Reading Time: <1 minuteIn Nagoya, illegal beauty salons are left unchecked even if they repeatedly promote themselves in violation of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act, the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, and the Medical Practitioners Act, because they are not arrested by the police authorities. A cosmetic surgeon engaged in inappropriate behavior during an autopsy on a donated body, causing the biggest uproar in the history of the cosmetic surgery industry, and has been heavily criticized by people in various fields, including the medical community. It is ethically unacceptable, and has caused great damage to the medical community and developed into a social problem, but it is not a criminal act. The doctor's lack of morals and failure to properly apologize for his actions, and the doctor's employer's incorrect initial response have caused the uproar to expand, lowering the image of cosmetic surgeons. It was a very sad incident. Even if an aesthetician acts in a morally unjust manner, due to their social influence, they are unlikely to be featured in the media or receive concentrated criticism from many people, even if it is a crime. Doctors are responsible and have a public interest job. In addition, a medical license requires such noble and valuable work. For this reason, if you do something unethical, you may be subject to more bashing and severe criticism than you can imagine. Estheticians do not have national qualifications and are not a public-interest job. However, the work is actually wonderful, and I believe it is an important job that heals the body and mind and supports beauty. Esthetics is a job that is originally meant to provide healing, but some beauty salons have become a money-making tool, using illegal methods to attract customers, illegal activities, and illegal cosmetic sales methods to make a profit. Just as there are cosmetic surgery clinics backed by anti-social organizations, we cannot deny the possibility that there are beauty salons backed by anti-social organizations. The problems with both cosmetic surgery and beauty salons are exactly the same.・The owner lives a flashy lifestyle and behaves in a flashy manner (rich) ・Misuse of photos and names of celebrities (a scammer's tactic) ・Illegal activities (violation of the Medical Practitioners Act, the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act, and the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations) ・Profit comes first ・Exaggeration ・False PR and undignified advertising ・Methods that imply involvement of organizing organizations such as parties and ●● conventions ・Acts that pretend to be of public interest ・No academic basis ・Unfounded treatments and techniques ・Promotion of low prices ・Tie-ups with illegal and unscrupulous businesses There are ways to tell. If you find a cosmetic surgery clinic or beauty salon that fits the above criteria, it's best to steer clear. I hope there are no more illegal beauty salons or unscrupulous cosmetic surgery clinics in Nagoya!
