch test, advise your client to consult a doctor as soon as possible.
