What is an important safety measure when using a suction machine?

Allow excess moisture on the skin
Overexpose the skin to vacuum pressure
Ensure proper hygiene and cleanliness
Use at high settings only

The correct answer is: Ensure proper hygiene and cleanliness

Ensuring proper hygiene and cleanliness is crucial when using a suction machine because it prevents the risk of infection and contamination. The suction machine works by creating a vacuum that draws out impurities, dead skin cells, and excess oils from the skin. If the equipment is not properly sanitized between uses, it can harbor bacteria and other pathogens that may be introduced to the client’s skin, leading to potential skin irritations or infections. Moreover, maintaining cleanliness of both the machine and the treatment area contributes to a professional environment, enhancing client safety and confidence in the esthetic services provided. Personal protective equipment and cleaning protocols should always be utilized to enhance safety and reduce any risk to the practitioner and the client.
