As Emerage Medical reopens to the public, we’re implementing extensive protocols to keep our practice virus-free, and our staff and patients safe. Our approach closely follows public health directives and the latest recommendations from medical journals and academies.
Fewer People, Less Risk The most visible change is reduced in-office staff. Fewer people means less person-to-person contact. We are only seeing about 25% of our normal patient volume and will only increase this by expanding our operating schedule – not by reducing time between patients.
Here’s How Patients Can Help
1.Please do not bring guests unless absolutely necessary, as they will not be permitted in the waiting room.
2.Please continue to wear a mask or face covering until you enter the exam room.
3.We screen everyone who enters the office – staff and patients alike – about recent travel, flu-like symptoms and any potential exposure to COVID-19. Please help us by being transparent in your answers.
4.Please allow our staff to take your temperature at check-in using a contactless thermometer.
What to Expect After Check-In
After the check-in screening, patients will be directly escorted to their exam room to complete any paperwork. This is to reduce potential contact with other patients. Clean pens and clipboards will be provided to everyone and resterilized between each use.
Even More Safety Measures
Everyone on our staff has been directed not to come in if they have any symptoms of COVID-19 or recently came in direct contact with anyone who’s tested positive. Here’s what else we’re doing to keep you safer:
• Staff members will be wearing protective masks at all times.
• All chairs, surfaces and non-disposable equipment will be wiped down with antibacterial wipes between patients and at the top of every hour.
• All in-person meetings with suppliers, vendors or salespeople have been canceled to reduce unnecessary foot traffic.
• Hand-sanitizing stations are available in nearly every area of the office.
• The entire practice will be cleaned each night, including periodic deep cleanings to further sanitize the premises.
MTS Roller™ uses 200 very fine needles to injures the skin sufficiently enough to stimulate collagen/elastin production. Resulting micro-channels also aid in infusing therapeutic serums for greater penetration and increasing overall efficacy.
• Before each use, check the roller to see if there is any damage, such as bent needles. Check to see that the roller can spin and move freely. It is imperative to prevent the needles from bending, as this can cause skin damage. Avoid dropping roller and store it safely when not in use.
• Roller should be replaced after approximately 12-16 uses, as the needles will dull with continued usage. You will be able to tell if the needles are dull if rolling becomes more painful than it was previously.
• Clean the roller with 70% isopropyl alcohol before and after each use to prevent infection. Never use the roller on more than one person.
• Do not use on open wounds. Do not use roller during a herpes or a cold sore outbreak; wait until skin is fully recovered.
• Avoid using this dermaroller around orbital area (eye sockets).
• Avoid using skincare with certain acidic ingredients immediately before or after dermarolling, such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or vitamin C.
• Avoid putting on makeup or sunscreen for a few hours after dermarolling. Always wear sunscreen when going out into the sun.
• Use roller 1 time per week at night unless otherwise instructed.
• Skin reddening of the treatment area is normal and will fade within a few days.
Why Dr.Emer
loves it.
When people think collagen and elastin, they don't always remember your body produces these naturally. This roller has 200 very fine needles that help to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Resulting micro-channels also aid in infusing therapeutic serums for greater penetration and overall efficiancy.
