The mask uses a narrower protective strip to expose more of the face so that doctors can conduct procedures while reducing contact with the nose and mouth

The Waleerat Clinic does not currently sell the masks and say they have about 100 that can be disinfected and reused

As Thai businesses modify their work practices after coming out of lockdown, a beauty clinic in Bangkok has devised a mini face mask for clients receiving up close and personal cosmetic treatments during the era of the coronavirus.

The idea of the mask, which uses a narrower protective strip to expose more of the face, is so that doctors can conduct procedures while limiting contact with the nose and mouth.

“At first, I thought it was weird but it is actually really great because it’s specifically designed to keep us safe during facial treatments,” said Kannika Sae-Ngow, a customer at the Waleerat Clinic who was receiving a laser treatment on Tuesday.

The clinic does not currently sell the masks and say they have about 100 that can be disinfected and reused.

“We also plan to design other versions of these masks that can cover part of a nose so that doctors can treat the nose without having to take the masks off,” said Wisarut Krimthungthong, the clinic’s chief marketing officer.
