In Portugal, some of the most popular aesthetic procedures are legally treated as healthcare acts, which means patients should look beyond marketing and ask the right questions. Who is performing the treatment? Is the clinic properly registered? Is there a medical assessment before the procedure? Is there a clear follow-up plan?
Common procedures such as botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers fall under healthcare regulation, and that patients should verify clinic registration, licensing, and the professional responsible for their care. A lower price may look attractive at first, but safety, qualifications, and aftercare matter far more in the long run. ISAPS also highlights that safe aesthetic care depends on a qualified practitioner and an authorized clinical setting, not just the procedure itself.
The best decision is an informed one.
