Consumables

Aesthetic needles and syringes are crucial in cosmetic treatments for precise application and effectiveness, this helps to minimise discomfort for patients.

Gauze and gloves help to maintain sterility and prevent infection during procedures. They protect both the practitioner and the patient from potential contaminants, contributing to overall safety.

Consumables like needles, syringes, gauze and gloves are pivotal for patient safety, ensuring a sterile environment and reducing the risk of infection. The proper use and disposal are essential to make sure health and safety laws are followed.

The size of the needle is determined by the viscosity of the filler and the treatment area. Using the correct needle ensures that the treatment is effective, helps to minimise discomfort, and can slightly enhance the outcome of the treatment and the satisfaction of the patient.

When choosing consumables, it’s important for the practitioner to consider the specific needs of the treatment they are using the consumables for.

It is important that consumables are disposed of responsibly to help maintain sterility and to prevent infection. Hazardous waste must be managed to meet the ‘duty of care’ responsibilities, ensuring it handled, stored and disposed of without causing harm.

All manufacturers should have guidelines for storage. Typically aesthetic consumables requiring a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is also important to make sure that consumables are properly sealed and are used within the expiration date. Maintain strict inventory control to track usage and shelf life.
