Dr. Victor Bellini, an instructor of the Aesthetic Law subjects in Nepuga's courses and postgraduate programs, celebrated the recent court decision against the São Paulo State Regional Council of Medicine (CREMESP), which recognized the right of Aesthetic Biomedicine professionals to perform aesthetic procedures and teach courses in the field. The decision is an important milestone for the field.
A Long-Standing Fight
Dr. Bellini, who has been teaching health professionals for more than 15 years, stresses that winning the right to perform aesthetic procedures was hard-fought and marked by persecution from the medical profession. “Ever since we won our professional freedom, many did not accept it and began a campaign to prevent us from working independently”, he says.
Court Decision Against CREMESP Recognizes the Legitimacy of Aesthetic Biomedicine
The recent court decision, which recognizes the legitimacy of biomedical professionals working in aesthetics, is seen as a fundamental step in the fight for professional freedom. “The courts simply recognized what is ours by right”, says Dr. Bellini.
The Decision's Impact on the Field
The courtroom victory paves the way for the future of aesthetic biomedicine in Brazil, allowing professionals in the field to keep developing their skills and offering quality services to the public. “And health professionals, after years of struggle, won the right to grow professionally and became independent of the medical profession”, celebrates Dr. Bellini.
The Future of Aesthetic Biomedicine
With its legitimacy recognized, aesthetic biomedicine professionals can continue contributing to the development of the field and offering increasingly innovative and effective services to their patients. “Our fight is to guarantee professionals' freedom and their right to practice freely, independent of any other profession.”, says Dr. Bellini.
The court decision recognizes the right of aesthetic biomedicine professionals to perform aesthetic procedures and teach in related courses.
Dr. Ana Carolina Puga also commented on the case, even highlighting the expansion of Aesthetic Biomedicine:
“I see the aesthetics field becoming more and more specialized in small niches: professionals who specialize in the face, in hair (trichology), in the body, and even an interface between aesthetics and the integrative field, which is growing worldwide.”
On the occasion, the mother of aesthetic biomedicine took the opportunity to make remarks encouraging unity among biomedical professionals, who frequently face attempts at obstruction, especially in aesthetic practice:
“We must never be complacent, but prepared, ready for any attack, because others will certainly come. But we need to be with people who can truly help us, people who want to see aesthetic biomedicine grow, and it's not always the people we think can help us who will actually help us.”
And she adds:
“Only those who have felt our fight firsthand can truly lead these battles, so my advice is: join the strong to win, join the experienced and those who truly want what is best for this field.”
Aesthetic biomedical professionals can keep honing their skills, offering increasingly innovative, quality services to the public, and thereby helping the field have a promising future ahead, with professionals who are increasingly specialized, innovative and equipped to meet the market's diverse demands.
Aesthetic Biomedicine continues to rise, ready to offer increasingly effective and safe services to its patients. The unity and engagement of biomedical professionals will be crucial to consolidating this achievement and driving the field's development.
