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!
