I would be happy to treat anyone as long as they were able to function properly mentally as well as physically and like all medical professionals take extra care when dealing with them.
Do not judge a person until you know all the circumstances surrounding them. (Book by its cover and all that.)
As my post said as long as they were of sound mind and not (out of it) as people have stated I would yes treat the person as long as my insurance was ok with it, that is a no brainier!
There are many people who have treatments and do not disclose minor details to beauty professionals on a day to day basis, would you not treat them?
Also some medical conditions do have similar symptoms like being out of it similar to drink and drug users may be.[/QUOTE]
I personally work exercising ultimate precaution, if a medical condition is disclosed I act accordingly, also if someone doesn't but behaves erratically I would likely not treat.
There have been several occasions that I can think of and I treat clients on an individual basis and take into account the treatment requested, known effects of conditions or medications.
Here is a short list below of some individual cases:
Case 1:
Epileptic also suffering Alopecia Areata treated with dental/aesthetic nurse present. Medical tattoo procedure brows.
Case 2:
Elderly client with Parkinson's disease treated with dental/aesthetic nurse present. Cosmetic tattoo procedure brows.
Case 3:
Refused treatment, client not disclosed steroid medication, had to stop due to excessive bleeding during treatment and when questioned client admitted meds.
Case 4:
Refused treatment, client appeared confused during initial consultation.
Case 5:
Postponed treatment,client admitted to excessive alcohol consumption within 24 hrs of Dermaroller treatment
Case 6:
Medical referral chemotherapy patient successfully treated for medical tattoo procedure brows
Case 7:
Refused treatment for chemical peels due to regular sunbed usage
Case 8:
Requested medical referral for client on prescribed medication, including benzodiazepam.
Case 9: requested medical referral for treatment brows client disclosed bi polar disorder at consultation, medical referral required for prescribed medication and possible effects of treatment.
I have requested medical referral on many occasions when in doubt and on occasion it is refused, I also check with my insurance provider always regarding validity of cover for certain conditions. I worked from a medical clinic in the UK alongside other professionals including surgeons. All staff within the clinic were fully emergency first aid trained including reception, all treatment providers trained in anaphylaxis and emergency drug administration. Still if in doubt I would not treat.
I do not pass judgement on anyone's life choices and have treated several individuals who would perhaps on paper be at high risk nor do I pass judgement on any medical condition but absolutely consider if they would be safe and suitable for said treatment. If someone disclosed that they were a drug user and in addition were behaving out of it, then no I would not treat on an individual basis and for the treatment of microdermabrasion, using heroin will impact upon immune system, healing and it has an undesirable effect on the skin often it will behave adversely and will be more sensitive, not a discrimination but a scientific fact.
This is how I personally work.
