The Complications in Medical Aesthetics Collaborative (CMAC) is a nonprofit organization established to promote best patient outcomes through educating clinicians in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of complications that can arise following nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. The organization is a global community sharing information, learning, experience, and data to promote best practices. There is no reliable data on the risk or incidence of acute infection following a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure, but it is considered to be a rare complication. This article explores the evidence base for precautions and best practice standards, including an examination of the rational for standard aftercare advice and guidance on prevention, diagnosis, and management protocols.
