Contra-actions for facials

[corrie]

Hi I'm a BTEC student woundering if anyone could tell me what to do if a contra action happens after a facial?

This is a very basic question which would be in your student notes. If not, perhaps ask your tutor to advise.

It would help if you could first define 'contra action' correctly, because they don't 'happen after facials'. Do you mean 'contra indication'?

As already suggested, your course notes and text books or your tutor should help you here. Google is very helpful also, but as a rule we prefer not to answer college assignment questions as we get loads of request for this on salon geek because many people hope for a quick and easy solution to getting their homework done. I'm not saying this is the case with you, however, just putting you in the picture.

A contra-indication is a reason NOT to carry out treatment .However :

CONTRA-ACTIONS TO A FACIAL IS A REACTION TO TREATMENT SIGNS TO LOOK FOR ARE;
WATERY EYES
SKIN REACTION
EXCESSIVE PERSPIRATION
EXCESSIVE ERYTHEMATIC#


As already said google is a very useful tool along with your text book chick . The above are a few signs for a contra-action but how u will deal with this will def be in the level 2 text book , Good luck with your course tho ,

ps There seems to be a few confusing answers on here - Just to clarify, a contra-action is an adverse reaction following a treatment (such as skin rash, erythema, swelling, itching etc).

A contra-indication is a condition present before you do a treatment that would prevent the treatment from going ahead. This is what you find out during the consultation - for example if they had a coldsore or were allergic to the facial products.

A good consultation is important to ensure that no contra-actions occur.

I will research this further. Can't right now as I have to go out, but I have just checked my CIBTAC notes and it says the following: Recognize the contraindications in order to limit the treatment, or adapt in some way (called a contra-action).

Once I find out more, I'll come back to this thread. Gotta fly!

A contra-action is something that occurs because of the treatment. It can either be a perfectly normal response such as erythema, which is a classic contra-action, or something more serious like an allergic reaction.

I would agree with all of this.

To the original poster I advise you to research your answers from your course notes and text books. We have all done different courses and the answers will vary slightly and half the time seem to be a world away from the answers the colleges actually want due to most of the theory having not been updated since the 1980's !!! :lol:

As for the question, what do you THINK you should do ? Maybe we can then help you in the right direction rather than just give you the answer......

Hi Beauty Geeks, I am back as promised and eating Humble Pie :o. I spoke to my college about definition of a 'contra-action' and confess to have been given the wrong information by the college . Erm.....I paid £4000 to be given the wrong information :irked:.

I appologize but add that this is one of the wonderful things about Salon Geek. We are here to share and learn. Had I not read this thread, I would still be non the wiser.

Please disregard my definition above and I now know that a 'contra-action' is an unwanted or negative reaction to a treament. Thanks.
