Patch Testing is a procedure for testing a customer's skin for any allergic reaction from a substance that is going to be used for the procedure that he or she desires to undergo. It involves placing a few drops or a small amount of the substance on the skin, leaving it for around 48 hours for observation for potential reaction or effects which may include rashes, infection, or any skin irritation.
A topical cream will be applied before and during your procedure to numb your eyebrow area and keep pain to a minimum during your appointment. This cream may cause some allergic reaction and thus, it is necessary that a patch test is to be made.
Patch Testing is one of the classic methods for checking with a client if he or she has any allergic reaction to any of the creams or skin applications that shall be used on him/her. This way, we can safely proceed with the procedure if no allergic reaction happens after 48 hours. Although a patch test is made, however, this is not a guarantee that the client will not have any further allergic reaction.
