e pride ourselves on creating a calm, relaxing, spa-like environment, while maintaining and executing STRICT sterilization standards and practices. Every piece of equipment (clamps and receiving tubes) goes through an ultrasonic cleaner (a machine that uses ultrasound to remove microscopic debris from the small crevices,) an Autoclave (a machine that uses high-pressure steam to sterilize,) and equipment that cannot be autoclaved due to structure and size (surface areas, chair, and trays) is sterilized using Madacide (Hospital-grade germicidal solution.) All equipment and/or instruments that are NOT reusable (Piercing Needles, Biopsy punches, gloves, dental bibs, etc.) are disposed of in appropriate containers, including a sharps medical waste container for all used needles and biopsy punches.
