If non-disposable needles or lancets are used, what must be done?

In the context of using non-disposable needles or lancets, proper sterilization is crucial to ensure the safety and health of clients. Non-disposable instruments must be subjected to a thorough sterilization process to eliminate any potential pathogens or contaminants. This step is important to prevent infections and maintain hygiene standards within cosmetology practices.

Sanitizing with any disinfectant is not sufficient because sanitation may only reduce the number of microorganisms but does not guarantee that all harmful bacteria or viruses are destroyed. Disposal of these tools is not an option since they are meant for repeated use, and keeping them idle does not address the need for sanitation and risk management. The requirement for proper sterilization ensures compliance with health regulations and promotes a safe environment for both clients and practitioners.
