Covid -19 Policy

COVID -19 (POLICY)

As Covid-19 is still an ongoing global pandemic, we have produced a policy to guide our clients through the steps we are taking to ensure the safety of both our clients and our staff.

We have produced this policy in line with multiple sources from within the medical community and the government. Covid-19 is an evolving pandemic and therefore this policy is subject to change as the situation evolves. Rest assured we will be responding to any changes dynamically.

It is a bit lengthy but please do take the time to read it prior to your appointment.

In particular, pay close attention to the ‘BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT’ and ‘ON THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT’ instructions.

Safety is our number one priority and we are an aesthetic clinic with high infection control standards.

There are certain steps we need our clients to take to maintain this and we greatly appreciate your cooperation with the measures we will be implementing.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

You must not have any dermal filler treatment 2 weeks before your COVID -19 vaccine and 3 weeks after receiving, we are more than happy to reschedule your appointment if necessary.
Please wear a mask/face covering if possible. We will also have sufficient supply in clinic if you do not have one.
Space in the clinic is limited so please attend your appointment alone. If someone comes with you, please ask them to wait outside the building.
Please limit the number of belongings you bring to the clinic.
Please try to use the toilet before your appointment to reduce the need at your appointment to reduce the risk of cross contamination.
We will still be using numbing cream! However please take 1g of paracetamol 30-60 mins prior to your appointment (if not allergic). This is a great tip to help minimise any pain.
Please bring your own water bottle and ensure you have eaten before your appointment to reduce the risk of feeling light headed during the procedure.
Avoid wearing makeup to limit the time taken to remove it. Please minimise jewellery worn on the day.

ON THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT

Please enter the premises no more than 5 minutes before your appointment. If you arrive early, please wait outside the building so we can prevent over crowding inside. If you arrive late, we may not have sufficient time to complete your treatment on the day.
Please use the hand sanitiser provided and sign in with the NHS Track and trace QR Code.
A mask will be provided if you do not have one. Please keep the mask on while you wait.
Please try to avoid using the toilet. If you do use it, please leave it as you would expect to find it.

STAFF MEASURES

All staff will be using personal protective equpiment in line with current recommendations and evidence. Wearing a mask can make social interaction difficult and we apologise in advance for this.
Regularly washing hands and using alcohol gel between and during each appointment.
Allocating sufficient buffer time between patients to disinfect the clinic and ventilate the room.
The practitioner will be wearing clothes that are only worn in clinic and washed daily at 60C
