China Consumers Association releases a reminder for underage medical beauty consumption: rational view of medical beauty demand, cautious choice of consumption

2023-08-08

The reporter learned from the China Consumers Association that on the 8th, it issued a warning on the consumption of medical beauty for minors in the summer medical beauty market. The relevant person in charge of the China Consumers Association stated that in recent years, the popularity of the medical beauty industry has not decreased, and negative social and cultural impacts such as "appearance anxiety" have deepened. Medical beauty is no longer just a popular choice for "mature" people, and more and more minors are also deeply involved. In this regard, the China Consumers Association reminds parents and underage consumers to rationally view medical beauty needs, improve risk prevention awareness, and carefully choose medical beauty consumption. For the consumption of medical beauty by minors, the China Consumers Association reminds parents and minors to remember five principles: first, to have a rational view of the demand for medical beauty. Due to the limited social experience of minors, they are prone to believe the exaggerated promotion of surgical results by some businesses. Consumers should have a rational view of the effectiveness of medical beauty, and should not ignore the risks. They should not blindly seek beauty or blindly imitate celebrity internet celebrities for impulsive consumption, which may lead to lifelong regret. The second is to fully understand risks and hazards. Minors are in the stage of physical development, and their physical development, such as bones and facial features, has not yet been finalized. However, medical aesthetic surgery may cause trauma and external material implantation, which may affect the normal development of minors in the future and even endanger their physical health. The gains and losses outweigh the losses, so it is necessary to be cautious. The third option is to choose a legitimate medical institution and strictly follow medical advice. Parents and underage consumers must choose a formal medical beauty institution with a medical practice license issued by the National Health Commission, or a qualified tertiary hospital. At the same time, it is important to carefully check whether the attending physician has relevant qualifications and has surgical experience in the project. Medical institutions and personnel can search on the official website of the National Health Commission. In addition, underage consumers should truthfully report their age when seeking medical treatment, and follow the professional evaluation and reasonable suggestions provided by the attending physician from the perspective of physical health and normal development. According to the "Management Measures for Medical Beauty Services", "Without the consent of the guardian, medical beauty projects shall not be implemented for individuals without or with limited capacity. It is particularly important to note that surgeries such as rhinoplasty, liposuction, and bone grinding that alter the bone structure of the human body can only be performed in adulthood. The fourth is to have a comprehensive understanding of the project content and risks, and be vigilant against pitfalls. Parents and underage consumers should carefully review the diagnosis and treatment plan, contract content, and fee details before surgery, and communicate with the attending physician in detail based on their objective needs and physical development, fully understanding the various contents, risks, and contraindications of the project. In addition, some irregular medical institutions use marketing gimmicks such as "affordable medical beauty" and "1-yuan medical beauty experience" to attract underage consumers to "enter", promote various projects and products, and induce them to use loan platforms for loans or installment payments. Consumers should not blindly listen to the words of such medical institutions, and must make objective and rational decisions. Fifth, properly retain consumption vouchers and promptly safeguard rights. If parents and underage consumers encounter issues of damage to their rights and interests, they should promptly keep consumption vouchers and evidence materials, negotiate with medical beauty operators to resolve the issue, or file complaints with consumer associations or relevant administrative departments to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law. At the same time, the China Consumers Association also calls on social platforms and media
