Essential Laser Safety Protocols for Medical Spa Staff
Patient safety is the absolute cornerstone of any successful aesthetic clinic. Before operating medical laser platforms, clinical staff must strictly verify patient Fitzpatrick skin types, inspect protective eyewear Optical Density (OD) ratings, and conduct test spots.
Proper cooling protocols and smoke evacuators are mandatory for CO2 and RF procedures. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) should be displayed in treatment rooms, and emergency cut-off switches must be tested prior to starting the day's first patient.
