A move towards a holistic approach for patients with acne may be in hold for the future
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, strict infection control policies are now in place. These measures are expected to stay in place for the foreseeable future.
Most of the procedures provided in medical aesthetics clinics are carried out on a one-to-one basis, either by a physician, nurse or therapist. In these situations, it is important to have guidelines detailing the infection control measures for aesthetic clinics.
Recently, an online meeting was carried out with a group of international experts in the field of aesthetic medicine who have vast experience in running aesthetic clinics. The aim of this meeting was to provide a set of consensus guidelines to protect clinic staff and patients from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
These guidelines consisted of protocols for scheduling of patients, patient evaluation, triaging and for safety precautions regarding the various procedures. The procedures were categorised into low-risk, moderate risk, and high-risk, based on the probability of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 virus from the patient to the physician, nurse or therapist.
