It might be a little awkward and strange at first, but your esty will walk you through it all. Intake You may be asked a lot more questions on your initial health intake or subsequent health update forms. In addition to questions estheticians have always asked, including what medications you are taking, allergies, products you use, etc., you might also be asked about any recent travel, exposure to anyone with COVID-19, or symptoms you've recently experienced like a dry cough, or if you've had any trouble with heart rate during exercise, seen any new lesions on your body, or had new onset of muscle soreness. by Karrie Osborn Your esthetician can't wait to see you again!
