Cleaning beauty accessories with ultrasound: hygiene and efficiency for your salon

In beauty salons, cleanliness is the foundation of customer trust. Particularly when it comes to cosmetic treatments, such as deep skin cleansing, thorough preparation of the instruments is essential. When you clean your beauty equipment using ultrasound, you are opting for a method that makes your day-to-day work easier and delivers reliable results in instrument reprocessing.

Why switching from single-use to reusable instruments makes sense

Many practices now use almost exclusively single-use items. Whilst these are straightforward to handle, they do have drawbacks in the long run. Switching to high-quality reusable instruments made of stainless steel and cleaning them in a dishwasher offers tangible benefits for your day-to-day practice:

Significant reduction in waste

You’ll reduce your studio’s environmental footprint and operate in a more sustainable way.

Lower running costs

There is no longer any need for ongoing expenditure on restocking disposable items.

Cost-effective purchase

A compact ultrasonic bath and durable stainless steel instruments usually pay for themselves quickly.

Efficient workflows

Ultrasonic cleaning eliminates the need for time-consuming manual scrubbing, thereby saving you valuable working time.

For which cosmetic instruments is ultrasound suitable?

Tools that are particularly well suited to machine-based reprocessing are used, especially in the treatment of acne or in professional hair removal. These include, amongst others:

blackhead extractor

Milia cutter and scraper

Reusable lancets

Precision tweezers (for example, for the volume technique used on eyelashes)

Deep cleaning rather than "sterile dirt": how the ultrasonic bath works

When treating the skin, organic residues such as dead skin cells or sebum can easily become lodged in the fine grooves and joints of comedone extractors or tweezers. If these are only wiped down superficially before disinfection or sterilisation, there is a risk that particles of dirt will remain and become burnt in during the subsequent heat treatment. This results in what is known as „sterile dirt“.

An ultrasonic cleaner solves this problem through the physical effect of cavitation: microscopic bubbles form in the cleaning fluid and implode directly on the instrument. This removes organic contaminants mechanically, without contact and gently – even in hard-to-reach places.

On the safe side: meeting hygiene requirements

Although cosmetic instruments are not generally classified as medical devices, beauty salons are subject to the hygiene requirements of the respective federal states. Anyone carrying out treatments that penetrate the skin must maintain a correspondingly high standard of hygiene. Cleaning in an ultrasonic bath helps you to standardise your processes and reliably comply with the legal requirements on your premises.

The ideal, compact ultrasonic bath for your beauty salon

Compared to the medical sector, beauty salons generally have fewer instruments. As a result, large cleaning systems are rarely necessary. BANDELIN’s compact ultrasonic baths fit neatly into your workspace whilst still offering full, reliable cleaning performance for your instruments. Let our experts advise you now on the right ultrasonic solution for your beauty salon!

Frequently Asked Questions about Use in Beauty Salons (FAQ)

Pure water is not sufficient for thorough cleaning. A special cleaning and disinfectant product is required, one that is suitable for the materials of the instruments and the type of contamination (such as sebum and skin oils).

The duration depends on the degree of soiling and the cleaning agent used. As a rule, the ultrasonic cleaning time is between 3 and 10 minutes. This saves a considerable amount of working time compared with manual cleaning using a brush.

For hygiene reasons and to ensure maximum cleaning effectiveness, the solution in the beauty salon should be changed at least once a working day. If the solution is visibly heavily soiled or cloudy, it is advisable to change it immediately.

Instruments made from high-quality stainless steel are ideal. In the case of painted tools or instruments with plastic handles, material compatibility must be checked beforehand, as the energy from the ultrasound, in combination with the cleaning agent, can cause paint layers to peel off.

Yes. After being removed from the ultrasonic bath, the cosmetic instruments must be thoroughly rinsed under running water (ideally demineralised water). This ensures that any loosened dirt particles and residues of the cleaning solution are completely removed before the instruments are dried and, if necessary, sterilised.
