Our app is not just a mediocre collection of signs and signals for contraindications to a treatment, but a road map to conditions that are commonly seen and sometimes ignored in daily practice in our field of work.

We are also on a mission to make sure the material, its precision and actuality is updated on a regular basis.

Back to the basics:

Contraindication is a specific situation in which the treatment should not be carried out due to harm and danger to a person’s health.

There are two types of contraindications:

Total – a treatment cannot be performed

Relative – a treatment cannot be performed on affected area only

Map to Salon Compass Contraindications

We have created a pedestrian light (RED, YELLOW and GREEN)

YELLOW COLOUR - Relative Contraindication- Be cautious and do not perform the treatment over the affected area. This is a localised contraindication

RED COLOUR - Total Contraindication of the treatment

GREEN COLOUR - Not contraindicated, you can perform the treatment safely.
