Medical organizations in Italy, including Agorà and the Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine (Sime), have launched initiatives to promote safety standards and professional rigor in aesthetic medicine. These efforts include the establishment of the first National Day for Safety in Aesthetic Medicine to increase public awareness and prevent clinical risk.

To protect patients, Agorà introduced a ten-rule guide for informed decision-making and a free help desk for inquiries regarding products such as botulinum toxin. Experts from Sime have also issued warnings regarding the influence of social media, advising patients to prioritize scientific evidence and qualified medical professionals over online trends or commercial proposals.

The movement culminated in the 28th Agorà International Aesthetic Medicine Congress in Milan, which featured hundreds of scientific contributions from international speakers. During the event, leadership emphasized that medical decisions must be based on scientific data and that patient protection relies on the ability to distinguish medical consultations from commercial offers.
