What is prohibited regarding porous instruments that cannot be sanitized?

Porous instruments that cannot be sanitized are prohibited from being reused without disinfection because they can harbor bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can easily transfer from one client to another. During esthetic procedures, maintaining a high standard of hygiene and sanitation is crucial to prevent infections and ensure client safety. Since these instruments cannot be effectively disinfected, their reuse without proper sanitation poses a significant risk to both clients and practitioners.

It is essential to adhere to proper procedures regarding the use of porous instruments, which may include discarding them after a single-use or choosing non-porous alternatives that can withstand disinfection processes. This practice upholds the regulatory standards in esthetician law and promotes the health and wellbeing of clients.
