TS EN 16844+A1

TS EN 16844+A1 is a European standard for aesthetic medicine services focused on non-surgical medical treatments. It addresses characteristics for certain aesthetic non-surgical procedures and provides a common technical framework for how these services are organised, delivered, and assessed.

In general technical terms, non-surgical aesthetic treatments are medical or device-based interventions intended to achieve appearance-related outcomes without operative surgery. This field may include injection-based procedures, superficial device treatments, or comparable methods; however, the scope of this standard is limited to the specified treatments identified by the title and abstract. It does not describe all aesthetic medicine practice, only the defined non-surgical treatment group.

How non-surgical aesthetic services are distinguished

For services of this kind, a standard is useful because it helps define a shared technical vocabulary and a consistent service boundary. Non-surgical aesthetic treatments differ from surgery in their level of tissue disruption, their procedural setting, and the way outcomes are expected to be achieved. Understanding that distinction is central to interpreting the standard’s subject matter.

This listing is the TS EN 16844+A1 edition based on EN 16844:2017+A1:2018. Although it is now withdrawn, it remains a relevant reference for the classification and terminology of aesthetic non-surgical medical treatments.
