What goes in a med spa emergency kit?
There isn't one federal list for med spas. What your kit holds is a clinical decision for your medical director, based on the procedures you do. Most kits plan for the same few emergencies: anaphylaxis, fainting and airway problems, low blood sugar, chest pain, and, for spas that inject hyaluronic acid fillers, vascular occlusion.
The checklist starts with common items for those situations. Cross out what your medical director doesn't want and add what they do.
Why hyaluronidase is on the list
Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid filler. It's the drug injectors reach for when a filler injection blocks a blood vessel, where minutes matter. If you inject HA fillers, keep it on site, in date and stored as its label says, and make sure your team knows where it is.
How to use this checklist
- Check the kit weekly: every item present, sealed and in date. Tick the week's column or write what was missing.
- Write the earliest expiry date for each item so replacements are ordered before they lapse.
- Replace anything used or expired the same day, and note it.
- Keep the kit where every clinical staff member can reach it, and make sure someone certified in Basic Life Support is on site when you treat patients.
Questions
How often should the emergency kit be checked?
Weekly is a common standard and what this sheet is laid out for. Check it after every use too, and follow any schedule your medical director or state sets.
Who should sign off the kit contents?
Your medical director or supervising physician. Their signature on the list shows the kit was set up under medical oversight, which is one of the first things an inspector looks for.
General guidance, not legal or medical advice. Requirements vary by state; follow your medical director and product labels.
