Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed critical gaps in infection protection and control (IPC) protocols across health care settings, underscoring the urgent need for health care systems, organizations, and providers to prioritize robust safety standards to protect patient, provider, and public well-being. In aesthetic medicine-where demand for procedures continues to rise-maintaining stringent IPC practices is more important than ever. This article reviews fundamental IPC principles, current best-practices specific to aesthetic medicine, and facility-level recommendations in Canada. As IPC standards continue to evolve, their application within aesthetic settings remains essential to protecting patient, provider, and public health. Ongoing adaptation and improvement in response to emerging risks and rising procedural volumes are crucial to maintaining the integrity and safety of aesthetic practice.
