What is required of establishments and licensees when providing services?

The requirement for establishments and licensees to use clean and disinfected equipment is fundamental to maintaining hygiene and safety standards in the field of esthetics. Clean and disinfected equipment helps to prevent the transmission of infections and ensures that services provided to clients are safe and effective. Following strict sanitation protocols builds client trust and protects the health of both clients and practitioners.

Using clean and disinfected equipment is not only a best practice but also aligns with regulatory standards that govern the operation of esthetic establishments. Establishing a routine for cleaning and disinfecting tools, surfaces, and equipment is crucial for compliance with health regulations and helps in maintaining a professional environment.

On the other hand, relying on any available tools can compromise safety and hygiene, performing services without restrictions could lead to unsafe practices, and using only single-use supplies, while beneficial in certain situations, is not a universal requirement for all services. Thus, adhering to the standard of using clean and disinfected equipment is essential for safe practice in the esthetics profession.
