Reading Time: <1 minuteUnderarm surgery is, of course, performed by a doctor.However, recently there has been a lot of trouble caused by nurses treating armpit bugs.He uses miraDry, Beauhot, etc. as treatments for armpits other than surgery.Recently, treatments using ultrasound, such as HIFU, have become popular.The common feature of these treatments is that they all use equipment, and he uses a method in which a special probe is pressed against the affected area and irradiated.Therefore, the procedure is simple and can be treated by a nurse.However, nurses did not study medicine.Even if you study nursing, you are not an expert in dermatology, wound healing, or aesthetic medicine.Both nurses and doctors simply press a probe against the skin and irradiate it, so they are not the same.First of all, since there are individual differences, it is necessary to set detailed parameters such as output, irradiation time, range, etc. according to the condition of each individual patient, such as skin condition and treatment area. Not only do they not occur, but extremely serious skin injuries, burns, and nerve damage actually occur as medical accidents.So, why do nurses treat armpit bugs?The reason is assumed to be as follows. XNUMX: The procedure takes a long time and it is not worth it considering the doctor's fee. XNUMX: The doctor performs the surgery, but due to the reservation situation, only nurses are available. XNUMX: The procedure is a simple treatment that can be done by a nurse as it is a business operation. XNUMX. If you think about how to reduce treatment costs due to price competition, you won't be able to run a business if nurses don't perform the treatments XNUMX. Doctors don't know anything about armpit pain, so nurses There are not only risks but also legal issues associated with the treatment.Since it is a medical practice, even if it is under the supervision of a doctor, it cannot be said that there is no problem under the Medical Practitioners Act for a nurse to treat armpits.Ethically, it is absolutely unacceptable for her to have a nurse treat her armpits.We have been advising manufacturers regarding this issue for many years, but they have ignored us, and what we feared happened.This is not an armpit treatment, but a nurse used high frequency treatment for wrinkles and sagging (according to reports it was laser treatment) without the supervision of a doctor, which caused severe burns on the neck, which took six months to fully recover. A cosmetic medical problem occurred during a medical diagnosis, and a certain clinic was searched for an injury due to work-related negligence.The report included her real name and even the name of the cosmetic medical equipment. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/98c0df8670df62a988c3d9b40ea6cdbff7afabcc It is unusual for a police investigation to involve a medical institution in cases other than fatal accidents.This incident is just the tip of the iceberg, and the reality is that many troubles occur due to nurse treatments.Our hospital receives many inquiries after problems with nursing treatments.It is very unfortunate, but a business system is being established in the beauty medical industry where nurses perform treatments by lowering the unit price and attracting customers through PR.In order to avoid compromising the quality of aesthetic medicine, perhaps it is time to reconsider the gray area aesthetic medical practices performed by nurses.

~ What causes the cosmetic surgery death? Exploring the reality The horrible medical practice hidden in discounted cosmetic surgery

There is no other type of medical care where the price varies between clinics as much as cosmetic surgery and cosmetic dermatology.At a certain cosmetic surgeryDouble fenceThe surgery is 18 10,000 yen, and in certain cosmetic surgery, 9800 yen,Botox injectionOne cosmetic surgery clinic costs 1 yen, while another costs 3000 yen.What is the difference?I feel that the low-cost, low-quality cosmetic surgery business is destroying the future of cosmetic surgery. PRP therapywill be done for 3 yen.Even though the kit costs more than 3 yen... This system naturally reduces the quality of the kit to the absolute minimum and does not follow the steps that should be taken.There are cosmetic surgery clinics that use ineffective dental kits and simple blood collection tubes.Of course, you won't expect much of an effect.An even bigger risk is hidden behind the procedure.Recently, I received a treatment using a system called Fraxel 2 at a rapidly growing cosmetic surgery clinic that sells discount cosmetic treatments, and the redness, swelling, and pain that felt like a burn continued for more than two weeks, which was really painful. A patient came to our hospital for a consultation.Naturally, the patient's face has pigmentation, and the expected effect is not felt at all.I regretted getting the treatment because I was lured by a discounted price in a magazine advertisement.Surprisingly, at the cosmetic surgery clinic, nurses, not doctors, explain the procedures. Fractional laserIt is one of the treatments that involves some risks in cosmetic dermatology, as it can cause downtime.Even if under the supervision of a doctor, a person without medical qualifications may provide treatment.Fractional laserIt is not permitted under the Medical Practitioners Act to irradiate patients with radiation.A clear violation of the Medical Practitioners Act.This is a terrible act devised to attract customers by discounting treatment costs.When I contacted the sales representative regarding this procedure and equipment, he told me to have the procedure performed by a doctor if possible.The answer is...When I asked if it was a risky treatment that should definitely be performed by a doctor rather than by him, the person in charge probably thought it was a bad idea...well, that's right.I slurred my words. Fractional laserIt is absolutely impossible for a nurse to be able to administer the correct irradiation.This is because it is a treatment that should be performed while making a diagnosis, and then changing the setting power, irradiation density, and path after observing the reaction of the skin.No nurse is capable of properly diagnosing skin reactions and operating the treatment system.Once the equipment sells, it's up to you how you use it and who uses it.Am I the only one who thinks it's too cruel?In order to avoid compromising the quality of aesthetic medicine at the clinic, it is necessary for the specialist to take responsibility and carefully perform the treatment while examining the patient.This limits the number of patients we can treat in one day.Naturally, it is unavoidable that beauty treatment costs will be a certain amount due to management reasons.Many advertisements with flashy discounts have been published in local monthly magazines, but it is our clinic's policy to never carry out similar advertisements or PRs. I think you should be careful.As local medical care is collapsing, the time has come for the government and the media to issue a strong warning against the influx of doctors into cosmetic medicine, who perform low-quality cosmetic treatments in order to earn high fees based on their inexperience. I think so.Recently, we have seen a sudden increase in the number of consultations from patients who are suffering from problems that have occurred due to discounted beauty treatments.I hope that patients who read this column will take the time to think carefully before undergoing cosmetic treatment.Healthcare should not be dominated by discounts.We believe that medical care should continue to provide patients with the same level of service that they can provide to their own family.

~ Causes of cosmetic surgery deaths? Explore the reality. Terrible medical practice hidden in discounted cosmetic surgery

! ! ! Emergency column! ! ! The other day, various media outlets reported on a fatal accident at S Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, a major cosmetic surgery chain.There were two fatal accidents last year, and S Cosmetic Surgery has already had many fatal accidents due to cosmetic surgery.We are a well-known clinic group in the industry that performs discount cosmetic surgery by completely reducing the quality of manualized medical care.They never hire experienced cosmetic surgeons, and they are also famous for not holding any academic study sessions or exchanging opinions.It is also a cosmetic surgery clinic that is famous for performing extremely sloppy surgeries.Of course, there are very few cases in which doctors belonging to this cosmetic surgery group present or participate in academic conferences.This is because it would be a disadvantage to this cosmetic surgery group to never learn or introduce legitimate cosmetic surgery.In other words, his low-cost, low-quality, profit-earning business model has been created in which the company pursues only the benefits for management, not the benefits for patients.Doctors from this cosmetic surgery clinic group who have opened their own cosmetic surgery clinics often operate their cosmetic surgery clinics using similar customer attraction methods and surgical methods.Not only patients who have undergone surgery at S Cosmetic Surgery, but also many patients who have undergone surgery by S Cosmetic Surgery doctors and come to me with extremely unnatural conditions, come to me for correction. A self-proclaimed cosmetic surgery specialist who performs similar cosmetic surgery procedures, recognizing that what he has learned and experienced at S Cosmetic Surgery is the best.It seems that there are some doctors who call themselves charismatic.If you perform liposuction surgery on 2009 people, are all XNUMX people really satisfied? What is the level of your cosmetic surgery experience compared to the current level of cosmetic surgery?Cutting corners to reduce costs poses a huge risk for patients in addition to financial benefits. S Cosmetic Surgery repeatedly advertises with the best technology and advertisements, but doctors with the best technology refuse solid aftercare at extremely low surgery fees and only provide the lowest priced medical materials. We do not perform any cosmetic treatments that we employ.Neither the Japanese Society of Cosmetic Surgery nor the Japan Association of Cosmetic Surgery Physicians has ever evaluated this cosmetic surgery clinic as having the best technology. My cosmetic surgeon friends have also experienced many patients who had major problems at the S Cosmetic Surgery Clinic and had to undergo corrections.A XNUMX-year-old woman died due to liposuction.This is an incident that should be taken seriously. Is it really legitimate to recommend liposuction to someone as old as XNUMX?Is it justified to ignore aftercare?Were the necessary tests such as blood tests and electrocardiograph tests performed before the surgery?Was the surgery performed appropriately under the strict supervision of an experienced doctor? I feel like I'll never get a satisfactory answer from S Cosmetic Surgery. In addition to S Cosmetic Surgery, a major accident occurred in XNUMX at a cosmetic surgery group in the Kanto area that sells discounts.The accident appears to have occurred due to the lack of a cosmetic surgery specialist or instructor, who did flashy advertising to attract customers and performed crude anesthesia.Are there any benefits to discount medical care?Do patients really understand the risks?It is a fact that many of the medical accidents caused by cosmetic surgery have occurred at cosmetic surgery clinics where the quality of medical care has declined due to price competition.There may be a surprising number and content hidden in the actual number of fatal accidents at cosmetic surgery clinics that offer discounted, low-cost cosmetic surgery, including S Cosmetic Surgery Clinic.The future development of cosmetic surgery will require us, cosmetic surgery specialists, to once again carefully assess the quality of medical care and provide reassuring medical care from the patient's perspective, now more than ever.As a cosmetic surgeon, you must have the humility to refrain from performing surgery unless you have the proper skills, knowledge, experience, and the ability to reliably deal with any problems that may arise.I hope that the perception that cosmetic surgery is scary, that it is an outrageous medical practice, and that cosmetic surgery is anti-social medicine will not spread.

Aesthetic surgeon's ability and care of cosmetic surgery suture wound

Cosmetic surgeons are not professionals just because they are good at cosmetic surgery.It is also essential to work on how to properly heal suture wounds caused by cosmetic surgery.This is the so-called final finishing touch.A person who specializes in suturing without leaving any scars should be the most professional of all surgeons.However, do most cosmetic surgeons really pay close attention to their patients' scars?Some cosmetic surgeons believe that fine suturing will make the suture wound clean.There are some areas that should not be sutured.If the sutures are too small, the blood circulation in the suture wound will deteriorate, causing the suture site to open and potentially staining the scar.After the surgery, some cosmetic surgeons carefully disinfect the sutured wounds.Disinfection is poisonous to the wound and should never be performed on sutured wounds.This behavior is common among self-proclaimed cosmetic surgeons who have transferred from non-surgical departments such as internal medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, and dermatology.Disinfecting sutures may open the wound and significantly delay healing.An even worse practice is to apply gauze or sofratulle directly to the suture wound.The suture wound dries and healing is significantly delayed.What's more, when you remove the gauze or sofratulle, there is an increased risk of bleeding, pain, and opening of the wound.Furthermore, a cosmetic surgeon applies steroid cream to the sutured wound.Creams contain irritating substances called surfactants, which will definitely make the wound worse.A cosmetic surgeon uses dissolvable sutures to stop the process.This is an impossible act.Especially, you don't have to come for phimosis surgery anymore!This is being done at a medical institution that claims that there is no need to go to the hospital.Dissolvable sutures do not require removal.However, if this thread remains in the wound, it will definitely cause inflammation to the surrounding skin and the suture wound will become dirty.This is a suture material that a cosmetic surgeon with common sense knowledge and morals would never use.There are many patients who are worried about the unsightly sutures left after cosmetic surgery.There are some cosmetic surgeons who have no knowledge of wound care, and even if they do have the knowledge, they do not dare to carry out the procedure due to the loss of time and cost.Patients who pay expensive cosmetic surgery fees have the right to receive the highest level of suture wound care, but it seems that in many cases patients do not pay attention to the suture wounds. .Many new dressings are now available that dramatically improve wound healing.No bathing restrictions are required.Please do not take a bath for one week after surgery.A cosmetic surgeon says something outrageous. The suture wound will become epithelialized within XNUMX hours, so you can take a normal bath from the third day.Cleaning the wound in the shower will remove dirt and reduce the risk of infection.I have never seen a case where an infection was caused by taking a bath.Be careful if there is a cosmetic surgeon who disinfects the suture wound, directly covers the suture wound with gauze, uses Sofratulle, or restricts bathing for a long period of time.You may have to protect the suture wound yourself.Surgical scars vary tremendously depending on the threads used, covering materials, treatment methods, etc.I would like patients undergoing surgery to be aware of this care for suture wounds. From XNUMX years of experience as a cosmetic surgeonProper suture wound careI would like to continue to serve in the future. https://www.sakae-clinic.com/wound/index.html

Scared Kramer patient

Cosmetic surgery clinics must also deal with aggressive and persistent complaints from unreasonable complainers.A claimer may initially intend to receive a free beauty treatment and file a complaint after the treatment, or he may change his mind midway through and make unreasonable demands to the medical institution and demand a refund of the treatment costs.In any case, it seems that these types of complainers often request returns and refunds for products that have been extensively used, even at stores other than medical institutions.Both hotels and department stores have complaint countermeasure manuals.This is a case where even the slightest mistake is blamed on the victim and the accommodation fee is waived or compensation is requested.Unfortunately, in a private clinic like ours, it is absolutely impossible for a patient to be treated as a complainer from the beginning, so we have not taken sufficient measures and have fallen prey to complainers. .There are actually complaints that specifically target people in the medical field.Since the stain cannot be completely removed by treatment, please refund the treatment fee in full.There was a patient who made this persistent request.As for the treatment cost, even though he received the treatment at a discounted campaign price, did he make a planned complaint asking for a refund after the treatment?Makes me suspect. They say something outrageous: ``Even though I received counseling that said the stains would be completely removed, the stains still aren't coming off!''First of all, as a doctor, I cannot guarantee that the stain will be completely removed.This is because there are some stains like melasma that are extremely difficult to eliminate and can only be controlled.In addition, there are many cases where just thinning the area is enough to be effective.There are regular complainers who make aggressive complaints about even the slightest remaining stains.They unilaterally insist on things that are convenient for them, such as the staff's poor response, lack of explanation, too high costs, or the fact that what they are saying is wrong.Some patients even make threatening complaints.Up until now, I had thought that I would have to accept a refund due to the risk of having to spend time with such unreasonable patients, but as a medical institution, I would like to provide a thorough explanation and provide materials. Therefore, we will never succumb to unreasonable complaints as long as we provide treatments that are currently considered effective by medical science and there are no problems.When we talk about medical troubles, we often talk about mistakes and negligence on the part of medical institutions and doctors, but it is also true that there are patients known as complainers who have an abnormally sticky temperament.There was a case in the past where a doctor I knew had forged a medical certificate and asked for a refund.When we informed the clinic's lawyer that we would be filing criminal charges against the doctor who submitted the fake medical certificate, the clinic's attitude completely changed and the unreasonable demands were no longer made.First of all, we will treat the complainer with hospitality and explain re-treatment options that are acceptable to them and give them priority, but if they repeatedly make unreasonable demands or act in a way that could be considered threatening, we regret that they will not be able to comply legally. We must take appropriate action.Doctors have a duty to guarantee and protect the health and safety of their patients, but I have learned from actual cases that they also have to protect themselves from the fear of complaints.It is unfortunate that medical institutions need to deal with complaints so that they do not spend so much time dealing with such complaints that they neglect the medical care of other patients.

Devil cosmetics

There are cosmetic manufacturers that combine all the trendy ingredients into their products.Among them, be careful about cosmetics containing hydroquinone.At the clinic's affiliated companies, patients sometimes wonder why they don't add hydroquinone, which is highly effective against age spots.Doctor's cosmeticsFrequently asked questions by users.The reason is simple.Hydroquinone should be treated as a pharmaceutical product, as it is easily oxidized and the safety of its inclusion in cosmetics has not been reliably confirmed.Hydroquinone is XNUMX times more effective than arbutin (in vitro), and I think there are some people who use it without paying attention to its safety, because the topic is all about its effectiveness.In the past, its use in cosmetics was prohibited in Japan, so it was only used sparingly by some dermatologists to treat age spots.It is a very unstable substance, and if it is simply dissolved in water, it will quickly oxidize and turn brown.When added to cream, it turns pink, so it is a raw material that requires difficulty in ensuring its stability.The reason it was originally banned in Japan was because none of the manufacturers submitted safety data to the Ministry of Health and Welfare.However, after the relaxation of cosmetic regulations in XNUMX, it became possible for companies to use products other than pharmaceutical ingredients and some prohibited ingredients even without safety data, and this led to the emergence of hydroquinone cosmetics.However, this does not mean that cosmetic manufacturers have confirmed their safety.Naturally, it is highly toxic, so many countries have regulations against hydroquinone, and in the United States, it is written on cosmetics that you should stop using it if it does not work after XNUMX months.In Europe, where cosmetics regulations are progressing as well as in Japan, hydroquinone has been designated as a prohibited ingredient and its import from overseas is blocked.In Japan, the situation is very ambiguous, and there are no warnings about hydroquinone in cosmetics, nor is it prohibited, so it is left unchecked.If hydroquinone is used under the supervision of a specialist, the specialist will make an objective judgment and advise you to stop using it, but when it is added to cosmetics, there are no warnings like in American cosmetics. Isn't it true that we keep using it forever?In other words, there is definitely a problem with using oxidized hydroquinone in cosmetics.This is the reason why major cosmetic manufacturers are refraining from adding ingredients.Hydroquinone becomes highly toxic when oxidized, so it can only be used as a product from a company that places great emphasis on stability when creating cosmetics.Rather, hydroquinone should be treated as a medicine to be used under the prescription of a doctor.By the way, the whitening effect of hydroquinone is achieved by suppressing the action of tyrosinase and preventing small melanins from sticking together and forming large melanins (preventing melanin polymerization).Unfortunately, there is a difference between the amount of hydroquinone that is effective (whitening) and the amount that causes side effects (irritation), so although it is certainly powerful, it is also a burden on cells and is not included in general cosmetics. there is no.Is it no surprise that it is banned in Europe?It appears that stricter regulations are being considered in the United States as well.I want all women to acquire solid knowledge about cosmetics so that they don't fall prey to companies that chase trends that prioritize profit and ignore safety.

Nagoya's unscrupulous cosmetic surgeon who was arrested and went bankrupt

Graduated from the former Imperial University School of Medicine. Became a cosmetic surgeon with no experience. Arrested for violating the Medical Practitioners Act, suspended from practicing medicine, filed for bankruptcy. In XNUMX, an unscrupulous cosmetic surgeon was arrested in Nagoya for violating the Medical Practitioners Act, went bankrupt, and disappeared. did.Dr. S, XNUMX years old at the time, graduated from the former Imperial University School of Medicine and was a lecturer in thoracic surgery at a private medical school in Aichi Prefecture.He started a cosmetic surgery clinic without any training or experience because cosmetic surgery is lucrative.As a thoracic surgeon, I became a cosmetic surgeon, so I can perform any surgery easily and successfully!This PR was his selling point.In the waiting room, his medical doctorate certificate and former Imperial University diploma were proudly displayed.At university, I left clinical work and was solely responsible for animal experiments, so I almost never did any clinical work until right before I opened my practice.My pride was extremely high, and since I was a graduate of the former Imperial University and was in charge of cosmetic surgery, he believed that any surgery would be easy for him, so I performed breast augmentation surgery for the first time in my life while referring to a book. .However, the patient started with local anesthesia, but as the patient complained of pain, the amount increased rapidly, and the patient went into shock due to local anesthesia poisoning.He did not recover and was transferred by ambulance to the Japan Red Cross Hospital.He remained unconscious for several days.He barely survived, but the damage to his brain left him with amnesia.Later on, I was able to hear about the terrifying incident in detail from the staff who worked under Dr. S.A doctor with common sense would have gotten discouraged at this point and performed the surgery carefully, but Dr. S, who always begins the surgery under the influence of alcohol, convinces those around him that the reason there was no fatal accident was because of my good skills. His haphazard surgery accelerated even more.All failures and troubles are the patient's fault.Your skin rotted because you moved, and it happened because you weren't resting.It seems that I was a veteran thoracic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon, so it was impossible for me to make a mistake, so I yelled at the patient in a way that made them fearful, and dismissed the medical mistake.In addition, Dr. S had a friend of his who worked at the real estate company he employed as an office manager act as a fake doctor to perform medical treatment.When he went to Hawaii for fun, he was arrested for causing trouble by causing the office manager to perform a medical procedure, which was widely reported as a front page article in the local newspaper.Surprisingly, even after this, he continued to perform medical procedures and cause more victims.A large number of patients who had been harmed visited my clinic after Dr. S went bankrupt and went missing.A female patient had a mole on her nose gouged out with a scalpel, leaving it in a pitiful, depressed state, and a female patient suffering from condylomata, a sexually transmitted disease, whose genitals were brutally chopped up with an electric scalpel. A young female patient was suffering from armpit surgery, where the skin was scraped too much, resulting in necrosis and keloid-like scars, making it difficult to lift her upper arm.Many young female patients were victims of Dr. S. Dr. S's evil deeds were well known in Nagoya.He had a strong sense of elitism as a doctor of medicine, a graduate of the former Imperial University, a thoracic surgeon, and a university lecturer, and did not seem to want to listen to the opinions of others.It was later revealed that he had resigned from the university due to problems related to his relationship with women and surgery. Needless to say, the incident caused by Dr. S caused great harm to not only the patients but also university officials and doctors working part-time at this clinic.An incident very similar to that of Dr. S, who was arrested in Yokohama last year, had already occurred in Nagoya more than XNUMX years ago.This incident served as a lesson that just because he graduated from a famous university, because he is a doctor of medicine, because he is a confident doctor, he does not necessarily have the qualifications to be a cosmetic surgeon.Now that his suspension from practicing medicine has been lifted, Dr. S may be using his scalpel as a cosmetic surgeon somewhere.

Reports of troubles and accidents of successive cosmetic surgery

Complaints and troubles related to cosmetic surgery that were not previously publicized have recently become widely covered in the media.Unlike medical malpractice, there are many problems caused by unfair claims for treatment costs.This is what has been reported recently.There has been a series of troubles involving medical institutions that have entered into unfair credit agreements for hair removal and breast implants.The Installment Sales Act allows customers to default on payments to credit sales companies if there is a defect in the product or service, but this appears to be because it does not apply to medical practices.On the XNUMXth, lawyers will conduct their first dedicated ``XNUMX number for high-cost cosmetic medical treatment''. ``I ordered phimosis surgery because it was advertised as XNUMX yen, but at the time of the surgery I was told that it would cost XNUMX to XNUMX million yen, and a credit contract was already prepared.'' ``I saw the advertisement saying XNUMX yen. When I consulted about double eyelid surgery at a clinic, the patient was persuaded for two hours to sign a contract for XNUMX million yen, and after the surgery, my eyelids were swollen.'' The Daini Tokyo Bar Association's Consumer Consultation Service receives such medical loan consultation calls every month. It takes XNUMX-XNUMX bottles.Similar calls are also being received at medical consultation centers.According to the National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan, there were XNUMX complaints and consultations regarding aesthetic medicine in fiscal XNUMX, an increase of XNUMX times over three years.Contracts and cancellations accounted for nearly XNUMX% of the total.When it comes to beauty salons, profit-oriented salons that deviate from their core business end up damaging the industry's image, and the same goes for cosmetic surgery.It is also necessary to thoroughly drain the pus to cleanse the industry.I would like the government to crack down on it strictly.

Violation of esthetic doctor law

Lately, I've been seeing reports of managers and staff being arrested for violating the Medical Practitioners Act at beauty salons.In beauty salons, medical-like practices may be carried out openly in a so-called black box.In other words, the closer the practice is to medical-like activities, the higher the profits will be.Since it is not possible to expect a large profit from the original skin care and healing treatments, it is expected that they will violate the Medical Practitioners Act and engage in illegal activities such as photo hair removal, mole removal, and stain removal.People without expertise or qualifications do not understand the risks.They also tend to over-advertise and perform treatments because they have nothing to lose.Unfortunately, there is no national qualification for estheticians, so from today onwards I can start working as an esthetician right away.In the past, hair removal required advanced knowledge and skills, but now, with the advent of optical hair removal equipment, anyone can easily perform the procedure.However, the risk of burns increases, and incorrect settings can cause problems such as burns and pigmentation.There are also patients who come to my clinic for treatment after suffering from severe burns caused by hair removal at beauty salons.I'm not denying esthetic treatments, but society cannot exist without obeying the law.The reality of major beauty salon chains that pursue only profit is also horrifying.Estheticians compete against customers' sales based on bar graphs to raise prices, and forceful solicitations are made through talk that could almost be interpreted as intimidation.Use campaigns and trials to lure customers into signing contracts for expensive courses.This is a special type of business negotiation and technique.The other day, listed beauty salon company La Parle was suspended from business.It appears that this beauty salon was also using highly forceful and fraudulent methods to increase sales.It was an incident and report that further tarnished the image of the industry.What I cannot forgive is an esthetician who takes advantage of the psychology of women who want to improve themselves and uses esthetics as a tool to make money, or who recommends esthetics by lying that there are risks in cosmetic surgery or cosmetic dermatology treatments. There are many.We have also confirmed the existence of manuals that falsely explain to customers that hair removal in cosmetic surgery is painful, cause many troubles, and carry great risks, and try to convince customers to sign a contract by emphasizing the safety and convenience of beauty treatments.This manual contained content that could be considered defamatory of cosmetic surgeons.If cosmetic surgeons across the country saw this manual, I think they would be very angry about aesthetics.There is no pride or elegance as an esthetician, and the reality is that they are using esthetics as a cover to make money.I hope that the authorities will strictly crack down on this and the industry will return to normal.The Medical Practitioners Act prohibits anyone other than a doctor from removing hair by applying powerful light or lasers to the hair roots.

Cosmetic surgery treatment by a fake doctor

I recently saw a newspaper article about a Korean woman being arrested for injecting anti-wrinkle medicine without a license, in violation of the Medical Practitioners Act.How did this fake doctor get you cosmetic surgery?There was a patient of mine who had a very difficult time.An acquaintance told me that a famous cosmetic surgeon from South Korea would come to Japan and perform a special nose surgery, so I underwent the rhinoplasty at home without hearing any specific explanations or surgical procedures.Immediately after that, a foreign object was inserted into her nose, which turned red and swollen, leaving her in a miserable condition.Since I was having a medical appointment in Akasaka, I asked a friend of mine, a cosmetic surgeon, to perform the corrective surgery right away.A strange object had been inserted into his nose.A large, off-the-shelf prosthesis had been inserted haphazardly and had become inflamed and infected.Fortunately, we were able to deal with the problem early, and the incident did not go away, but it appears that this was the procedure performed on the arrested Korean woman.It seems that she thought it was dangerous because she was flooded with complaints about cosmetic surgery, so she changed to injections such as Botox and made a lot of money.Below is the article about the arrest. <Article> The Metropolitan Police Department arrested Korean esthetician Choi Bok-rye (XNUMX) on suspicion of violating the Medical Practitioners Act (practicing medicine without a license) for injecting a woman with a drug to remove facial wrinkles without a medical license. I found out that I was doing it.The anti-wrinkle drug used Clostridium botulinum toxin, which has caused deaths due to side effects overseas.Because it has not been approved for cosmetic surgery in Japan, it is difficult for anyone other than a doctor to obtain it, and the Organized Crime Control Division XNUMX is investigating ways to obtain the drug.According to the investigation, from March to October last year, Choi temporarily paralyzed the nerves and relaxed the muscles of five customers, including a Korean woman, at his home in Chiba's Chuo Ward to remove wrinkles from their faces. He is suspected of engaging in medical practice without a license, including injecting drugs containing Clostridium botulinum toxin, which has the effect of causing death.Suspect Choi came to Japan in XNUMX, and from around XNUMX, she had been performing cosmetic surgery on Koreans at her home. "I was taught this," she said in a statement.Last November, she opened a beauty salon in the same city, but it closed after about a month due to lack of customers.Choi was arrested on the XNUMXth of last month on suspicion of violating the Waste Disposal Act for disposing of empty injection drug bottles and other items at a garbage dump, but around XNUMX used hypodermic needles were discovered in the garbage. The department believes there are hundreds of women who practiced medicine without qualifications and are investigating.
