POTENTIAL RISKS FROM TREATMENTS

​

As part of my commitment to transparency and your well-being, it's important to be aware of potential contra-actions or risks that may occur following facial treatments. While these are uncommon, everyone's skin responds differently. Please take note of the following:

​

• Temporary Redness: Mild redness is a common reaction to treatments and usually subsides within a few hours.

• Skin Sensitivity: Your skin may become temporarily more sensitive, especially if acid peels are involved.

• Dryness or Peeling: Some treatments may cause temporary dryness or peeling, particularly with exfoliation.

• Bruising: Facial massage or cupping may rarely cause minor bruising, especially for individuals with sensitive skin.

• Allergic Reactions: Although we use gentle products, there is always a minimal risk of an allergic reaction. Please inform us of any known allergies.

• Acne Flare-ups: In some cases, facials may trigger a temporary acne flare-up as the skin purges impurities.

• Swelling: Buccal massage or other treatments may result in slight swelling, particularly if you are prone to fluid retention.

• Discomfort or Tenderness: Some discomfort or tenderness may be experienced after certain treatments, such as microcurrent.

• Photosensitivity: LED light therapy may increase sensitivity to sunlight; hence, sun protection is crucial.

• Pregnancy Contradictions: Certain treatments, like buccal massage or LED therapy, may have contraindications during pregnancy.

• Adverse Reactions to Products: Rarely, an adverse reaction to a specific product used during the facial may occur. If any persistent erythema, redness, swelling or irritation occurs, clients should inform me immediately.

• Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation: Individuals with a predisposition to pigmentation issues may be at a slight risk.

• Scarring, discolouration or lightening of the sin and hair loss in the areas of treatment.

• Reddening, mild tingling, bruising, blistering or swelling and/or a "sunburn" type of feeling.

• Rare Skin Conditions: Individuals with rare skin conditions may experience unpredictable reactions.

• Eye Irritation: Take precautions during treatments involving the eye area to prevent irritation.
