A patch test is an essential safety step before certain treatments at Divine Beauty Norbiton, particularly laser hair removal, tinting, and some advanced skin treatments. The purpose of a patch test is to ensure your skin reacts safely to the products or technology being used.
During a patch test, a small area of skin is treated with the product or laser to check for any adverse reactions such as redness, irritation, or sensitivity. This allows our therapists to assess your skin’s response and adjust treatment settings if needed, ensuring maximum safety and comfort.
Patch tests are quick, simple, and usually required at least 24–48 hours before your main appointment. They are especially important for clients with sensitive skin, allergies, or those who are new to a particular treatment.
At Divine Beauty Norbiton, your safety is our priority. Our experienced therapists carefully assess your medical history, skin type, and treatment goals during your consultation. If a patch test is required, you will be fully informed and guided through the process.
Skipping a patch test may result in treatment refusal, as we strictly follow professional and insurance guidelines. This ensures the best possible outcome and protects both the client and therapist.
If you are unsure whether your chosen treatment requires a patch test, our friendly team is always happy to advise. Please contact us or book a patch test appointment online before scheduling your treatment.
