English to Japanese translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Instruments / Laser skin treatment

English term or phrase: test spots

It's not my teritory, but somehow this job landed on me.

The whole phrase is:
It is highly recommended to perform test spots when using the 1064nm wavelength to treat darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV-VI).

A previous translation says あらかじめしみでテストを行う, but I am not convinced that the spot here refers to しみ. Could it mean to perform a test on a small spot on the skin?

I would appreciate an explanation of what it is and its Japanese equivalent, or one of the two.

Thank you!
