When charting a microdermabrasion client, which detail is crucial to note?

When charting a microdermabrasion client, noting the number of passes and settings is crucial because this information directly correlates with the effectiveness and customization of the treatment. Each session of microdermabrasion can vary in intensity, which is determined by the number of passes over the skin and the settings used, such as suction levels or crystal flow. Documenting these specifics allows for a tailored treatment plan that can enhance results for future sessions. Additionally, it helps establish a consistent approach and aids in tracking the client’s progress over time.

While details like the client's skin type and the products used are certainly important, they serve more to inform the overall treatment plan rather than the specifics of the microdermabrasion procedure itself. The cost of the treatment is also relevant for transactional records but does not impact the clinical outcomes of the microdermabrasion experience. Focusing on the technical aspects, such as the passes and settings, is key to ensuring effective and safe treatment for each individual client.
