Recommendations for the sale and promotion of dermocosmetic treatments at the office

Abstract

A novel chapter in current medical settings is the promotion and attention of esthetic aspects rather than health issues by health professionals. The human aspiration related to the search for personal beauty has generated new scenarios in medical practice. The Committee on Ethics and Transparency in the Physician-Industry Relationship (CETREMI) of the National Acad­emy of Medicine of Mexico has analyzed this phenomenon and has issued recommendations directed both to medical profes­sionals and to producers and potential consumers of esthetic procedures.
