Abstract
A Path to Resume Aesthetic Care: Executive Summary of Project AesCert Guidance Supplement-Practical Considerations for Aesthetic Medicine Professionals Supporting Clinic Preparedness in Response to the SARS-CoV-2 Outbreak.
Highlights
Aesthetic physicians and their staff will face new and unique challenges as government stay-at-home orders and related commercial limitations are eased, and the U.S economy reopens and healthcare systems transition from providing only urgent and other essential care to resuming routine care, elective procedures and services
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
State, and local government legal pronouncements and public-health conditions will inform the gating decisions of when permissible and prudent to reopen practices and re-engage with patients, and whether to limit certain procedures that may present greater contagion risk. While such gating decisions are not the focus of this Guidance Supplement, it is advisable that practices should consider, at a minimum, whether in their local communities: (1) new COVID-19 cases are declining sequentially to eliminate or at least substantially control community spread; (2) testing is available at a meaningful scale to validate perceived prevalence reductions; and (3) adequate protocols and resources are in place in conjunction with local health departments to conduct effective contact tracing where necessary in response to COVID-19 incidents
