How Many Repair Masks Per Patient? Sizing Post-Procedure Kits for Canadian Clinics
A post-procedure kit that runs short on masks hands the patient a half-finished routine. The answer moves with the treatment, so it is worth fixing a per-patient number before masks are packed.
How many repair masks per patient?
One mask per treatment day is the working default, and the span depends on how reactive the skin is likely to be. Most clinics pack the first mask into the take-home kit and hand the rest as a six-pack, so a single treatment covers three to seven days.
| Procedure | Masks in the take-home kit | Days covered | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light facial or peel | 3 | 3 | one per evening |
| Microneedling | 6 | 6 | once daily in the first week |
| Laser or resurfacing | 6 | 6 to 7 | patch test before the first use |
| Injectables or filler | 2 to 3 | 2 to 3 | one per evening after treatment |
The pattern behind the table is the recovery window. The more the skin barrier is disturbed, the longer the routine runs, and the more masks the kit holds.
What does a per-patient kit contain?
Most Canadian clinics build a small, repeatable kit rather than an open-ended one:
- A sheet mask for the evenings in the routine, in a sealed sachet until the patient opens it.
- A serum for the days between masks, applied to clean skin.
- A barrier or scar product where the treatment leaves a mark the clinic wants to follow.
- A routine card that names the number of days and the order of the steps.
How do you size a six-mask kit for a clinic?
A six-mask routine for one patient needs six masks, and the case holds twelve, so two patients come out of a single case. That is the arithmetic to use when sizing an order: multiply the number of procedures scheduled in a month by the masks each routine needs, then divide by twelve.
A clinic running twenty procedures a month at four masks each needs eighty masks, roughly seven cases. The order tracks procedure volume, so recheck it when the treatment menu changes.
How should masks be stored in the clinic?
Store the sachets flat, in a dry cupboard away from direct sunlight, and keep the case closed until the pack is opened so dust does not settle on the foil. Sachets carry a shelf life, so rotate the oldest box forward and write the delivery month on the case. A mask left in a hot car is not a mask to hand out.
Do repair masks need a patch test?
Yes. A patch test before the first full use is written into the product instructions and matters most for reactive skin. The hydrating mask is fragrance-free, alcohol-free and paraben-free, which narrows the list of likely irritants, but a patch test is still the sensible step before a full application.
For a clinic ordering in volume, the hydrating repair mask is the base line, backed by a post-procedure repair ampoule for between-mask days and a silicone scar gel where a mark needs following. This product is not intended to treat or diagnose any disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many repair masks should a patient take home after a procedure?
For most treatments, one mask per evening for three to seven days is the usual span, so a take-home kit holds three to six masks. A light facial or peel sits at three, while microneedling, laser or resurfacing sits at six.
How many masks are in a case?
The hydrating repair mask is packed as a case of twelve masks, made up of two six-packs. That means a single case covers two patients on a six-mask routine, which is the figure clinics use when sizing a monthly order.
Do repair masks need a patch test?
Yes. A patch test before the first full use is written into the product instructions, and it matters most for reactive skin. The mask is fragrance-free and alcohol-free, but a patch test is still the sensible step before a full application.
Should a clinic hand out repair masks without instructions?
No. The mask is part of a routine a clinician sets, so the timing, the frequency and the number of days should travel with the kit. A short printed card that names the routine is enough, and it keeps the aftercare consistent across the team.
