 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.

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

lifestyle and general advice
DIET Clients on restricted or avoidance diets may experience skin break outs caused
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.

SMOKING In addition to causing cancer, it has a negative impact on skin: affects blood
supply, causing dull and sallow complexion. It causes depletion of Vitamin C
affecting the healing process. Breaks down fibroblasts in which collagen and
elastin are found. Introduction of free radicals can exacerbate
hyperpigmentation problems.

SUPPLEMENTS Taking these supplements may speed up the skin rejuvenation process.

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.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
IPL TREATMENTS

MEDICAL RESURFACING As a general guide, wait 4 weeks before commencing Monu professional

MONU Treatment Protocol
The Monu treatment system comprises both homecare products which clients buy to
use at home and professional products delivered during treatments by Monu skincare
professionals.

MONU
homecare products
Use of Monu products at
home can enable the
client to prepare the skin
for professional
treatments, optimising the
results. It can also act as
an effective follow-up
routine, reinforcing the
professional treatment.
MONU
professional products
Regular professional treatments can help improve the
results of using homecare products. For example, it can
enhance penetration of active ingredients.
Using both systems together can achieve dramatic results.
Having completed the full skin consultation and eliminated
contra-indications and precautions (see more details on
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
be re-applied 2-3 times a day if exposed to excessive radiation.
• If any skin reaction is noticed, stop product use and consult skin treatment professional
immediately.

Cairfree and Essential Cream Wax
Precautions: Clients should be warned to avoid heat
treatments such as saunas, hot baths or sunbeds for
24 hours after waxing. Very long underarm and bikini
line hairs should be trimmed first. In-growing hairs
should be lifted out with tweezers. Due to poor
circulation and lower body temperatures in very cold
weather, wax only small areas at a time. If wax does
stick on cold areas of the client, apply another thin
coat of warm wax and use a clean cloth to remove.
When waxing leave a small amount of cloth free to
hold on to.
Contra-indications: Do not apply warm wax to
moles, spots, warts, sunburn, cold sores, rashes,
broken skin, eyelids, inside of nose and ears, aureole
or skin infections. Clients who suffer from varicose
veins, excessive fluid retention or phlebitis should not
be treated. Clients who have diabetes should have
