Safer Practice of Aesthetic Dermatology during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Recommendations by SIG Aesthetics (IADVL Academy).

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has changed the homeostasis of the medical world. In this critical phase, in addition to the general recommendations issued by World Health Organization (WHO) for medical practitioners and health care givers, certain other precautions and safe care practices need to be emphasized which are unique to each branch of medicine.
