For those who are going to undergo aesthetic procedures, the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) asks for attention to three points, so that everything occurs safely: Authorized location; Approved product; Qualified professional. Location Check whether the establishment (clinic, office, salon, etc.) has a license or health permit. If in doubt, consult your city's health department. Approved product Only carry out procedures with products authorized by Anvisa. Before the procedure, ask the professional to clarify any doubts. It is important to know: name of the product that will be used (including ingredients and expiration date) care needed after application possible risks or reactions and what to do if this happens See the Anvisa website for how to find out if a product has been approved. Qualified professional Check whether the person is qualified to provide the service they offer. Training can be proven through a training certificate, technical course, degree or specialization, as applicable. Anvisa highlights that it does not regulate or supervise professional practice. These are the responsibilities of the federal and regional councils for each profession, such as the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM), Dentistry (CFO), Nursing (Cofen), among others. The body also emphasized that beauticians cannot use medications in their activities. The use is restricted to cosmetics, that is, products for external use.

The agency only regulates products and health aspects related to the performance of these procedures.
