There are certain conditions which make a facial painful, risky or even dangerous.

On your first visit to me, a short consultation will be completed. This will check for any contraindications to a facial and any of the essential oils (if used). Then we can select the best form of treatment for your particular needs.

There are reasons for carrying out a contraindication consultation:

  1. It enables us to determine any health problems or indications of why a treatment should not be given.
  2. It helps build up a reflection of your physical health, which is vital to me to ensure accurate diagnosis which in turn leads to the correct treatment.
  3. The whole procedure helps to protect the best interests of both client and therapist.

Below is a list of conditions which will determine what sort of facial you can have, if any at all.
This is even more important when essential oils are used in the facial, as they have their own 'set of rules' as to what can be used and when.

Please don't be put off by the list below. It is only there as a guide to allow you to determine if it's worth making an appointment with me.
It will save you visiting me only to be told that you can't have a facial or that you can only have a certain type of facial.

Please feel free to contact me if you are uncertain about a condition you may have.
