The quality of practitioners is low, and false advertising is prevalent.
The growing demand for micropigmentation and cosmetic surgery has given rise to a large number of unqualified small workshops. Behind the industry's explosion, some problems need to be solved.
The court's report cites four major disruptions in the current market: unqualified medical institutions, low-quality practitioners, prevalence of false advertising, and irregularities in medical supplies.
Related organizations recently released the "2017 medical beauty industry white paper" shows that in 2017, China's medical beauty consumer population with 2016 year-on-year growth of up to 42%, much higher than the global growth rate of 7%, China has become the world's fastest growing country of medical beauty.
This speed also brings both opportunities and challenges to practitioners in the medical aesthetic industry, with limited resources for doctors and a training rate that cannot keep up with demand, as well as a rampant "black market" and "black doctors" who train for five days without a medical license.
Different from traditional cosmetic treatments, medical cosmetic treatments are risky due to their invasive and traumatic nature. Some informal clinics, beauty salons and nail salons that do not meet the basic standards for medical institutions are emboldened to carry out medical beauty services. Most of these institutions have not obtained approval, have poor hardware, reuse equipment many times and lack rigorous procedures, which can easily lead to infectious diseases and cross-infections.
Expanded InformationChina's medical beauty industry scale has been maintaining rapid growth, with a growth rate of more than 40%, and the scale is also far more than 100 billion. In this context, the rapid development of medical beauty organizations, in the "barbaric growth" state, rent a store to start dry, qualifications and so on have become a cloud. Driven by profiteering, illegal publicity, illegal practice of medicine and other industry irregularities are widespread, is the infringement of consumer rights and interests of the hardest-hit areas.
The rapid development but very immature medical beauty industry every once in a while always have to come out of the "big news", plastic surgery failure to death, doctor training three to five days on the job and other news has long been unfamiliar, not to mention the "blood wash" beauty such as the gimmick of high-tech, new technology, and so on. The new technology, high-tech gimmick to cheat people's illegal events.
The reason, on the one hand, is that medical beauty in our country has not yet matured, the operator's self-discipline and consumer awareness of self-protection are insufficient, but fundamentally still the authorities in charge of the supervision is not enough, the punishment policy is not clear, the implementation of the limited reasons.
To put it mildly, for the chaos of the medical beauty industry, the relevant government departments are not unmanaged, and not without vigorous rectification. Looking through history, there are quite a few documents and actions for the medical beauty industry. 2017 and 2018, the National Health Planning Commission and other seven departments have carried out special actions to combat illegal medical beauty, to curb the chaos in the medical beauty market.
