By consistently using these disposable hygiene products, aesthetics or laser clinics can maintain a high standard of cleanliness and reduce the risk of infections or cross-contamination among clients and staff.

1. Identify Clinic Requirements: Begin by understanding the specific treatments and procedures offered at your clinic. Each treatment may have unique hygiene needs. Make a list of consumables required for each procedure.
2. Quality and Safety Standards: Prioritise hygiene consumables made from high-quality materials. Look for products and brands that meet relevant safety standards and have full certifications. 
3. Comfort for Clients and Staff: Choose hygiene consumables that prioritize comfort for both clients and staff. For example, select gloves and masks with a comfortable fit to enhance the treatment experience.
4. Durability and Reliability: Assess the durability of the hygiene consumables to ensure they withstand the rigors of clinic use without tearing or puncturing. This is particularly important for disposable gloves, aprons.

We have a few products made with sustainable material. Some common sustainable materials used in hygiene consumables:

• Bamboo:  Bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource that can be used to make a variety of hygiene consumables.
• Biodegradable Plastics: Some manufacturers produce biodegradable plastics made from renewable sources such as cornstarch or sugarcane. These plastics break down more easily in composting facilities or landfill environments, reducing their environmental impact.
• Recycled Materials: Hygiene consumables can also be made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper for disposable towels and tissue paper, or recycled plastic for aprons.
• Plant-based Materials: Plant-based materials, such as PLA (polylactic acid) derived from corn or sugarcane, can be used to make biodegradable and compostable alternatives to traditional plastics.

By choosing hygiene consumables made with sustainable materials, aesthetics or laser clinics can reduce their environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
