Hello! This is Dr. Kjar and Candessa Aesthetics. We have some exciting news to share! Our office will be opening again beginning Tuesday, May 5th. This will be a considered a “soft opening” as our state experiences this unprecedented trial period the next two weeks.

That being said, in order to keep our valued staff and beloved patients healthy, we will be operating under strict guidelines from the CDC and the Utah Health Department. If you have an upcoming appointment, please read the following guidelines carefully.

We will be operating at reduced hours for the next two weeks and reevaluating our hours each week thereafter. Those patients whose appointments were cancelled in April will have the opportunity to rebook first. We will progressively open the schedule back up if the state’s covid cases continue to plateau or decrease. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

As all employees and patients will be required to wear a mask at all times, we will temporarily be unable to perform appointments that a mask cannot be worn during. *WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A MASK* You will need to supply your own. We have a very limited amount available that may be purchased for a small fee. As an added precaution, an extra 15 minutes will be scheduled between each client to ensure enough time to properly sanitize each room.

All patient’s will be required to pass a health screening prior to being admitted into the office. We ask that you are the only person who attends your appointment. Any visitors will be asked to remain in the car until your appointment is completed. If you arrive early to your appointment, we will ask that you remain in your car, after your health screening, until your service provider is ready to see you. *NO WALK-IN’S WILL BE PERMITTED*. If you have product to pick up and do not have an appointment, please call us once you have arrived and we will send an employee to complete a curbside pickup.

We are still offering virtual consultations and recheck appointments. We do recommend that you meet virtually, when possible, to aid in social distancing measures.

Lakeview Hospital is gradually beginning to allow elective surgeries back in to the operating room, beginning May 4th. As of right now, we do not currently have access to the operating room, as there are other essential procedures that will take precedence. But we are hopeful that Dr. Kjar will be back in the OR before the end of May. All patients whose surgeries were cancelled due to covid will be the first priority to reschedule. We will update as more information becomes available.

We thank you all for your support, understanding, compliance and patience during this time. We know in the rush to return back to normal that there are still precautions that must be taken to keep our community healthy and safe. We have been overwhelmed by the kind and positive responses we have received from our patients as our office has worked to navigate our new “normal”. We hope you know how much we value all of you and we cannot wait to be back in the office to see you! Stay healthy, stay safe and we will see you soon!

For any questions prior to May 4th, please utilize our text line at (801)-335-6642 as we will not have someone in office to answer phones until then. Thank you!

We are very sad to announce that in accordance with Governor Herbert’s latest announcement, our office will temporarily be closing due to Covid-19.

Beginning today, April 1st, our office will be closed indefinitely. We are hoping to be back in the office by May 1st.

But never fear! We have been hard at work coming up with solutions to keep us all connected and to provide our patients with the same great products and services you have come to know and love.

As of right now, Dr. Kjar will continue to take virtual consultation appointments, as well as virtual rechecks. He is available during his regular clinic hours, Tuesday and Wednesday’s from 9-4. If you are a post-op patient and need to get ahold of Dr. Kjar with questions, his direct line can be found on your post-op paperwork. Otherwise, as our office is currently closed, you may text us at 801-335-6642 to schedule your appointments with Dr. Kjar. 

Our aesthetician’s are also taking virtual appointments. During this time they are here for you with Beauty Boot Camps, quarantine style! Have skincare that you’re not sure if you’re using right? Need to upgrade and add enzymes or masks to your regimen while you can’t come in for peels? Want to finally learn some makeup tips and tricks that you haven’t had time to come in and learn? We’ve got your back! Schedule a 30 minute ($30) or 60 minute ($50) FaceTime session with one of our aesthetician’s (the cost of the consult can be put toward product or treatments that will be performed at a later date) In these calls, we can modify your regimen, suggest at-home products to tie you over until your next in-office treatment, or suggest treatments for the future! You pick the subject and we are available and ready to help share our knowledge on any beauty questions you may have! Text us at 801-335-6642 to book!

Lastly, our Spring Open House. Yes, it’s still on! But it will be a purely digital format as of right now. More information will be sent out soon!

We will have a patient coordinator still in the office on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 9-12. If you need to speak to a live voice, feel free to call our regular office line at (801) 295-9105 during those hours.

We are going to miss our patients so much, but we know this is the best choice for our patient’s and employees. Soon enough, we will be back here and ready to serve our community once this calms down!

For any of you who have questions regarding your appointment, or questions for any of our staff, feel free to text us at 18013356642. We will keep you all updated as soon as more information becomes available.

Thank you so much for all of your understanding support during this difficult time. Stay home, stay safe and see you SOON! 💗
