Clínica autorizada con licencia sanitaria U.48 para tratamientos de medicina estética en Tenerife

Aesthetic medicine in Spain is growing exponentially, not only in terms of the number of patients and interventions that are performed, but also in the number of professionals who are dedicated to it. Today we want to explain why it is important to choose the right place to have this type of intervention, what the U.48 Health License is and why it should be an essential requirement.

According to data provided by the Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine (SEME) in the report on the socioeconomic impact of Aesthetic Medicine in Spain last year, a total of 871,525 aesthetic medicine treatments were performed in Spain, of which 72% were facial, 22% body and the remaining 6% categorized as “other”. This was an increase compared to the number of treatments carried out in the previous year and, we are convinced, that a considerable increase will also be seen in the 2022 report.

The number of centres authorised with the U.48 Health Licence increased by 20%

As we mentioned at the beginning, not only have the number of treatments increased, but also the professional centers that are dedicated to it. The U.48 Health License is granted by the Ministry of Health of each Autonomous Community. In this way, it is possible to identify when the center meets all the requirements established by law and also when we put ourselves in the hands of real professionals.

It is a guarantee of quality that users can quickly identify, so it is necessary to ask and make sure of it before hiring any type of service in an aesthetic medicine center.

The year 2021 closed with 6,305 health centres authorised with this licence, which was an increase of 20.2% compared to the previous study, carried out in 2019. The life expectancy is increasingly high in Spain, so more importance is given to self-care or the culture of health. At Clínica Bajo, where we have the U.48 Health License, we continue to work to offer more and better aesthetic medicine treatments that help people feel better.
