Reading Time: <1 minuteIn Nagoya, illegal beauty salons are openly advertising illegal content on Hot Pepper and other sites to attract customers. Cosmetic medicine is being singled out for criticism, but it seems that beauty salons are the ones committing crimes. There are illegal beauty salons that openly advertise with obvious violations of the Medical Practitioners Act, the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act, and the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations. The magazines they publish in are also problematic. It seems that beauty salons have received many trouble consultations from the National Consumer Affairs Center, but it seems that there are also major problems occurring under the surface. Many victims of HIFU have suffered serious physical damage. They should have been cracked down on sooner. Illegal beauty salons, which have been openly advertising HIFU in the past, are attracting customers by falsely advertising that it is effective for keywords such as lower back pain, stiff shoulders, insomnia, constipation, and eye fatigue. In particular, performing treatments by passing electric current through the body is completely illegal unless you have a national medical license. Of course, if it is just healing, there is no problem, but illegal beauty salons attract customers by claiming to have therapeutic effects. We don't know what is lurking behind illegal beauty salons. In Nagoya, there are illegal businesses that are openly selling HIFU equipment despite it being illegal. It seems that the representative of this illegal business was the developer of the treatment performed by the illegal beauty salon, but the relationship between the illegal business and the illegal beauty salon is unknown. In any case, the current situation in Nagoya is frightening, with illegal businesses and illegal beauty salons openly advertising and promoting illegal content. I hope that the police will also crack down on this as a crime in violation of the Medical Practitioners Act and the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act, so that no victims will be created.
