What is the purpose of a ventilation system in a treatment area?

The primary purpose of a ventilation system in a treatment area is to manage airborne contaminants. Effective ventilation helps to dilute and remove potentially harmful particles, vapors, and microorganisms from the air, creating a safer and healthier environment for both clients and practitioners. This is particularly important in settings like electrology, where skin treatments may release particles into the air or where chemical agents may be used.

Maintaining clean air is crucial for infection control and minimizing the risk of respiratory issues that could arise from exposure to such contaminants. In addition, it contributes to overall air quality, which is a fundamental aspect of patient comfort and safety during treatment sessions.
