Likewise, ethics and medical aesthetics are inseparable. There’s a delicate balance to maintain between satisfying a patient’s wishes and doing what’s right for them practically and emotionally. Aesthetic medicine is founded on a solid ethical foundation.
Concerning Aesthetics in Medicine and Ethics
In medical esthetics, we strive to improve both our patients’ physical condition and their self-image. It is our responsibility as medical estheticians to always put the needs of our patients first. There are no more important factors to consider than this duty, not even material or mental well-being.
Any therapy that could compromise the patient’s health should be avoided by medical esthetics professionals while working with patients who are already in good shape but want to feel even better. To respect the trust placed in them by their patients, medical estheticians must adhere to a strict code of ethics.
