“…In any pandemic, the need to feel good is inherent to a healthy mental-well-being, and wishing away the need for an aesthetic practice as "nonessential" may appear weak to some. While certain guidelines and expert consensus have recently been published [2][3][4] providing an overview of "safe" working protocols, it appears that we are evolving every day in our practices with respect to "what works" and "what does not." Our article aims to bridge the gap between guidelines and in-clinic experiences to provide a set of best practices to follow for aesthetic procedures after reopening our practices.…”

Until vaccination for the SARS‐CoV‐2 becomes a reality, it appears that the infection is here to stay. With many countries lifting lockdown restrictions, aesthetic clinics have started reopening with strict standard operating procedures in place. It is pertinent that the physician today understands the infection, disinfection measures, and personal protective equipment to reduce chances of viral transmission and provide safe clinical settings for oneself, the staff and the patients. An online meeting of eight experts in the field of aesthetic dermatology was convened, which particularly focussed on PPE in detail, risk categorization of aesthetic procedures, preprocedure recommendations, and generalized and specialized SOP's for aesthetic procedures. These recommendations were aimed to bridge the gap between published guidelines and clinical practice and are by no means fully conclusive, but signify learnings over the past few months in an active clinical aesthetic practice.

Over the course of history, humanity has faced a plethora of deadly diseases. From smallpox and the bubonic plague, to AIDS and Ebola, the human race is no stranger to global pandemics. As medicine and science advanced, pandemics became less frequent and mortality rates became better controlled. As history can attest to, humanity has been surviving epidemics with improved outcomes. This is largely due to our most important line of defense, information.The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a highly transmittable and pathogenic viral infection. It is transmitted human to human via respiratory droplets and fomites during close unprotected contact between an infector and an infectee. [1] The coronaviruses mainly infect epithelial cells in the lung, but SARS-CoV-2 has been detected in respiratory, fecal, and blood specimens of patients infected with the virus. [2] Appropriate precautions, up-to-date knowledge, and strict safety measures will be needed, not just when the lockdowns are eased in most countries but also for the entire duration of the pandemic. [3,4] The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes, and how it spreads. Protect yourself
