Standardisation in aesthetic medicine
The Globalhealth Academy has embarked on an important new project in the field of minimal-invasive aesthetic medicine
At the moment, standardisation in aesthetic medicine is little more
than a vision.
The problem is a familiar one: Minimal-invasive aesthetic medicine is
booming, while surgical cosmetic procedures are on the decrease.
However, training in this dynamically growing field of therapy is
chaotically organised, dominated by the product manufacturers, and
differs from trainer to trainer.
In order to do something about this situation, therefore, the
NETWORK-Globalhealth Academy has decided to embark on an ambitious
project, namely to develop a training and study programme for doctors
that establishes independent standards for all known minimal-invasive
aesthetic therapy procedures. Through our members, the
NETWORK-Globalhealth has a great pool of knowledge in the field of
aesthetic medicine. We will therefore form work groups with our members
with the task of defining independent standards. At the same time, we
are seeking cooperation with a renowned university in order, if
possible, to complete this new form of training with a university
diploma. Initial talks are already in progress. We are all fully aware
that it will take several years’ work for this project to
reach completion. But precisely because of the booming demand for less
aggressive therapy procedures, we feel that it is our duty not to leave
this field to the big firms who understandably and legitimately wish to
sell their products and use “training” as a
marketing measure. So if you feel qualified to work in one of our work
groups, please ask for our questionnaire. We wish to limit membership
of each of the work groups to 5 qualified physicians. We would like to
install the following work groups as quickly as possible: Botulin toxin
A, mesotherapy, fillers, peelings, laser treatment, cryotherapy, and
combination treatments. If you have any other suggestions, please let
us know.
