Quick answer: size the order from treatments per week and masks per client course, not from last month's invoice. A clinic running 25 light-based treatments a week and sending most clients home with a five-mask course needs roughly 500 masks a month, which is one to two cases depending on pack configuration. Our seven-colour LED face mask is the in-clinic device most Canadian med spas pair with a take-home repair routine.
How do you calculate masks per month?
Treatments per week × masks per course × share of clients taking a course × 4.3 weeks. Adjust downward for clients who buy retail elsewhere and upward for seasonal peaks before weddings and holidays. The result is a planning number, not a purchasing commitment; it exists so the reorder point can be set in the same unit as the shelf count.
| Input | Example clinic |
|---|---|
| Treatments per week | 25 |
| Masks per course | 5 |
| Share taking a course | 80% |
| Monthly masks | ~430 |
| Case size | 200 or 500, depending on pack |
What should the reorder point be?
Two weeks of usage plus the delivery lead time, expressed in the unit the shelf is counted in. For the clinic above that is about 215 masks. Setting the reorder point in packs rather than cases is the practical choice, because that is what staff actually pull from the shelf.
How does case size affect cost?
Larger cases lower cost per mask, but only if the clinic can use them within the shelf life and store them flat. Masks are bulky relative to their value, so freight per case is high and over-ordering shows up as a storage problem before it shows up as a cost saving. Clinics that order quarterly usually land between the two case sizes and keep the buffer in the smaller pack.
What should a clinic check on arrival?
Lot number, quantity, and that the pack has not been compressed enough to deform the mask shape. Deformed masks fit poorly and clients notice. Record the lot with the receiving date so a client reaction can be traced to a batch, which is the same discipline used for any consumable applied to skin.
How should ordering sit with the rest of the treatment room?
Masks travel with gloves, drapes and aftercare items, so consolidate to share freight. Multi-site clinics can review wholesale and multi-site ordering, and the B2B wholesale collection lists the lines stocked for institutional buyers. A printable consumable usage and lot log plus the log generator keeps the count and the lot record in one place. Reselling? become a distributor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many post-procedure masks should a med spa order per month?
Multiply treatments per week by masks per course by the share of clients taking a course, then by 4.3. A 25-treatment week at five masks and 80% uptake lands near 430 masks.
What reorder point makes sense?
Two weeks of usage plus lead time, counted in packs rather than cases so it matches what staff pull from the shelf.
Is a larger case always cheaper?
Per mask, yes, but only if the clinic can use it within shelf life. Masks are bulky, so over-ordering becomes a storage problem first.
What should be checked on delivery?
Lot number, quantity, and that the packs are not compressed enough to deform the mask shape.
