What action should be taken when the client shows signs of skin irritation?

When a client displays signs of skin irritation during a laser hair removal session, it is essential to stop and check the client's skin. This assessment allows the practitioner to evaluate the severity of the irritation, which can include redness, swelling, or discomfort. By pausing the treatment, the practitioner can ensure that the skin's condition is safe for further procedures. Additionally, this action demonstrates care and professionalism, as it prioritizes the client’s health and safety.

Checking the skin allows for appropriate measures to be taken, such as adjusting future treatment plans, providing soothing remedies, or even postponing treatments until the skin has healed. This proactive approach not only helps in maintaining the integrity of the client's skin but also builds trust between the practitioner and the client.
