Reading Time: <1 minutehttps://news.yahoo.co.jp/pickup/6409686 Recently, there have been reports of problems with treatment at beauty clinics. There are some errors in this content, so I would like to give my personal opinion. The news article states that it is a problem with a laser, but in reality, wrinkles and sagging are rarely treated with lasers, so it is expected to be a treatment with high-frequency electrical energy. The article also mentions the word high-frequency, and I think that if it was high-frequency, a system like Thermacool would have been used to generate heat energy from a single terminal and promote collagen production in the dermis to treat sagging and wrinkles. However, the main system for treating wrinkles and sagging on the neck today is called HIFU, which is a treatment method that focuses ultrasound at a high density, generates heat, induces protein denaturation in the dermis and fascia, and lifts the skin. There are many articles on the Internet asking whether the problem was caused by HIFU, and the truth is still unknown. It says that unapproved equipment was used, but using unapproved equipment in beauty treatment is not illegal. Rather, in Japan, most beauty treatments in beauty medicine are performed with unapproved equipment, and if unapproved beauty medical devices were illegal, it would be impossible to run beauty clinics or provide beauty treatments. The current situation in cosmetic medicine in Japan is that doctors import unapproved cosmetic medical devices from overseas at their own risk and perform treatments using them. We are concerned about the reports that give the impression that it is bad to use unapproved devices, or that the police conducted a search of the hospital because of the use of unapproved devices. The problems with this case are: 1. The nurse performed the treatment. 2. The nurse was not given proper instructions or post-operative checks, and even if the treatment was performed under the supervision of a doctor, it was insufficient. It is unusual for the police to conduct a search of a medical institution for a medical accident other than a fatal accident, and it is assumed that the patient's report of the damage and criminal complaint were submitted to the police with concrete evidence, such as a medical certificate. Alternatively, it is assumed that there are other similar victims and there are multiple similar cases, or that the medical institution's response to the current patient was extremely inappropriate. In any case, I do not think that this problem is only a problem for the medical institution that was searched. We also receive a considerable number of consultations from patients who have received laser irradiation or HIFU irradiation at other clinics, which should have been performed by a doctor, and suffered burns. If there is even the slightest risk in any treatment, it should always be performed by a doctor, and I believe that import agents and manufacturers should not sell cosmetic medical devices on the assumption that a nurse will perform the treatment. We will be closely monitoring the facts of this incident so that more people can receive cosmetic medical treatment, which has many gray areas, with greater peace of mind. Since opening, I, as the director, have been responsible for all treatments at our clinic, from start to finish.
