Patch Testing Policy

 

Having a patch test may seem like an unnecessary inconvenience , but the consequences of having an allergic reaction from products far outweighs the 5 minutes needed to do the test!

​

The following treatments offered at Dala Lounge require a Patch Test:

• Eyelash tint

• Eyebrow tint

• Lash Lift/Perming

• Microneedling

• Some resurfacer/chemical peel treatments​

​​

Patch Testing Requirements

Patch testing is a legal requirement under Section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act and is also a requirement of our insurance provider, InSync Insurers.

​

To ensure your safety:

• All clients must have a patch test before any first-time treatment.
  Patch testing must be completed at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

• Patch tests are required every 12 months, and also if there are any changes to our products or suppliers.

​

​A new patch test will be required if there is a change in medical circumstances, including:

• New or changed prescription medication

• Recent vaccinations

• Diagnosis of any chronic, life-limiting, or life-threatening condition 

 

It is the client’s responsibility to inform us of any changes to their medical history before attending their appointment. Failure to do so may result in treatment being postponed or declined for safety reasons.

​

 What to look out for following the test

Some typical adverse reactions to be aware of may include redness, itchiness or dry skin. Less commonly, swelling, anaphylaxis, blistering or breathing issues may be seen.  

​

If any of these symptoms do occur, please contact your GP as soon as possible to investigate the reaction/allergy further.   Please also contact Dala Lounge to advise us of any adverse reactions.
