What is the correct procedure if you break the skin and bleed during a service?

In the event of a break in the skin that results in bleeding during a service, the appropriate response is to stop the service, apply pressure to the affected area, and clean the area. This procedure is crucial for several reasons.

First, stopping the service ensures that the bleeding is managed properly without further aggravating the injury or causing additional distress to the client. Applying pressure helps control the bleeding, which is essential for the safety and well-being of the client. Cleaning the area is important not only to reduce the risk of infection but also to promote proper healing. Maintaining a hygienic environment is a fundamental practice in skin care and aesthetics.

By following this procedure, you demonstrate professionalism and a commitment to safety. It is vital to prioritize the client's health and comfort in such situations. This approach also helps in documenting the incident accurately, should there be any follow-up required, and reinforces trust between the practitioner and the client.
