A influência do cortisol e do perfil glicêmico na segurança e eficácia de tratamentos estéticos em pacientes com diabetes tipo 2

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Aesthetic Biomedicine has evolved, integrating health and aesthetics and using laboratory tests, such as blood glucose and cortisol, as important allies in aesthetic treatments, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). These tests help prevent complications and improve aesthetic results, promoting a more scientific approach. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the interrelationship between cortisol, glycemic profile and aesthetic treatments in type 2 diabetic patients, in order to evaluate their influence on the health and safety of these procedures. METHODOLOGY: A literature review was carried out in academic databases, such as PubMed, Consensus and Google Scholar, covering articles published between 2019 and 2024. Studies in Portuguese, English, Spanish and Iraqi using terms such as "aesthetics", "glycemic profile" and "cortisol" were included. RESULTS: The results highlight the importance of cortisol and blood glucose tests in aesthetic practice, especially in diabetic patients. Studies indicate that high cortisol levels are associated with insulin resistance and increased blood glucose, which can complicate aesthetic treatments. Proper screening using these tests reduces risks and improves the safety of procedures. CONCLUSION or FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Glycemic control and cortisol levels are essential for the safety and efficacy of aesthetic treatments in patients with DM2. Individualizing treatments based on laboratory tests reduces the incidence of complications, promoting safer and more effective aesthetic and health results.
