Safety should always be our top priority when it comes to improving our appearance through aesthetic treatments. The concern about the use of biopolymers in aesthetic procedures is already long-standing, these materials can be extremely risky and cause serious complications.

Here are some recommendations to ensure that any aesthetic procedure you consider is safe and effective.

The risks of biopolymers

Biopolymers are banned synthetic substances that some beauticians use to create volume in specific areas of the body. However, its use can lead to serious problems such as chronic inflammation, deformities, and in extreme cases, severe complications that require urgent medical intervention. Once injected, these materials are difficult, sometimes impossible, to completely remove, which may affect long-term health.

Recommendations for safe aesthetic treatment

1. Verify the professional's credentials:

Make sure that the doctor or specialist is adequately qualified to perform cosmetic procedures. Preferably, choose a cosmetic plastic surgeon or a professional with recognized certifications in aesthetic medicine. Check that your credentials are auditable and legitimate.

2. Insist on approved products:

Before any procedure, verify that the products to be used are sealed and are approved by regulatory entities such as the FDA or INVIMA (if you are in Colombia). This ensures that they have passed quality controls and are safe to use.

3. Find out which products are ideal for which applications

Confirm that the substance to be injected is suitable for the procedure. For example, hyaluronic acid is not suitable for breast augmentation and buttock augmentation procedures, since the amount needed for a visible effect would far exceed the cost of conventional surgery, in addition to not being the right use for these substances.

4. Attention to the prior assessment

A good specialist should offer you a detailed consultation, clearly explaining the procedure, the products to be used, the expected results and the possible risks. This is a sign of professionalism and transparency.

5. Appropriate procedural site conditions

The environment where any aesthetic treatment is performed must be professional, clean and well equipped. This is indicative of the specialist's commitment to patient safety and well-being.
