Storage Guidelines
- Temperature Control: Most injectables require storage between 2–8°C (refrigerated).
- Light Protection: Keep products in their original packaging to protect from UV light.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing can damage sensitive proteins in toxins and boosters.
Shelf Life & Expiration
Every product has a manufacturer-assigned expiration date. Using products beyond this can reduce efficacy and increase risk.
Handling Practices
- Maintain a sterile environment during preparation.
- Always check packaging integrity before use.
- Follow manufacturer instructions for reconstitution (e.g., botulinum toxins).
Disposal & Safety
Used needles, vials, and packaging must be disposed of according to medical waste regulations. This protects both practitioners and patients.
Product safety starts with proper storage and handling. Clinics that follow best practices not only protect patients but also preserve their professional credibility.
