We are pleased to announce the re-opening of our medical services on June 2, 2020 !

Dear valued SF Aesthetic and Laser Center patients and families,

At your next visit, you may notice a few changes as we update some protocols to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Dr. Tsai has been tested several times over the course of her volunteer work in New York City (she returned 05/24/20) and it is confirmed she is positive for IgG antibodies (and negative for PCR). Which means she is NOT infective or contagious. Of course, she will always wear PPE when seeing patients.

Our office will contact you before your appointment to screen you confirming you are healthy enough to proceed with your planned visit to our office to receive elective treatment. Please sign the NEW Covid-19 consent and return to us before your appointment time.

Please migrate your Brilliant Distinctions account to Allergan’s new loyalty program ALLE. Or, redeem your Aspire rewards before your appointment. Go to Alle.com or Aspirerewards.com or to migrate or redeem rewards (or sign up!) ahead of time so that we may apply the discount to your treatment. They both have APPS.

Any patient entering the office MUST wear a face covering / mask. We require this to enter our practice. This also includes children over the age of four. Children must stay with their parents during their visit. If there is a medical reason you or your child cannot wear a mask, please communicate with us at time of pre screening for your appointment.

A staff member will come and greet you upon entering the office. We will ensure you are wearing a mask before directing you to a treatment room where you can wash your hands with soap and water or sanitizer, which we will have available throughout the office.

For patients who require topical numbing prior to laser hair removal, please note you will now have to do so from home. Dr. Tsai can prescribe EMLA upon request. This does not apply to topical numbing for other procedures.

Our premises and all instruments are disinfected or sterilized throughout the day in treatment rooms, reception and bathroom; this protocol includes cleaning and disinfecting all surfaces, including exam tables, chairs, keyboards, computers, chin/arm rests, and handles.

 In the reception area, treatment rooms and restroom we will no longer offer communal items such as magazines, beverages, refreshments, pens, product testers, brochures, makeup wipes, lotion or other such items that may be handled by multiple people and are difficult to disinfect.

To comply with social distancing recommendations, we have reorganized our office in such a way to maintain physical distance between staff and patients. In addition, to limit the number of people in our practice at a given time, only the patient(s) will be allowed in the office at time of appointment. We respectfully ask you to have guests wait in the car or outside of office. We regret to inform you that we can no longer accommodate pets visiting in office. We hope that you understand. It makes us sad, too!

Appointments will be continued to be managed to allow for appropriate social distancing between patients. This may mean you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment. Thank you for your continued understanding with respect to the availability of certain types of appointments.

We appreciate your patience as we adhere to these guidelines. We know it is an adjustment for us all. If you have any questions in regards to these new protocols, please feel free to reach out to us.

We sincerely appreciate your trust and loyalty in Dr. Tsai and very much look forward to welcoming you back into our practice.

Sincerely,
Dr. Tsai and SF Aesthetics team

COVID-19 Consent2020

Dr. Tsai is the absolute best and my only regret is I didn’t consult her sooner. I had several spots that showed up on my face and even though they looked the same to me, she explained why they were completely different and recommended different courses of action. The reviewers are spot on here – she is extremely knowledgeable about skincare, she answers all questions thoroughly, doesn’t rush you, and she is very honest about the treatment so you don’t have unrealistic expectations. Post treatment, my skin did exactly what she said it would do. She’s amazing.

Holden C., Berkeley CA

I cannot say enough good about Dr. Tsai. She is truly holistic in that she relates to clients on a very human level–she genuinely cares about other people and this translates. She does not ‘sell’ you yet is honest in her assessment of what can be done to improve appearance and skin condition.

Basically, she’s just a good person with lots of medical expertise.

Kristin S., San Francisco, CA

Dr. Tsai helped my melasma, acne, and age spots. She looked through my products and refused to let me buy her products until I finished what she thought could help my problems. She is thoughtful and patient with all my concerns and questions. I’m finally able to go without makeup again. Ask for her before and after photos!

Brie M., San Francisco, CA

After discovering Dr Tsai, I don’t want to go to anyone else. I don’t live in San Francisco anymore, but the 2-3 times a year I am visiting, I make time to see her. She is trustworthy, exceptional, and a delight to visit… and she makes me feel fresh and confident.

A.N.

I don’t live in San Francisco, but split my time between North Sonoma County and Paris. It is worth the effort to come into the city to have a session with Dr. Tsai. She is caring and careful and her staff always works to accommodate my schedule when I need an appointment with the Doctor.

P.C.

After going to 2 different local Austin physicians, I realized that Dr. Tsai’s experience and technique in the administration of aesthetic products was far superior to what I had experienced in Austin. I decided soon after to continue seeing Dr. Tsai. I now travel to San Francisco 2 times a year just to see Dr. Tsai. The additional travel expenses is well worth it as Dr. Tsai is one of the best skin care specialist in the business. I look forward to my next trip out to San Francisco! 10 out of 10.

Laser Treatments
