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.
Stay on the cutting edge of post-procedure recovery with Marini BioShield. Hydrates and protects the skin to enhance recovery while reducing visible social downtime. This patented, silicone-based, non-petrolatum formulation with targeted growth factors, peptides and anti-inflammatory agents provides an occlusive, oil-free matte-finish for superior wearability and satisfaction. Designed for immediate use following chemical peel treatments, PDT (photodynamic therapy), ablative and non-ablative laser procedures, and most treatments commonly associated with social downtime.
• This product is intended to be applied like a mask in a thin layer to cover the skin for barrier protection. It should be applied as a uniform layer over the entire treated surface. It is not meant to be rubbed in or patted on. For best results, follow these instructions:
1. Apply product in one direction only using slow, smooth, and long motions.
2. For the most uniform coverage, apply the product using multiple pea-sized increments as required.
3. Starting along the tear duct, spread the product directly across the face toward the outer edge of the cheek as shown.
4. Repeat motion in stripes from the center face to the outer jawline progressing downward across the cheek to cover the entire mid-face and upper lip.
5. Starting at the center of the forehead, spread toward the temple and down the outside edge of the face. Repeat to cover the entire forehead.
6. To cover the chin, start along the outer jawline near the ear, and spread toward the center of the chin.
7. Repeat for the opposite side of the face.
• This product will slowly dry, creating a flexible, enriched silicone barrier on the skin for recovery.
• After recovery, the product may be used in a thin invisible layer to enhance hydration and provide continued recovery benefit. Makeup may be applied over the product at this time.
