Pre-Treatment Hygiene Preparation for Beauty Therapy

Ensuring a sterile and hygienic environment is paramount before beginning any beauty treatment, particularly those involving microblading or similar procedures where skin integrity is compromised. The following outlines the steps taken to prepare the treatment area.

Cleaning and Preparing the Treatment Area

Before initiating any treatment, the first step involves thorough cleaning of all surfaces. Using hygiene wipes, all handles and surfaces are sanitized to maintain a clean workspace.

Setting up the Treatment Table

The treatment table is covered with couch roll to ensure a hygienic barrier between the client and the table. Two sheets are used to cover the entire surface area for optimal cleanliness.

Preparing the Trolley

Similar to the treatment table, the top of the trolley is covered with two sheets of couch roll, ensuring complete coverage and hygiene.

Barrier Protection for Equipment

Barrier film is utilized to cover any areas that might come into contact with gloves during the treatment, preventing cross-contamination. This includes:

  • All working surfaces
  • Equipment such as ring lights

Application of Barrier Film

Barrier film is meticulously applied to all areas susceptible to touch, including the entirety of ring lights and trolley surfaces. This step is crucial for maintaining an aseptic environment.

Conclusion

By adhering to these meticulous preparation steps, beauty therapists ensure a safe, hygienic workspace ready for client treatments. This practice not only protects the client but also the therapist from potential cross-contamination and exposure to bloodborne pathogens during procedures such as microblading.
