Abstract

The development of health and medical sciences makes patients seek solutions for medical action not only for health but to add appearance and aesthetic value through beauty service facilities, namely beauty clinics. In a beauty clinic, there are doctors who provide medical aesthetic services known as aesthetic doctors and patients. Between the aesthetic doctor practitioner and the patient arises a relationship called a therapeutic agreement. Regarding medical aesthetics, in Indonesia there are no special arrangements regarding medical aesthetic services. The purpose of this research is to examine and analyze the legal protection for aesthetic doctors in therapeutic agreements at beauty clinics in Indonesia in order to determine legal certainty. The method used is a normative juridical method with secondary data taken through library research. The results of the study found that regulations regarding medical aesthetics refer to several regulations regarding related medical services and can be used as a legal basis for medical aesthetics because basically medical aesthetic services are also health care efforts. The regulations of medical aesthetic services are urgently needed for esthetic doctors to be able to practice according to competency and authority standards so that there is no bias between aesthetic general practitioners and dermatologists so they are entitled to legal protection.
