What is the Project AesCert Guidance Supplement?
This Project AesCert Guidance Supplement (“Guidance Supplement”) was developed in partnership with a multidisciplinary panel of board-certified physician and doctoral experts in the fields of infectious disease, immunology, public health policy, dermatology, facial plastic surgery, and plastic surgery. The Guidance Supplement is intended to provide aesthetic medicine physicians and their staff with a practical guide to safety considerations to support clinic preparedness for patients seeking nonsurgical aesthetic treatments and procedures following the return-to-work phase of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, once such activity is permitted by applicable law. Many federal, state, and local governmental authorities, public health agencies, and professional medical societies have promulgated COVID-19 orders and advisories applicable to health-care practitioners. The Guidance Supplement is meant to provide aesthetic physicians and their staff with an additional set of practical considerations for delivering aesthetic care safely and generally conducting business responsibly in the new world of COVID-19. The Guidance Supplement is published as an Appendix to this article and can be read in full online here.
Located within the appendix of The Project AesCert™ Guidance Supplement are 5 very useful checklists and schedules for your business use. Displaying them in your studio can serve as a reminder for staff while demonstrating to your clients that your premises are consistently supervised and disinfected before their service.
There are 5 printable documents listed below, including:
