Hygiene 100% Program
“Don’t risk your reputation - take hygiene very seriously. Regulations differ from place to place, but always adhere to the strictest standards because that is just good for your business and image!”
Many clients, such as this happy microblading customer, often ask why we strongly emphasize hygiene and go to great lengths to maintain a sanitary environment in our treatment rooms. The simple answer is that we are professionals who take hygiene very seriously. Regulations differ from place to place, but we always adhere to the strictest standards.
Here are some tips you may find helpful.
Sharps carrier vs sharps container. You're likely aware that used blades and cartridges belong in a sharps container. But do you also keep that container in a separate room and use a sharps carrier to transport used items there? This is our standard practice, and we highly recommend it.
Cover Everything Many artists forgo wearing medical caps and using drapes to capture better photos. However, minimizing any risk of hair coming into contact with the face is crucial during the procedure. Covering objects like lamps, wires, bottles, trolleys, and trays with barrier film is vital, especially if touching them before or after the pigmentation process. Do you also know which disposable items should be unwrapped or discarded in front of the client for transparency? We do.
Adopt a Cautious Mindset. Treat every client as if they could potentially transmit bloodborne pathogens. This approach ensures that, among other things, you always protect all micro-wounds with a medical-grade barrier cream after thoroughly cleaning your hands and putting on gloves.
Keep Non-Disposable Items at a Distance. Avoid keeping your phone or other non-disposable items within reach during the procedure. This is not only unprofessional, but it also poses a cross-contamination risk. Store all unnecessary items away from the procedure area, including other pigments and phones.
Frequent Glove Changes. Make it a habit to change gloves between different stages of the procedure, like mapping and pigmenting, and if you accidentally touch a non-disposable item. Let's face it: sometimes it happens, and many seasoned artists have mastered changing gloves in seconds.
These are basic guidelines. For a deeper understanding, consult the Hygiene 100% program on Holistic PMU platforms.
