Abstract

The lack of a legal definition of aesthetic medicine benefits leads to a number of interpretive doubts about who can perform the above-mentioned procedures and the status of those who benefit from them. Only doctors have the knowledge and competence to change the appearance of the human body, while due to the fact that the legislator eliminated aesthetic treatments from the definition of health benefits, we can find aesthetic offerings, for example, in beauty salons. The definition of a patient has also been immanently linked to the use of health benefits, so those who undergo treatments not aimed at preserving, saving, restoring or improving health are consumers who are not entitled to a number of rights under the Act on Patient Rights and Commissioner for the Rights of the Patients. Therefore, the current Polish regulations on aesthetic medicine services conflict with the norms of the Constitution RP.
