However, just on 20 18 and 10, the police in Jiaxing and Haining smashed an illegal underground factory that involved 300 million yuan and produced 270,000 boxes (pieces) of micro-plastic counterfeit drugs, including botulinum toxin, water needles, hyaluronic acid and hemp paste. It is hard to imagine what unpredictable consequences these fake drugs will have when they enter the market and are used on the faces of female friends who spend money to become beautiful.
Fake drugs, fake doctors, illegal plastic surgery institutions
While coveting our wallets, they want to ruin our faces.
China plastic surgery market is huge. According to the report of New Oxygen 20 18 White Paper on Medical Beauty Industry, the market size of medical beauty in China may reach 224.5 billion yuan, which means that hundreds of millions of people will consume medical beauty in the future. In the next 10 year, perhaps China's trillion-dollar medical beauty market will start.
According to statistics, at present, there are more than 10,000 medical beauty institutions registered in the health field in China, which meets the requirements of the Ministry of Health, that is, there are less than 3,000 plastic surgeons with complete three certificates.
Of every 30,000 people who need plastic surgery, only 1 person is a regular plastic surgeon. The market in short supply makes many doctors without any qualifications enter the market, which leads to confusion in the medical beauty market and uneven quality of medical beauty practitioners.
70% of drugs such as hyaluronic acid botulinum toxin sold in China are fakes.
According to the report in paper 20 17, there are 4-5 million injectable medical beauty products sold through formal channels in China, but the sales volume in informal market is 2-3 times that in formal market.
China Food and Drug Administration has been cautious in approving injectable medical beauty products. Up to now, only 15 hyaluronic acid products have been officially approved in China, and the approval management of botulinum toxin is stricter. So far, only the products of Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products and Aijian have been approved.
But in fact, there are hundreds of micro-plastic products popular on the "black market". Unaudited flow into the market, the effect is not ideal, the disfigurement is serious, and life safety is endangered.
The person who gave us plastic surgery may just be a master who came out of a crash course in a week.
The national regulations for plastic surgeons are that they must have three certificates, and doctors must have doctor qualification certificate, doctor practice certificate and beauty attending doctor certificate. Only with three certificates can you be qualified to provide plastic surgery services.
It takes an average of ten years to obtain these professional certificates, which requires systematic study and years of internship in regular universities. Moreover, it takes at least two years of accumulation after obtaining the certificate of practicing doctor to operate the beauty project independently, resulting in very few doctors with these three qualifications in the medical and beauty industry.
Many so-called plastic surgeons in illegal plastic surgery institutions may just be a one-week crash course and come out of the master class in January. There are also many doctors in plastic surgery institutions who became monks halfway, that is, doctors who were originally engaged in a certain surgical industry. With the market expansion of the medical and beauty industry, they switched to plastic surgeons halfway.
Beauty salons ≠ Regular medical beauty institutions, no injections.
Beauty salons are different from regular medical plastic surgery institutions. Theoretically, some beauty salons or beauty studios on the market can only engage in "non-invasive treatment", that is, "life beauty" such as skin care, makeup, eyebrow trimming and foot bath. Even seemingly simple medical beauty behaviors such as water needle and eyebrow tattoo must be completed in regular medical institutions.
These illegal medical beauty institutions cause about 40,000 medical accidents every year, causing disfigurement, directly affecting health and even endangering life.
Fake drugs, fake doctors, illegal plastic surgery institutions, and the gray areas of the medical beauty industry are actually around us all week. For the sake of safety, please choose "three rectifications", that is, regular hospitals, regular doctors and regular products. Plastic surgery has certain risks. Although the current medical means cannot completely eliminate such risks, regular hospitals, regular doctors and regular products can completely reduce such risks and make us healthy and safe.
