Summary: This work is a study on the causes that justified the creation of the new offense of causing personal injury deformity by the use of acids, alkalis, corrosive substances or similar substances and the legal implications of this modification. The study was conducted from the contrast between the new Colombian legal figure, it´s peers in the international arena, the numbers of people affected with these substances in Colombia and the criminal doctrine for personal injury that causes deformity. Some of the most important results are that the new offense punishes not only the material result (deformitydisfiguration of the victim) but also imposes a sanction for the means utilized to cause the result, however the Colombian criminal code used to sanction personal injuries solely on the basis of the result, now, this does not entail that injuries caused by this kind of means are ipso facto more harmful than the deformities caused by other type of instruments.
