Temporary Office Closure Due to Coronavirus

Monday January 18, 2021

We are excited to announce that we are now seeing patients again in our office. We are taking additional safety precautions such as additional sanitation and scheduling only one patient in the office at a given time. To maintain our high standards for safety, we kindly request that patients arrive on time to their appointment since arriving early or late may disrupt our schedule. Please contact our office via telephone or text message (818-835-1833) if you anticipate arriving early or late to your appointment. We appreciate everyone's patience as we reschedule our appointments over the coming weeks and we look forward to seeing our wonderful patients again.

Monday January 4, 2021

We wish everyone a happy new year and hope that everyone has been safe and healthy. Over the past nine to ten months, as a result  of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we have done things much differently in our office. After initially being closed for approximately two months, we implemented a number of new policies to ensure everyone's safety. Due to the recent increase in the number of Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the county, we will not be seeing patients in the office for approximately one to two weeks and we will contact our patients with appointments to reschedule. We will be working virtually from home. Feel free to call our office at your convenience with questions. Kindly leave a message if we do not answer and we will return your call at our first opportunity. Our online store is open and our current specials are available.

Dr. Alex is scheduled to receive received the COVID-19 vaccine on Monday January 4, 2021.

Please return here for updates. Thank you to all of our valued patients for your kind understanding and we wish everyone health, safety, and happiness.

Returning after COVID-19

We hope that everyone has continued to be safe and healthy during these trying times. It is a pleasure to share this latest update that we've all been waiting for.

On May 8, 2020, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health had previously posted information on their website regarding resuming deferred and preventative healthcare in Los Angeles County

While their guidance stated that facilities need to be able to follow the CDC’s Interim Prevention and Control Recommendations for Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Coronavirus Disease in Healthcare settings, we are pleased to announce that the CDC most recent update on May 18, 2020 stated that the prior recommendation that all elective procedures be postponed has been removed. All of these documents granting us permission to reopen have been posted on our front door and are available below. We have all of the most up to date documentation and will continue to monitor and follow all CDC and LA County guidelines.

We are excited to see our existing and new patients back in our office! Please contact us via telephone (818-835-1833) or on our website as soon as you feel comfortable to schedule an appointment. We have a long list of patients that are due to visit our office and we are doing our best to accommodate everyone. We greatly appreciate your kind understanding and patience.

We are following all guidelines provided by the CDC and Los Angeles County. However, since safety is our top priority, we have implemented new policies that go above and beyond these recommendations for everyone's safety. Please review our new policies by clicking the link below prior to visiting our office. These are also posted on our front door. Thank you for your cooperation.

New Policies


Monday May 11, 2020

We hope that everyone has been safe and healthy during the past nearly two months while staying at home. Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti's Safer at Home order will expire on Friday May 15, 2020. Unless this gets extended, it is our plan to reopen our offices on Saturday May 16, 2020. We have had many patients request treatments and we appreciate everyone's patience during this time; we are excited to be able to see our wonderful patients soon. At the same time, we have many patients that would feel more comfortable continuing to stay home. We understand and respect both sides.

We want to take this opportunity to reassure our patients that safety is our top priority. We have developed a series of guidelines we will be following and ask our patients and guests to follow, and we have expanded the guidelines. Our goal is to not only abide by all guidelines recommended by the government, but to go above and beyond to maintain a clean, sterile, and safe environment in our office. We thank our patients and guests in advance for adhering to our new guidelines. Please click the links below for more information.

Update on temporary office closure

As you know, our office has been temporarily closed since March 20, 2020. The tentative date of reopening is May 16, 2020, which is subject to change based on government restrictions. However, we are getting ready to reopen. We couldn't be more excited to see our wonderful patients.


Happy Mother's Day


We are always excited about upcoming holidays. Although we are practicing social distancing, Mother's Day is coming up and we have a number of specials to treat your mothers on this occasion. These include a $500 gift card for $400, gift with purchase specials on products, and laser and chemical peel specials. Please click below for more information.

A E Skin Specials


The novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. The health and safety of our patients, staff, and guests are our top priorities. Therefore, our office was temporarily closed effective March 20, 2020 for everyone’s safety and pursuant to the Safer at Home emergency order by Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti. Upon reopening, we have set a number of new policies, procedures, protocols, and guidelines to ensure safety. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Greeting Patients and Guests

Although we enjoy having a warm and friendly atmosphere, we will not be shaking hands and we will ask patients to sit in specific areas to maximize social distancing.

Sanitation

All areas will be fully sanitized before and after each patient enters/exits the area. This includes countertops, door handles, sinks, etc. The entire office is also fully sanitized at the beginning and end of each business day.

Face coverings

Everyone entering the building will be required to cover their face with a mask, scarf, etc. and we will require our patients to keep such protection on as much as possible during the office. Please be sure to wear a mask or other material to cover your face prior to entering the building and our office. The protection will be taken off when necessary, for treatments, to wash your face, to numb the skin, for photography, etc.

Social Distancing

We will keep one person in each room and staff will escort patients from one room to another to ensure safe social distancing. We kindly ask that you stay in the room until the staff is ready for you. Everyone in the office will be required to stay at least six feet from others with certain exceptions such as during treatments. Patients, guests, and/or staff will not be permitted to congregate in areas such as the hallway or reception area.

Personal Protective Equipment

Staff will be wearing masks and gloves to protect everyone. We will provide you with gloves and face masks if we have enough in stock (as such protective equipment has been on allocation or back order and supplies are limited). Patients will be required to sanitize their hands when they enter and exit the office; this will be available at the front desk. We will also have hand sanitizers throughout the office and you will have access to it. Additionally, we will provide gloves for patients to wear (if available). If supplies are available, we will provide travel size hand sanitizers to our patients. Upon exiting our office, we will provide sanitary wipes, towels, tissues, etc. (if available) to our patients to use when opening doors, pressing elevator buttons, etc.

Waiting Times

Although we have a policy of not having patients wait, with the new policies that we have implemented, there may be additional waiting periods. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.

Literature

We have many brochures and pamphlets in our office for our patients to browse. We have had extra printed and ask that you do not place any literature back where it was found. Instead, kindly take it with you or dispose of it in a trash can (available in each room).

Guests

We will be limiting the number of patients in the office to a minimum. Although we greatly appreciate your kind referrals, we kindly request that you do not bring guests with you to your appointments; including friends, family, or children. It would be our pleasure to schedule an appointment for them at a different time.

Parking

The valet service is currently having patients park their cars themselves; this may change. In order to limit the number of patients in the office, we may ask that you remain in your car and we will contact you via telephone or text message to ask you to come upstairs to our office.

Limitations of Treatments

We will not be treating lips with injectables for the time being. This may change at the appropriate time.

New Consent Form

All patients entering the office will be required to sign a new Coronavirus (COVID-19) consent form whether or not they are having a treatment.

Investments

We will continue to take investments in the form of credit cards and cash. Credit cards will be sanitized with wipes before and after processing transactions. If you prefer, you can read your credit card number to our staff it would be our pleasure to enter the information manually. Cash will also be accepted. However, change will not be provided. Instead, any change due will be credited to your account. All investments in the form of cash will be placed in an envelope to be opened after three days.
