Importance of Sterilisation of equipments in Beauty Treatment
Sterilization is the removal of all microorganisms and other pathogens from a surface or object by subjecting it to high heat or pressure such as an autoclave. When we sterilize, we completely eliminate microbial viability, killing all non-pathogenic and pathogenic spores, fungi and viruses.
In the salon, sterilization is not really necessary. This process is only required on instruments entering the body cavity. This procedure is normally used in the medical and dental field. Some salons, however, do use heat or pressure to sterilize metal instruments.
For sterilizing purposes, I recommend an autoclave, and for smaller spaces a glass bead sterilizer. Always sterilize areas that come into contact with blood or other bodily fluids.
Instruments and tools such as tweezers and scissors should be stored in a covered container after being sterilized until you’re ready to use them.
