Reading Time: <1 minuteThere is a beauty salon in Nagoya that advertises its treatments on Hot Pepper and SNS, claiming that it is effective for lower back pain, headaches, eye fatigue, and insomnia, attracting customers and providing treatments. The treatment is called Energy Therapy, and it is advertised as treating or caring for various diseases by passing an electric current through the body. There are several similar organizations, but even if passing an electric current through the body is not illegal, I think it is extremely dangerous for estheticians who are ignorant of the physiology and anatomy of the body to perform it. It may cause damage to clients with heart disease, infections, malignant tumors, various circulatory diseases, skin diseases, or those taking medication. Moreover, if it is performed for the purpose of treatment, the risk increases greatly. Originally, the purpose of esthetics was to heal the mind and body and care for the skin, but as seen in the use of HIFU and IPL at esthetics, which caused major troubles and physical damage, the law and government are having difficulty regulating it, and the damage is spreading. Especially in profit-oriented esthetics, the safety of clients seems to be ignored. Energy Therapy, Energy Therapy, Hyper Energy. The word "energy" in this case seems to refer to electric current, but the strength of the current, its specific effects on the body, and side effects have not been considered at all. I have repeatedly warned about this on my blog, but it may be illegal. Saranghe, a corporation that sells HIFU to beauty salons. SALANJEE | SALANJEE
They are ignoring notifications from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and are still encouraging violations of the Medical Practitioners Act by selling HIFU equipment for beauty salons.
HIFU treatment by non-doctors violates the Medical Practitioners Act...Notification from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare
The representative of this company started Energy ●●●●, which passes electric current through the body, and it seems that a school of this company has started an organization and is running an academy, salon, etc., but even doctors hesitate to do it. I think it is common sense that treatments that pass electric current through the body should be performed under the supervision of a specialist, or by someone with a national license such as an acupuncturist, judo therapist, or physical therapist who has a minimum level of medical knowledge. I have repeatedly told the representative and other people involved to stop using painful techniques that pass electric currents, by naming the disease and telling clients that it will cure them, but they have ignored me. It seems that the organization was selling meaningless creams to salons that claim to pass electric currents well. The situation of anything goes at beauty salons continues to this day. There are also cases where the money earned from attracting customers through treatments that could cause such problems is used to brag about the flashy lifestyle and work of beauty salon owners on social media, which is ethically questionable. Cosmetic medicine also has its problems, but I would like the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare as well as the police to crack down on treatments and equipment that go beyond medical care at beauty salons so that victims do not become victims. Just as serious damage has been caused to the body by HIFU treatments at beauty salons, I hope that no damage will occur from treatments that pass electric currents through the body at unregulated, profit-oriented beauty salons. Some beauty salons that pass electric currents through the body have previously advertised and carried out HIFU treatments on a large scale. I would like the competent authorities to crack down on exaggerated advertising and PR activities that deceive those who are not well informed. If you have read this blog, please receive treatment and care at a medical institution with a specialist doctor, not at a beauty salon like this. It is covered by insurance, and you should be able to receive safe and effective treatment that is inexpensive and has evidence.
