Superfix Glue Patch Testing
If your insurance provider tells you to patch test then you 100% need to carry out a patch test.
Our glue (as with all glues) includes an ingredient called cyanoacrylate which is the reason for most reactions. You will see on our bottle that “It is an irritant for your skin, eyeballs and respiratory functions”
which means lash glue should never touch the skin.
If your insurance providers tells you to follow your brand guidelines then these are Dalby UK guidelines below:
1. If a client has concerns about the glue it would be wise to offer a patch test. It is not essential that you need to patch test lash glue on clients.
2. It is vital that prior to the lash appointment, you outline the risks and information involved with the glue to the client. This could be sent out to them in an information pack.
4. As with all appointments… a consultation form and patch test sheet needs to be filled in from the client with a signature from you both so that you can keep this on record. The patch test sheet will again outline the risks so that the client can make an informed decision.
Space Lift Patch Testing
Patch testing is a must for our lifting products. Patch tests must be performed 24-48 hours before treatment. Ask your client to inform you immediately if they have any slight reaction to the patch test.
What will a positive reaction look like?
Any swelling, soreness, irratation will indicate that your client has had a positive patch test and you will not be able to perform the treatment.
If your client does have a severe reaction to the patch test, advice that they go get medical attention.
Client patch test information must be updated every 6 months so please keep a record of this.
How to patch test:
You can patch test your client on the inside of your clients elbow. Clean the skin and then apply Step 1, 2 and 3 and also the Superbonder.
Ask your client to make sure not to wash this area for 48 hours.
