What we stand for
Aesthetic medicine is medicine. That is why we advocate the same standards that apply in every other branch of medicine:
- Treatments are performed by a doctor, after an examination and in a suitable clinical setting.
- Every procedure is preceded by informed consent, with risks and alternatives clearly explained.
- Public communication is truthful: no promises of guaranteed results and no misleading “before and after” images.
- Special protection for minors and vulnerable people.
- Only authorised medicines and medical devices of known origin are used.
- Continuing education and evidence-based practice.
- Transparency in relations with industry.
