policies and procedures for sterilisation-disinfection-bio waste disposal is essential
Client Expectation:

• Improved cellulite condition
Treatment Plan:
• Previous treatments and their outcomes
• Any medical conditions and history
• Lifestyle conditions
• Body type + any body, skeletal or postural conditions noted
• Expected outcomes of client
• Type of treatment to be performed
• Area to be treated
• Products used during treatment
• Any adverse reactions
• Outcomes of treatment home + post-treatment advice
• Agreed number and frequency of treatments
Check medical history
Contraindications / Precautions / that restrict treatment:
• Contagious and non-contagious skin diseases and disorders
• Fragile skin
• Cuts, bruises or trauma to skin
• Burns, including sunburn
• Conditions requiring medical attention, especially skin cancer
• Nausea
• Clients who are under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs
• Active phases of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis
, • Disorders of the nervous system such as – multiple sclerosis, strokes and Parkinson’s
disease.
• Thrombosis or phlebitis in the treatment area
• Low and high blood pressure
• Extremely nervous clients
• Clients with heart conditions
• Epileptics
• Diabetics
• Metal (pins, plates, dental bridges and excessive amount of fillings)
• Any loss of skin sensation
• Injury in the treatment area e.g. broken bones or muscle damage
• Migraine sufferers
• Hypersensitive skin
• Recent scar tissue
• Recent IPL (intense pulsed light) or laser treatments
• Recent dermabrasion or chemical peels
Lifestyle choices – diet, exercise
Body Analysis:
• Normally conducted at the beginning of body treatment
• It can be performed before an electrical body treatment, massage, spa treatment
• Similar to a skin analysis for a facial
• Allows: identify any problematic areas, concerns to develop a suitable treatment
plan for client
Body Mass Index (BMI):
• Formula used to determine if an adult person’s weight to height ratio is within
healthy range.
• Calculated by dividing the client’s weight in kg by their height in meters squared (m2)
> BMI = weight(kg) / height(m2)
,BODY TYPES: *
• Hereditary, determined by genes
• Although you cannot change your body type, you can change the shape of your body
by: exercise regularly, good posture, healthy diet.
• 3 main body types: (but most people are combination of diff. body types)
• Ectomorph
• Mesomorph
• Endomorph
Ectomorph
• Tend to have a delicate frame and bone structure
• Usually lean and angular; (mostly tall)
• Fast metabolism, find it hard to gain weight
Mesomorph
, • Usually strong with an even distribution of weight
• Can easily tone and build muscle
• (mostly average height)
Endomorph
• Well-rounded, tending towards a heavier build
• Usually shorter than other 2 types
• Often have a slower metabolism, easier to gain weight
(Importance of) Posture:
• Good posture not only makes difference to appearance and self-confidence, but
is also important for overall health
• Keeps the spine and bones aligned properly
• Is sign of good muscle tone
• Helps you breathe more efficiently
Take into Consideration when Conducting a Body Analysis:
• Identifying client’s body type (endo, ecto, meso…)
• Body measurements
• (own) Posture
• Identifying skeletal + postural faults + figure problems
• Calculating client’s BMI
Skeletal Faults:
(conditions can be assessed from an anterior(front) and lateral(side) view)
• Forward head tilt
• Round shoulder
• Scoliosis
• Hyper-kyphosis (‘dowager’s hump’)
• Kyphosis
• Lordosis
• Anterior pelvic tilt
• Hyperextended knees
• Tibial torsion
