Reading Time: 2 minutesYesterday, I gave a speech and served as chair at the Japanese Society of Aesthetic Internal Medicine session at the Jiken Festival. Cosmetic medicine is currently a field that is attracting attention, but it is also a medical field that contains various problems. In particular, there are risks associated with the administration of unapproved drugs such as stem cell cultured semen, exosome drips, and diet drugs, and the existence of unscrupulous cosmetic surgery clinics, unscrupulous cosmetic surgeons, and unscrupulous companies that prioritize profit over medical care and threaten the safety of patients. As an extension of unscrupulous cosmetic surgery treatment, unscrupulous cosmetic surgery clinics that have no knowledge or morals are currently purchasing stem cell cultured semen and exosome drips at low prices from unscrupulous companies and administering them to patients to obtain high treatment fees. At Japan Cosmetic Medicine, we would like to create a place where information such as safety, knowledge of manufacturing methods, and future prospects can be shared! However, unfortunately, while the beauty clinic strategy seminar was booming, the number of participants in the corporate discussion on safety was lower than expected, which says it all. The existence of some beauty influencers who are beauty scammers, some beauty nurses who are beauty criminals, the existence of unscrupulous cosmetic surgeons, and the existence of unscrupulous companies... Their common interest is to deceive patients who are poorly informed and obtain high fees! The current situation is that many such beauty businesses are being conducted. Prioritizing economic approaches over academic approaches goes against medical morality. MiraDry armpit odor business, exosome business, unapproved diet drug business... I think the dark side of beauty is deep. I want many people to know that all the information on SNS is not true. I don't think cosmetic surgery is so easy that you can become the director of a cosmetic surgery clinic in just 34 and a half years as a cosmetic surgeon. The crimes of unscrupulous cosmetic surgeons have been exposed in weekly magazines and it seems that they are still deceiving patients using the same methods. I am worried about the future of cosmetic medicine in Japan. The Japanese Society of Aesthetic Internal Medicine will strive to provide correct information to those who practice cosmetic medicine.jaim2023.com/notice/About the 1st General Meeting of the Japanese Society of Aesthetic Internal Medicine/
