The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to last for an extended time, making strict safety precautions for office procedures unavoidable. The lockdown is going to be lifted in many areas, and strict guidelines detailing the infection control measures for aesthetic clinics are going to be of particular importance.
A virtual meeting was conducted with the members (n = 12) of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery Focus Group to outline the safety protocol for the nonsurgical facial aesthetic procedures for aesthetic practices in order to protect the clinic staff and the patients from SARS-CoV-2 infection. The data analysis was undertaken by thematic and iterative approach.
Consensus guidelines for nonsurgical facial aesthetic procedures based on current knowledge are provided for three levels: precautions before visiting the clinic, precautions during the clinic visit, and precautions after the clinic visit.
Sound infection control measures are mandatory for nonsurgical aesthetic practices all around the world. These may vary from country to country, but this logical approach can be customized according to the respective country laws and guidelines.
预计新型冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行将持续很长时间,因此对于办公程序必须采取严格的安全预防措施。许多地区即将解除封锁,详细说明美容诊所感染控制措施的严格准则将显得尤为重要。
与欧洲面部整形外科学会专题小组的成员(n=12)进行了虚拟会议,以概述保护诊所工作人员和患者免受 SARS-CoV-2 感染的非手术面部美容程序的安全协议。通过主题和迭代方法进行数据分析。
根据现有知识,为三个层面提供了基于非手术面部美容程序的共识准则:就诊前的预防措施、就诊期间的预防措施和就诊后的预防措施。
全球范围内,非手术美容实践必须采取健全的感染控制措施。这些措施可能因国家/地区而异,但这种合理的方法可以根据各自国家/地区的法律和准则进行定制。
