Cosmetic medical treatment as a whole is not evil. Some major cosmetic surgery clinics are committing crimes and misusing cosmetic medical treatment as a tool to make money, putting the entire cosmetic medical treatment industry at risk. Miradry armpit odor business, violation of the Medical Practitioners Act by nurses who call themselves cosmetic nurses, rip-off upselling scams, cosmetic treatments at the reception desk of clinics where doctors are not present, unqualified people who call themselves counselors, fatal accidents caused by inexperienced doctors, administration of reagents with unapproved preparations... the list goes on. It is not cosmetic medical treatment that is bad, but unscrupulous cosmetic surgery and unscrupulous cosmetic surgeons. The crimes of unscrupulous cosmetic surgery that threaten even medical institutions and doctors who are serious about cosmetic medical treatment. I would like the police to crack down on this, not the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
