Client Preparation

Following the consultation and full explanation of the treatment procedure, the client should be instructed with the following guidelines before treatment commences:

  1. The client will need to remove any piercings obstructing the treatment site area.
  2. Their hair will need to be covered with a disposable head cap/net.
  3. The client should be positioned at the head of the treatment couch ensuring you have good access to the procedure area. 

You’re Positioning for the treatment

It’s best to work on the opposite side of your dominant hand during the procedure.
