How Often Do Clinics Restock Post-Procedure Repair Masks?
What Drives Repair Mask Consumption?
Procedures that end with a mask, multiplied by masks issued per procedure. A med spa running 25 laser or peel procedures a week issues about 25 masks a week from the post-procedure repair mask. That is the whole restock calculation, and it is why the answer changes the week a new treatment is added to the menu.
The mistake most clinics make is to order by habit rather than by procedure count, so a mask that sat unused through a quiet month expires while a new laser package is selling out.
How Long Does a Case Last?
| Procedures per week | Masks per week | Case (60 masks) lasts | 300-mask order lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 10 | About 6 weeks | About 30 weeks |
| 25 | 25 | About 2.5 weeks | About 12 weeks |
| 40 | 40 | About 10 days | About 7 weeks |
| 60 | 60 | About 1 week | About 5 weeks |
| 60 with take-home kits | 90 | About 4 days | About 3 weeks |
Take-home kits are the line that changes the order: a mask sent home doubles consumption without changing procedure count, and clinics that add a kit to a package usually find this out when a carton runs out mid-Saturday.
Why Do Some Clinics Over-Order?
Because the freight is fixed and the case is small. A clinic taking one case pays the same delivery cost as one taking five, so the instinct is to buy up to the 300-mask minimum and store it. That works when storage is cool and dry and fails when cartons sit in a warm treatment room, where the sheet mask inside can degrade before its date.
Two or three weeks of cover is enough for a med spa, and it has the side benefit of keeping stock fresh through seasonal demand.
How Should Masks Be Stored?
Sealed in the carton, in a cupboard away from sunlight, heat and the autoclave. A foil sachet protects the sheet until it is opened; a sachet left on a window ledge in July does not. Rotation is simple: date the carton when it arrives, use the oldest first, and keep the working stock in the treatment room to one carton rather than a week's worth.
What Else Moves With the Masks?
The items in the same kit: CliniEco Repair Mask — Professional Formula, sold from 300 masks (five cases) for the clinic that has settled on a weekly rhythm, and gloves for the person applying the mask, where 
CliniEco Medical Nitrile Gloves — 3.5mil Standard, Blue, 1,000 Gloves (10-Box Case) is the usual weight at the treatment trolley.
What Does the Record Need to Show?
The mask issued, with the procedure, the date and the carton lot. That record does two jobs: it ties the product to the client, and it tells a manager which treatment is actually consuming stock. Public Health Ontario's personal service settings guidance expects a setting to show how single-use items are handled, and a carton with a date and a lot is the simplest version of that answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many masks come in a case?
A case holds 60 masks. Wholesale orders start at 300 masks, which is five cases, and that is the size a busy laser clinic holds.
How often should a med spa reorder?
When two to three weeks of cover is left. A clinic running 25 procedures a week uses about 25 masks, so a case of 60 lasts about two and a half weeks and the 300-mask minimum about twelve weeks.
Is one mask per patient enough?
For a single post-procedure application, yes. Some clinics send a second mask home in a take-home kit, which changes the consumption figure rather than the storage rule.
Do repair masks expire?
Yes, the carton carries a shelf life. Keep cartons sealed, out of direct sun and away from heat sources, and rotate so the oldest carton is used first.
