Is beauty slimming a medical industry?
Generally speaking, it is still medicine. Generally speaking, beauty is divided into medical beauty and life beauty. In May 2000, the Ministry of Health issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Beauty Services, pointing out that "life beauty includes beauty knowledge consultation and guidance, skin care, beauty modification, image design and bodybuilding, etc.". Medical beauty includes double eyelid plasty, prosthesis implantation, medicine and surgery to lose weight. Life beauty service is supervised and managed by the domestic trade administrative department according to the opening standards and the "Professional Skills Appraisal Standards"; To carry out medical beauty services, we must abide by the People's Republic of China (PRC) Medical Doctor Law, the Regulations on the Administration of Medical Institutions and the Basic Standards of Medical Institutions (for Trial Implementation), and accept the supervision and management of the health administrative department. " The Measures for the Administration of Medical Beauty Services promulgated by the Ministry of Health in 2002 also clearly divided beauty into two categories: life beauty and medical beauty. By defining different beauty attributes, we can standardize the beauty market in China and prevent the occurrence of vicious accidents.

The so-called beauty of life refers to the use of makeup or general care and maintenance methods, including beauty knowledge consultation and guidance, image design, body shaping and other services. That is, the maintenance of human face and skin to prevent skin aging, on the basis of personal original modification, such as facial maintenance, neck beauty, leg beauty, makeup and so on. Life beauty has low requirements for beauticians. As long as you master the basic professional knowledge and obtain the qualification certificate recognized by the relevant departments, you can take up your post. In the early stage of the development of the beauty industry in China, it can be said that life beauty dominated the beauty market, and the service projects carried out by beauty salons, including the research and development of beauty products, were almost all around "life beauty". Because there are countless beauty projects, life beauty still accounts for the vast majority.

The so-called medical beauty refers to the repair and remodeling of human appearance and the morphology of various parts of the human body through traumatic or invasive medical technologies such as surgery, drugs and medical devices. This is also called "plastic surgery". As long as it uses invasive means to the human body, it should belong to the category of medical beauty, including double eyelid shaping, prosthesis implantation, drug and surgery to lose weight, breast augmentation and so on. Medical beauty can be said to be the product of the combination of medicine, aesthetics and beauty skills. It is a new medical discipline characterized by application, which is interwoven with a variety of clinical knowledge and some non-clinical knowledge. Beauty salons engaged in medical beauty projects must go to a certain department for practice registration and obtain the practice license of medical institutions before they can operate. At the same time, the state has strict requirements for beauticians in medical beauty salons. Only professionals with high medical knowledge and certain clinical experience can be employed.

The Measures for the Administration of Medical Beauty Services formulated by the Ministry of Health stipulates that cosmetic surgery including liposuction, breast augmentation, ear piercing, eyebrow tattooing and wrinkle removal can only be performed by cosmetic medical institutions. Because the medical beauty items listed on the signs of many beauty salons in society, such as face-lifting, breast enhancement, eyebrow tattoo, eye bags removal, mandibular beauty, double eyelids, rhinoplasty, wrinkle removal and other services, are illegal and beyond the scope of business. In fact, beauty salons are not medical institutions, and their business scope is only life beauty, that is, skin care, eyebrow trimming, foot bath and other projects. Beauty salons have no legal "identity" to provide medical beauty services at all, and should only operate life beauty hairdressing projects. Because many patients don't understand this, they are tempted by exaggerated or even false advertisements in beauty salons and choose to go to beauty salons for medical beauty. Therefore, consumers are easily deceived and even disfigured.
