What should be done if a client feels warm or itchy during a chemical peel?

In the context of a chemical peel, when a client reports feeling warm or itchy, it is essential to prioritize their comfort and safety. Asking the client if they need cooling assistance and providing a fan is the best response in this situation. It acknowledges their discomfort and creates an opportunity for the esthetician to assess the client's level of discomfort while ensuring they feel supported during the treatment.

This approach allows for the possibility of alleviating any mild sensations that may arise from the chemical solution without disrupting the overall treatment. Cooling techniques can effectively soothe the skin, helping the client feel more at ease while still achieving the benefits of the peel.

The other responses could lead to unnecessary complications. Discontinuing the treatment immediately might be excessive unless the discomfort escalates to a concerning level, as mild warmth or itching can sometimes occur during peels. Ignoring the client's feedback downplays their experience, potentially leading to an unhappy client and a negative treatment outcome. Switching to a different product without consultation can compromise the treatment's efficacy and may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Therefore, ensuring the client is comfortable and supported throughout the process is crucial to providing a safe and effective chemical peel experience.
