Modern Express News (Correspondent Wang Pingping, Reporter Mei Shuhua) Skin care, hydrating injections, laser freckle removal... Can you distinguish between daily beauty and medical beauty? Different projects have different hidden risks. How should consumers choose the right institution? On the afternoon of April 10, 2024, the Nanjing Municipal Health Supervision Institute, the Xuanwu District Health Supervision Institute, and the Management Committee of Sipailou Campus of Southeast University jointly launched a publicity campaign with the theme of "Dancing for Healthy Youth, Blooming Beauty and Youth" to help college students avoid " Beauty Trap”.
“My mother used to like to go to beauty salons to get facials done, but I didn’t know if they were reliable or not.” Wan, a first-year graduate student, came to the scene early and wanted to learn about medical beauty related knowledge. "I'm considering getting photorejuvenation, but there is too much information online. Let's learn how to choose." Another student was also very interested in this activity. At the event, experts gave a lecture on the theme of "Regulating Medical Cosmetology Behaviors to Protect the Health Rights of Teachers and Students", introducing the current situation and development trends of the medical cosmetology industry, describing the hazards and consequences of illegal medical cosmetology practices, and reminding everyone to enhance their awareness of self-protection. Stay away from illegal medical beauty institutions and non-professionals.
Wang Zhitao, chief of the second supervision section of Xuanwu Health Prison, said that at present, the biggest problem encountered by beauty seekers is that problems arise after receiving medical beauty treatments at lifestyle beauty institutions. How to distinguish between lifestyle beauty institutions and medical beauty institutions? He introduced that medical cosmetology refers to the use of surgery, drugs, medical equipment and other traumatic or invasive medical techniques to repair and reshape a person's appearance and the shape of various parts of the human body. Simply put, it is a medical practice that breaks the skin and enters the subcutaneous tissue. For example, he said that the most common medical beauty projects include water light, laser, etc. The "immersive" small theater at the
event gave teachers and students a vivid demonstration of the "beauty trap" set up by the beauty salon. A person in a white coat was selling water-light injections to consumers. When he was about to inject, he was stopped by law enforcement officers. "There is a medical device number on it. Injecting water-light needles is a medical act. What you do is illegal!" It turns out that beauty salons only have a public place health license, and are medical beauty institutions that have a medical institution practice license or a clinic registration certificate. Only in this way can such medical treatment be carried out.
Wang Zhitao said that in the future, the Xuanwu District Health Supervision Office will further increase the supervision and inspection of medical beauty and lifestyle beauty, and severely crack down on illegal medical beauty practices. Strengthen the publicity of health laws and regulations, take effective measures to stimulate the enthusiasm of the public to consciously supervise and report, so that the standardized practice of the medical beauty industry can be deeply rooted in the minds of practitioners, and effectively safeguard everyone's health rights and interests.
