Contact Dermatitis
Contact Dermatitis
Advanced skin care may include ablative procedures such as chemical peels, ablative skin resurfacing and other Laser based technology. A common, often avoidable complication is contact or irritant dermatitis.
First Impressions
Take a moment every day to survey your entrance, your reception, your exam or treatment rooms and even your private spaces where patients would not enter.
Look closely. Do you see any debris? Disorganized materials? Empty holders for patient education brochures? Any dust or cobwebs? Do countertop signs obscure your staff or other messages or products?
Sit down in your reception seats. Take a look around. Be critical.
I visited a medical spa recently who offered laser based technology aesthetic procedures such as laser hair removal and skin tightening. I noticed things I liked - good lighting, lots of product in a retail area but organized well. Lots of messaging. Good use of texture (tile, wood). Very friendly receptionist. The impression was one of a busy, thriving practice with a nice variety of procedures and product.
What I felt needed correction (and I mentioned to the nurse) was: counter signage was obscuring the receptionist so she could not see us when we sat down. There was a cobweb hanging from a can light in ceiling. The TV over the doorway was primarily showing testimonial videos but the sound was off. It would be better to either have small wireless speakers by the seating (so the message was heard) or switch the video to photo loops which do not require sound.
These are all easy fixes.
If you prefer - have a friend visit your practice and task them to notice anything that seems off. Better you see it and fix it than for a less-than-ideal first impression be made by a new patient. It's nice to know that some things - we can control.

Increased terminal hair growth has been seen with near infrared and infrared technology.
It is important to be aware of this possibility when providing Laser Hair removal services.

Photosensitivity related to Laser & Light Based Skin Procedures
Laser based technology in advanced skin care may cause photosensitivity reactions.In a small number of people photosensitivity reactions have been reported after Laser Genesis treatments. If this should occur, please have the patient refrain from using their skin products 24 hours before and after the Laser Genesis treatment.
Alpha hydroxy acids also cause increased sensitivity to the sun.
