Reading Time: <1 minuteSince the beginning of this week, we have had several consultations from patients who had trouble with nurse treatments at a certain beauty clinic. The nurse diagnosed and performed the treatment. It was completely off the mark. The nurse repeatedly performed phototherapy, i.e. IPL irradiation, saying that it is effective for a condition called hereditary lichen pilaris. No explanation from the doctor... Completely ineffective. Of course. Since it is not a problem with the epidermis, IPL irradiation cannot be expected to be effective at all. MiraDry... As expected, the nurse performed the treatment. It was completely ineffective, so the treatment was repeated. Similarly, there was almost no explanation from the doctor... It seems that a counselor, a person with no medical qualifications, examined and diagnosed the patient, decided on the treatment, and the nurse performed the treatment. In this way, at beauty clinics, there are many clinics where people who call themselves counselors examine and diagnose the patient, and nurses perform the treatment without a doctor's examination. There seem to be some medical institutions without doctors. As I have mentioned many times in my blog, MiraDry is ineffective for underarm odor, breast odor, and groin odor. It would be fine if it was just ineffective, but there was a case where a nurse performed the treatment on a sensitive area, which is not an approved area, and the patient suffered a third-degree burn, which led to a serious infection and death.https://biyouhifuko.com/news/japan/515/ This was a truly tragic and preventable incident. If a counselor were to examine or diagnose, it would be a violation of the Medical Practitioners Act and a crime. Treatment by a nurse is also a criminal act if a doctor is not involved. The dark side of beauty nurses is also the dark side of beauty clinics. At our clinic, Director Suetake is always responsible for all examinations, diagnoses, and treatments. Counselors and nurses will never examine or perform treatments. Please rest assured.
