"For the medical aesthetic industry, it is particularly important to formulate relevant industry standards and standardize surgical operations at present, and it is also very important to carry out medical aesthetic science publicity for the public, which is conducive to standardizing the medical aesthetic industry."
On July 7, Sun Baoshan, secretary general of the Shanghai Medical Aesthetic Quality Control Center, spoke at the lecture on "Medical Beauty Is Risky and Loving Beauty Needs to Be Cautious" held by the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission Supervision Institute. Sun Baoshan is a professor of orthopedic surgery at Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital and has been doing medical quality monitoring for nearly 20 years.
The lecture revealed that at present, among the more than 6,000 medical institutions in Shanghai, there are more than 300 medical beauty institutions, accounting for 5%. Judging from the evaluation results, Shanghai's medical beauty industry as a whole is relatively standardized.
"Self-discipline and commitment of industry institutions is only one step, and next, we will also work with various departments such as public security, market supervision bureau, and Internet information to carry out special law enforcement against the stubborn diseases existing in medical beauty practice." Lu Wei, director of the Supervision Institute of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, said.
Not all aesthetic institutions can perform general anesthesia surgery
Liu Hong, head of the supervision section of health technicians of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission Supervision Institute, said that many beauty-loving people lack knowledge of medical aesthetics, do not understand whether medical aesthetic institutions have relevant qualifications, whether it is legal and compliant to carry out certain surgeries, and many people even do not know that "beauty salons are not allowed to carry out injection surgery."
He gave a real example related to the beauty artifact "Philoja", which is widely publicized in today's society. Public information shows that there are many publicity about "Philoga", and slogans such as "the most advanced of all the current water and light needles", "anti-aging technology artifacts", "reverse muscle age" and other propaganda slogans flood the Internet, attracting many beautiful women.
"In foreign countries, Filoka is a medicine, but in China, it is only a cosmetic, which can only be used for application, not for injection." Liu Hong further said that "whitening needles" and "fat dissolving needles" are also not officially approved in China, and are not legal medical aesthetic projects, and regular law-abiding medical aesthetic institutions and doctors will not inject such products into medical patients.
At the same time, many beauty lovers don't know one thing: not all medical beauty institutions can perform general anesthesia surgery. "Medical institutions that perform general anesthesia surgery must obtain approval for the establishment of anesthesia departments." Liu Hong said.
For example, Liu Hong has no shortage of similar cases of violations in reality. An anesthesiologist at a hospital, after operating on a patient at his registered hospital, took out the remaining narcotic drugs and went to a medical beauty institution that had not approved the establishment of an anesthesiology department to perform liposuction on the patient, Ms. Ma. Ms. Ma suffered shock during the operation and was sent to the nearest comprehensive medical institution for rescue, fortunately saving her life.
"Ms. Ma is lucky, but there are many cases of deaths due to liposuction surgery that have been publicly reported by the media." Bei Wen, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission Supervision Institute, said that some beauty-loving people do not hesitate to risk their lives at the same time in many places in the body, and adverse reactions occur in the process of liposuction, and even insist on liposuction, and eventually the tragedy of death occurs.
Bevin frankly said that in some Internet platforms or medical beauty-related APP, there will be many people to introduce the function of medical beauty surgery or injection products, showing the so-called "real" cases, there are many commercial inducement factors behind it, and beauty lovers cannot trust the promotion and advertising of Internet celebrities.
Sun Baoshan also said that there are many professional terms in the publicity advertisement that confuse beauty lovers, and the same double eyelid surgery can be called differently, but the essence of the operation is the same.
Shanghai will carry out special law enforcement
How to regulate the medical aesthetic industry? The above experts all believe that the right to choose is in the hands of medical patients and beauty lovers, and the self-discipline and administrative supervision of the medical beauty industry are also indispensable.
At present, among more than 6,000 medical institutions in Shanghai, there are more than 300 medical beauty institutions, accounting for 5%, since 2017, the Health Supervision Institute has carried out quantitative grading management and evaluation of 248 medical beauty institutions in the city, and these institutions are divided into four levels of ABCD, and the evaluation results found that there are more than 10 A grades and 10 D grades. Judging from the evaluation results, Shanghai's medical beauty industry as a whole is relatively standardized.
Sun Baoshan mentioned that the current commercialization of medical beauty has brought many management problems and challenges, which need to be continuously standardized and improved. In the future, it is necessary to further improve medical aesthetic projects, carry out surgical risk ratings, and do some exploration and innovation in improving industry management and reducing medical risks.
Lu Wei, director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission Supervision Institute, said that in order to promote the healthy development of the medical beauty industry, Shanghai has made some attempts to propose an innovative model of "medical beauty ecological supervision", and will create a good medical environment through a diversified supervision system of "institutional self-management, industry self-discipline, government supervision and social supervision".
Lu Wei said that in order to improve the awareness of medical beauty institutions to practice according to law, the Shanghai Health Commission Supervision Institute carried out legal practice training for 326 social medical beauty institutions in the city in June 2020, covering health, advertising, pharmaceutical equipment, prices, medical treatment, anesthesia knowledge and other content.
On the afternoon of July 7, the Shanghai Health Commission Supervision Institute and the Shanghai Social Medical Association signed the "Shanghai Social Medical Beauty Institutions Lawful and Trustworthy Proposal" and "Self-Discipline Convention Commitment Letter" with the first batch of 14 social medical beauty institutions, and it is expected that the signing of the "Self-Discipline Convention Commitment Letter" of the city's medical beauty specialist institutions will be completed before the end of July this year.
The above documents make it clear that the medical personnel should fully understand the medical institutions and medical personnel's professional qualifications, diagnosis and treatment projects, medical beauty service items and charging standards, and if surgery, special examinations, and special treatment need to be implemented, the medical personnel should explain the risks, alternative medical solutions, etc., and obtain the consent of the medical patients. At the same time, the patient can verify with the medical staff whether the relevant drugs and medical devices meet the statutory requirements, confirm the use of prostheses, injection filling materials, and its anti-counterfeiting traceable bar code is recorded in the medical records and other relevant records, and the medical patients can obtain medical record information and bills after receiving medical beauty services.
"Self-discipline and commitment of industry institutions is only one step, and next, we will also work with various departments such as public security, market supervision bureau, and Internet information to carry out special law enforcement against the stubborn diseases existing in medical beauty practice." Lu Wei said.
Beiwen said that in response to the third-party medical beauty APP platform to publish medical advertisements or promotions, the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission and the Market Supervision Bureau will be expected to establish a positive and negative list in the next step on the basis of the 2019 survey.
