5 Expert Tips for<br />
SAFER BEAUTY<br />
TREATMENTS<br />
A new German law came into effect on January 1, 2021, which aims to protect<br />
patients from unsafe cosmetic surgery. The revised ordinance on protection<br />
against the harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation (laser therapy) when used<br />
on humans stipulates that only specially-trained doctors may use devices for<br />
aesthetic reasons such as vascular removal, scar treatment, skin tightening or<br />
tattoo removal.<br />
1.<br />
GO TO A<br />
SPECIALIST<br />
From now on, only licensed doctors are<br />
allowed to use the mentioned devices for cosmetic<br />
procedures and they must have special<br />
training. The only exception being hair removal.<br />
Those who perform the treatment must be<br />
able to deal with possible complications. They<br />
should also be able to prescribe medication if<br />
necessary. Non-invasive and minimally-invasive<br />
procedures, like hair removal, are low-risk<br />
and are exempt from the new regulations.<br />
Other procedures, like the ones listed above,<br />
require a doctor, as they can anticipate potential<br />
complications and prescribe medication<br />
if necessary. Be sure to check that the doctor<br />
has the relevant certificates, though, demonstrating<br />
the requisite specialist knowledge.<br />

USE COMMON<br />
SENSE<br />
Cosmetic studios, beauty institutes and sometimes<br />
hairdressing salons lure you with cheaper prices.<br />
Voucher and discount websites also advertise<br />
questionable offers for aesthetic interventions<br />
that should definitely be avoided. An aesthetic<br />
intervention has a certain value, which is reflected<br />
in the materials and equipment used. It makes a<br />
difference whether suppliers get their products<br />
from debatable internet sources or from reputable<br />
sources that certify their devices and materials.<br />
The specialized training of doctors, the costs for<br />
device maintenance, hygiene and documentation<br />
standards are also included in the treatment.<br />
3.<br />
BE CRITICAL ON THE INTER-<br />
NET AND SOCIAL MEDIA<br />
Unrealistic ideals of beauty are being created<br />
on the Internet, especially on social media,<br />
which establish the “inflatable lip” or the<br />
“gladiator‘s chest” as the norm. This increases<br />
pressure on young people, in particular, to look<br />
a certain way. Doctors should primarily attract<br />
attention through their presence at specialist<br />
congresses and not through their Instagram or<br />
TikTok activities. Therefore, inform yourself not<br />
only via colorful social media channels, but<br />
also on the website of the provider. Here you<br />
should find everything about techniques, devices<br />
and materials used. It should also be clear<br />
who will treat you later. Controlled platforms<br />
like Jameda can be helpful here.<br />
