Monu consultations an introduction
A successful skin health treatment programme
requires a full consultation with the client and
disclosure of relevant information on the client
consultation cards issued by Monu.
Objectives
To get a full picture of the client’s medical history, lifestyle and any
issues relating to their skin.
To establish the cause of any particular condition suffered by the client.
To create an appropriate and effective treatment plan, having correctly

diagnosed the client’s skin condition. Refer to the product decision tree
which breaks the products down into the following groups:
dry/sensitive, normal/combination, oily and all skin types.
Incorporate professional as well as home-based treatments.
Treatment delivery:
Following the consultation, a professional skin analysis is a
very important part of any treatment in order to:
1. Determine which products will be most appropriate and
effective.
2. Establish which treatment will be undertaken.
3. Observe best practice in the delivery of the treatment.
4. Manage client expectations.
5. Deliver complete client satisfaction.
NATURAL SCIENCE FOR YOUR SKIN

96
Client Evaluation
1. The concerns and needs of the client need to be established
by: following up any questions which have arisen as a result
of information disclosed on the consultation card; listening to
the client, examining and touching the skin.
2. classify any conditions/issues according to the Monu skin

concern categories:
•Mature skin •Fine lines, expression lines

•Dehydrated skin •Dull/uneven texture
•Sensitised/irritated skin •Environmental damage
•Oily/congested skin
If a client presents more than one symptom/concern the

treatment programme can be adjusted at the discretion of the
skin care professional or the primary concern can be treated
first.
3. Keeping good photographic records is helpful in showing

improvements at the end of a programme. This in turn, raises
both the product and the professional treatment in the client’s
estimation.
4. Patch testing can help establish or eliminate any concern if

there has been a history of product/ingredient reactions or
allergies. To patch test, a small amount of the product should
be applied the skin on the inside of the upper arm or on the
neck. Keep covered with medical tape for 1 hour and
thereafter, ask the client to monitor the area, reporting any
signs such as itching, erythema or ammation within 24 hours.
5. Update the client consultation card after each appointment

97

treatment for certain conditions.
Medical consent may need to be obtained
in these cases from the patient’s GP or

by the elimination of certain foods.
MEN VITRU men’s range is recommended. Be aware of ingredients which may cause
irritation or lead to in-growing hairs and folliculitis.

VITAMIN & MINERAL VITRU men’s range is recommended. Be aware of ingredients which may cause
irritation or lead to in-growing hairs and folliculitis.
WATER CONSUMPTION Recommend drinking 6-8 glasses of filtered water each day for good general
health and to avoid skin dehydration.
Recommended time lapse between Monu treatments and other

procedures:
Where clients have been undergoing certain procedures or taking medication, they may
need to wait before having Monu treatments:
MICRODERMABRASION Allow 3 weeks before starting professional Monu treatment
WAXING/ELECTROLYSIS Client should wait 3-5 days before having Monu treatment on the area.

routine, reinforcing the contra-indications and precautions (see more details on
professional treatment. both of these above), treatment can commence.
General Precautions
• Explain the procedure to the client and make them aware of what to expect.
• For treatments involving acid, use latex gloves.
• Advise clients to keep eyes closed for facial treatments and if any products come into contact
with eyes, flush out with water.
• Do not apply products with active ingredients to lips and nostrils to avoid drying out mucous
membranes.
• For application using a brush see the diagram for best practice.
Advice on general homecare and post-professional treatment

For the treatment to have continued benefits it is advisable to:
• Keep to the lifestyle advice regarding smoking, water intake and diet.
• Avoid use of sun beds but especially during a course of treatments.
• Follow instructions for use Monu home-based products.
• Wear an SPF15 every day – there are several daily moisturisers in the Monu range. This should
