There is also a notice from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Naturally, corporations selling this HIFU device are illegal because they encourage illegal activities. HIFU is not a safe treatment that can be performed by amateurs and is recognized as a medical procedure. People with zero medical knowledge and skills, such as estheticians, perform it and cause a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, there are corporations that encourage this crime. If you have been victimized after receiving HIFU treatment at an esthetic salon, we recommend that you report the incident to the nearest police station. Please be aware that there are also malicious businesses selling illegal equipment in the Nagoya area. There appear to be salons that purchase this HIFU equipment and perform treatments, so please be careful. Also, for esthetic salons that are not yet aware of HIFU, please be aware that HIFU treatments can only be performed at medical institutions, and that you should be careful not to get caught up in crimes committed by malicious businesses selling HIFU equipment.
