How is your supplier storing products? Are the products certified, regulated and therefore insurable? Is the stock traceable? Is it legitimate stock? Are the products authentic?
FYAB are proud to regularly demonstrate our commitment to product quality and customer and client safety. We are not a pharmacy so we do not supply any products that require a prescription but as a reputable wholesaler we are proud to supply many pharmacies around the UK with Aesthetic products. Proper handling, storage, and shipping of professional medical products and devices for use in the Aesthetic and Beauty industries is crucial for maintaining their quality, safety, and efficacy. These products are sensitive to various environmental factors and require specific conditions to remain effective. Here are the key reasons why responsible suppliers like FYAB pay close attention to sourcing, receiving, shipping and storing our products correctly:
Patient Safety: The primary concern in the Aesthetics and Beauty fields is patient safety. Ensuring that products like dermal fillers, skin boosters and microneedling serums are stored, shipped, and received properly is critical for preventing any compromise to patient safety. Mishandling or improper storage can lead to contamination, loss of sterility or other issues that may harm patients or compromise the effectiveness of treatment.
Product Integrity: Products can be sensitive to temperature, humidity, light, and other environmental conditions. Adhering to proper receiving, shipping, and storage protocols helps preserve the integrity of these products. Failure to maintain appropriate conditions can lead to degradation, loss of potency, or even complete product failure, rendering them ineffective or potentially harmful to patients.
Product Traceability: Proper handling and documentation during receiving, shipping, and storage processes facilitate accurate product traceability. This enables effective recalls or investigations in case of any quality issues or adverse events. Maintaining comprehensive records of product movement helps identify any potential sources of contamination, quality deviations, or shipping errors, thereby ensuring prompt corrective actions.
Regulatory Compliance: Medical products and devices are subject to stringent regulatory requirements, such as those imposed by the CE European Conformity regulations and the incoming UKCA, or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other governing bodies in various countries. These regulations outline specific guidelines for producing, handling, storing and transporting products to ensure their safety and efficacy. Compliance with these regulations is essential to avoid legal consequences and ensuring client safety.
