Sources: 9. Developments: 2. Chile’s National Consumer Service (SERNAC) has implemented a nationwide inspection campaign targeting aesthetic centers to address rising demand for facial and body procedures. The initiative, which began in late July, spans multiple regions including Metropolitana, Biobío, Antofagasta, Valparaíso, and Maule. Authorities are enforcing regulations regarding information transparency, requiring written informed consent for invasive treatments like Botox or hyaluronic acid. The inspections also focus on the visible display of sanitary permits and pricing in Chilean pesos, noting that QR codes are insufficient replacements for physical price lists. Additionally, SERNAC is monitoring for misleading advertisements, specifically those promising “permanent solutions” to wrinkles, and ensuring providers do not use consent forms to exempt themselves from liability for damages. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-10: SERNAC launches nationwide inspections of aesthetic centers in Chile Chile's SERNAC has begun nationwide inspections of aesthetic centers to ensure consumer safety, proper informed consent for invasive procedures, transparent pricing, and truthful advertising. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sernac-launches-nationwide-inspections-of-aesthetic-centers-in-chile ### 2026-08-07: SERNAC initiates aesthetic center inspections and pharmacy collusion compensations Chile's SERNAC is conducting inspections of aesthetic centers across 14 regions and distributing $45,030 compensations to families linked to the 'Control Niño Sano' program following a pharmacy collusion case. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sernac-initiates-aesthetic-center-inspections-and-pharmacy-collusion-compensations --- Cite as: Chilean consumer inspections of aesthetic centers.
