Contra-indications 
NVQ Level 2 Beauty 
Therapy 
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
What is a contra-indication? 
A contra-indication is something that 
prevents or restricts the way in which the 
treatment is performed. 
It is important that you can recognise a 
contra-indication so to prevent any further 
harm to the client or yourself, and to 
prevent cross-infection and secondary 
infection. 
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Contra-indications requiring medical 
referral 
 Severe skin conditions – i.e. acne vulgaris, boils, 
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis 
 Eye infections – i.e. herpes eye infection 
If the client has any of the above, you must 
recommend that the client seeks medical advice 
and treatment before proceeding with the 
treatment. It is important that you do not just 
send the client home, as they need to receive 
treatment from their doctor in order to prevent 
the condition from worsening and to alleviate the 
condition.
Contra-indications that prevent 
treatment 
 Bacterial infection- i.e. impetigo 
 Conjunctivitis 
 Inflamed skin 
 Eye diseases and disorders – i.e. conjunctivitis, 
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
blepharitis, stye, cysts 
 Bruising 
 Allergy to adhesive/products 
If the client has any of the above conditions you 
can not proceed with treatment until the condition 
has disappeared.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Task 
Why do you think it is important that we 
check if the client has had any allergies to 
tint or products in the past? 
This is to ensure that we do not use any 
products that may cause an allergic reaction. 
The eyes are vital to any person; an allergic 
reaction would be very uncomfortable and 
may affect the vision short term.
Procedure to follow if you suspect that the 
client has a contra-indication 
It is important that you do not diagnose any of these 
conditions as it is unprofessional and may worry or upset 
the client unnecessarily. If you suspect that the client has 
a contra-indication, you should: 
1. Inform the client that there is a possibility of a contra-indication 
and explain that you cannot carry out the 
treatment as it may cause harm to the client. 
2. If the client wishes for the treatment to be carried out 
they must bring a doctors note or wait until the condition 
has disappeared. 
3. Reassure the client and offer an alternative treatment that 
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
is not contra-indicated if possible. 
4. Make a note on the record card.
Contra-indications requiring 
medical referral 
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Acne vulgaris 
This condition is linked to the 
hormones of the body and is 
most common in teenage years. 
It is recognised by: 
 inflamed skin 
 papules and pustules 
 comedones 
 open pores 
 seborrhoea (greasy shine) 
Acne vulgaris is due to the 
influence of the androgen 
hormone at puberty and can 
only be treated once medical 
approval has been obtained.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Boil 
A red, raised, painful 
lump will appear 
around a hair follicle 
and then pus will 
develop. It will 
extend deeply into the 
skin and so therefore 
may cause scarring 
once the boil has 
healed.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Dermatitis 
A localised inflammatory skin disorder 
in which the skin becomes red, swollen 
and itchy with the possibility of 
blisters and pus. The cause of 
dermatitis is irritation of the skin due 
to the action of a substance- nickel, 
plants and perfumes are common 
irritants. If this was present in the 
eye area you would not be able to treat 
the client. If they are not already 
receiving treatment recommend that 
they seek GP advice.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Eczema 
Reddening of the skin with 
swelling, dryness, itching, 
cracks and blisters. Quite 
often the skin leaks a 
fluid and this then forms 
scabs. The cause may be 
an internal or external 
irritant or may be genetic.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Psoriasis 
Red patches of skin appear 
covered by scale like waxy 
cells. If the area is 
scratched then bleeding will 
occur, removing the scales 
and then secondary 
infection may occur. No real 
cause is known, although it 
is thought to be hereditary 
or stress related.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Herpes eye infection 
Symptoms can include some or all of the 
following on the side of the affected eye: 
head and facial pain, a rash, ulcers, swollen 
eyelids, a red & painful eye, crusting of 
the eyelids and visual disturbances. 
The same viruses are normally responsible 
for a wide range of conditions, including 
chickenpox, cold sores and shingles. 
Medical advice must be sought and the 
client may be recommended to an eye 
doctor. As this condition lasts 2-3 weeks, 
the eye usually responds very well to 
treatment. Eye drops and creams, and, 
very occasionally, tablets may be given to 
help the eye to heal.
Contra-indications that prevent 
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
treatment
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Impetigo 
A highly contagious 
inflammatory infection 
which: 
 initially appears as red, 
itchy patches/spots 
 the skin then breaks and 
small blisters appear 
 honey coloured crusts then 
develop which will leak 
serum and spread daily
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Conjunctivitis 
This is caused by inflammation 
of the mucous membrane that 
covers the eye and lid. This 
causes the eye to become red, 
sore and bloodshot. A pussy 
discharge is often produced 
which causes the eyelids to 
stick together. It often feels 
gritty to the person and is 
contagious. Quite often it is 
due to a bacterial infection 
occurring, alternatively it could 
be due to a viral infection.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Inflammation 
This is a raised area of the skin that is quite 
often accompanied by a form of skin 
irritation. It is important that you do not 
treat as it could worsen the condition and 
cause the client discomfort.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Fungal infection 
A fungal infection of the body is 
called tinea corporis, which is 
more commonly known as 
ringworm. A highly infectious 
condition, it can easily spread and 
is recognised by: 
 firstly small red pimples appear 
 a flat scaly ring-like lesion forms 
 this heals from the centre 
outwards
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Blepharitis 
The eyelid rims are red and irritated, they 
burn and itch and they may have an oily 
discharge or scaly skin around them. This 
is sometimes referred to as psoriasis of 
the eyelids. While over-the-counter 
treatments are available, it is advisable to 
seek professional help the first time you 
experience the condition. 
The pharmacist or eye care practitioner may be able to supply the 
client with medicated pads specifically designed for this or ointments 
containing antibiotics. It is important that treatment is received as 
soon as possible to reduce the risk of having the infection spread and 
cause more serious conditions.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Skin allergies 
The symptoms of an allergy would be 
redness, swelling or itching and in severe 
cases blisters may develop. A person can 
develop an allergy at any time.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Iritis 
This is an inflammatory condition 
affecting the iris, (the coloured 
part of your eye). It can be 
associated with other inflammatory 
conditions of the body, for example 
arthritis, but in most cases the 
cause remains unknown. It would be 
recognised by aching, painful red 
eye, small pupil, blurred vision and 
sensitivity to light. 
It is important that this condition is 
treated by an eye doctor.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Dry eyes 
The glands that keep the surface of the 
eye wet, under secrete resulting in dry 
eye. The symptoms are: 
 gritty, scratchy or foreign body sensation 
 itching 
 burning 
 discomfort or pain 
 often the eye is completely normal to look 
at 
There are many causes, for example age related changes, dry, dusty 
working conditions and central heating. The client must see their GP for 
treatment which consists of artificial tear drops for use during the day 
and possibly some ointment to use last thing at night.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Stye 
This condition affects the 
eyelid and is recognised as 
a red, inflamed lump on 
the eyelid, which can cause 
discomfort. It is caused 
by a bacterial infection of 
the sebaceous gland or 
eyelash hair follicle and 
pus may be present. If 
the client has a stye you 
can not apply artificial 
eyelashes.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris 
Watery eyes 
Over activity or a blockage of the tear duct 
causes the eye to water frequently. This can 
be uncomfortable for the client and prevents 
the artificial lash treatment from being 
carried out.

Contra indications

  • 1. Contra-indications NVQ Level 2 Beauty Therapy Clare Hargreaves-Norris
  • 2. What is a contra-indication? A contra-indication is something that prevents or restricts the way in which the treatment is performed. It is important that you can recognise a contra-indication so to prevent any further harm to the client or yourself, and to prevent cross-infection and secondary infection. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
  • 3. Contra-indications requiring medical referral  Severe skin conditions – i.e. acne vulgaris, boils, Clare Hargreaves-Norris psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis  Eye infections – i.e. herpes eye infection If the client has any of the above, you must recommend that the client seeks medical advice and treatment before proceeding with the treatment. It is important that you do not just send the client home, as they need to receive treatment from their doctor in order to prevent the condition from worsening and to alleviate the condition.
  • 4. Contra-indications that prevent treatment  Bacterial infection- i.e. impetigo  Conjunctivitis  Inflamed skin  Eye diseases and disorders – i.e. conjunctivitis, Clare Hargreaves-Norris blepharitis, stye, cysts  Bruising  Allergy to adhesive/products If the client has any of the above conditions you can not proceed with treatment until the condition has disappeared.
  • 5. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Task Why do you think it is important that we check if the client has had any allergies to tint or products in the past? This is to ensure that we do not use any products that may cause an allergic reaction. The eyes are vital to any person; an allergic reaction would be very uncomfortable and may affect the vision short term.
  • 6. Procedure to follow if you suspect that the client has a contra-indication It is important that you do not diagnose any of these conditions as it is unprofessional and may worry or upset the client unnecessarily. If you suspect that the client has a contra-indication, you should: 1. Inform the client that there is a possibility of a contra-indication and explain that you cannot carry out the treatment as it may cause harm to the client. 2. If the client wishes for the treatment to be carried out they must bring a doctors note or wait until the condition has disappeared. 3. Reassure the client and offer an alternative treatment that Clare Hargreaves-Norris is not contra-indicated if possible. 4. Make a note on the record card.
  • 7. Contra-indications requiring medical referral Clare Hargreaves-Norris
  • 8. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Acne vulgaris This condition is linked to the hormones of the body and is most common in teenage years. It is recognised by:  inflamed skin  papules and pustules  comedones  open pores  seborrhoea (greasy shine) Acne vulgaris is due to the influence of the androgen hormone at puberty and can only be treated once medical approval has been obtained.
  • 9. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Boil A red, raised, painful lump will appear around a hair follicle and then pus will develop. It will extend deeply into the skin and so therefore may cause scarring once the boil has healed.
  • 10. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Dermatitis A localised inflammatory skin disorder in which the skin becomes red, swollen and itchy with the possibility of blisters and pus. The cause of dermatitis is irritation of the skin due to the action of a substance- nickel, plants and perfumes are common irritants. If this was present in the eye area you would not be able to treat the client. If they are not already receiving treatment recommend that they seek GP advice.
  • 11. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Eczema Reddening of the skin with swelling, dryness, itching, cracks and blisters. Quite often the skin leaks a fluid and this then forms scabs. The cause may be an internal or external irritant or may be genetic.
  • 12. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Psoriasis Red patches of skin appear covered by scale like waxy cells. If the area is scratched then bleeding will occur, removing the scales and then secondary infection may occur. No real cause is known, although it is thought to be hereditary or stress related.
  • 13. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Herpes eye infection Symptoms can include some or all of the following on the side of the affected eye: head and facial pain, a rash, ulcers, swollen eyelids, a red & painful eye, crusting of the eyelids and visual disturbances. The same viruses are normally responsible for a wide range of conditions, including chickenpox, cold sores and shingles. Medical advice must be sought and the client may be recommended to an eye doctor. As this condition lasts 2-3 weeks, the eye usually responds very well to treatment. Eye drops and creams, and, very occasionally, tablets may be given to help the eye to heal.
  • 14. Contra-indications that prevent Clare Hargreaves-Norris treatment
  • 15. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Impetigo A highly contagious inflammatory infection which:  initially appears as red, itchy patches/spots  the skin then breaks and small blisters appear  honey coloured crusts then develop which will leak serum and spread daily
  • 16. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Conjunctivitis This is caused by inflammation of the mucous membrane that covers the eye and lid. This causes the eye to become red, sore and bloodshot. A pussy discharge is often produced which causes the eyelids to stick together. It often feels gritty to the person and is contagious. Quite often it is due to a bacterial infection occurring, alternatively it could be due to a viral infection.
  • 17. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Inflammation This is a raised area of the skin that is quite often accompanied by a form of skin irritation. It is important that you do not treat as it could worsen the condition and cause the client discomfort.
  • 18. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Fungal infection A fungal infection of the body is called tinea corporis, which is more commonly known as ringworm. A highly infectious condition, it can easily spread and is recognised by:  firstly small red pimples appear  a flat scaly ring-like lesion forms  this heals from the centre outwards
  • 19. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Blepharitis The eyelid rims are red and irritated, they burn and itch and they may have an oily discharge or scaly skin around them. This is sometimes referred to as psoriasis of the eyelids. While over-the-counter treatments are available, it is advisable to seek professional help the first time you experience the condition. The pharmacist or eye care practitioner may be able to supply the client with medicated pads specifically designed for this or ointments containing antibiotics. It is important that treatment is received as soon as possible to reduce the risk of having the infection spread and cause more serious conditions.
  • 20. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Skin allergies The symptoms of an allergy would be redness, swelling or itching and in severe cases blisters may develop. A person can develop an allergy at any time.
  • 21. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Iritis This is an inflammatory condition affecting the iris, (the coloured part of your eye). It can be associated with other inflammatory conditions of the body, for example arthritis, but in most cases the cause remains unknown. It would be recognised by aching, painful red eye, small pupil, blurred vision and sensitivity to light. It is important that this condition is treated by an eye doctor.
  • 22. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Dry eyes The glands that keep the surface of the eye wet, under secrete resulting in dry eye. The symptoms are:  gritty, scratchy or foreign body sensation  itching  burning  discomfort or pain  often the eye is completely normal to look at There are many causes, for example age related changes, dry, dusty working conditions and central heating. The client must see their GP for treatment which consists of artificial tear drops for use during the day and possibly some ointment to use last thing at night.
  • 23. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Stye This condition affects the eyelid and is recognised as a red, inflamed lump on the eyelid, which can cause discomfort. It is caused by a bacterial infection of the sebaceous gland or eyelash hair follicle and pus may be present. If the client has a stye you can not apply artificial eyelashes.
  • 24. Clare Hargreaves-Norris Watery eyes Over activity or a blockage of the tear duct causes the eye to water frequently. This can be uncomfortable for the client and prevents the artificial lash treatment from being carried out.
