  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Perspectives" reporter Zhu Huang and Wang Chenyang

  The so-called "imported medicines" are mostly smuggled goods and even "three non-products". "Senior beauty experts" may be "7-day crash course students" without medical licenses. "VIP clinics" are even disinfected in residential buildings. Small cubicles without equipment...

  Recently, the Shanghai Police has conducted in-depth investigations and concentrated crackdown operations in conjunction with the Shanghai Market Supervision, Drug Administration, Health and other departments, smashed two criminal gangs illegally operating smuggling of imported medical and aesthetic products, and investigated and punished more than 60 unlicensed medical and cosmetic clinics, again exposed The "black medicine, black doctor, black clinic" problem that has always existed in the medical and beauty industry.

More than 800 yuan to buy 2400 yuan sales are some "three no products"

  In January 2019, the beauty salon owner Qian Mou met some sellers of medical beauty products. Some of these sellers are from Guangdong, Hebei and other places, and some are foreign. They all say that they can provide a large number of products such as hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, and Shuiguang needles at low prices. Qian bought large quantities of medical and aesthetic medicines and medical devices from these sellers and sold them at high prices in his beauty and skincare online store.

  Taking the hyaluronic acid product of a certain brand as an example, Qian bought it for 830 yuan and sold it for 2,400 yuan. In a year, Qian and his associates sold more than 200,000 (bottles) of medical and aesthetic products, and the amount involved was more than 34 million yuan.

  Another criminal gang headed by Wu Mou illegally sold all kinds of medical and aesthetic products for more than 30 million yuan in the same way.

  The country has a strict market access system for medical and cosmetic medicines and devices. It is understood that some of these illegally smuggled medical and aesthetic products are produced by regular manufacturers, and criminals are smuggling in order to evade customs duties; a considerable part of the goods have not been approved by the state for import, and some are even "three no products". The quality is fundamental There is no guarantee.

  Lu Qi, chief of the Food and Drug Environmental Investigation Division of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, introduced that these medical and aesthetic products mainly flowed into the country through two channels. First, they were carried by the backpacker "human flesh" at the port and entered by "ant moving". Customs, and then distributed to various places; the second is to "buy" and other means mixed in the logistics package, sent from abroad to enter.

  Yu Meng, head of the Food and Drug Environmental Investigation Division of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, said that medical and aesthetic medicines have strict transportation and storage requirements, and generally require low-temperature cold chains throughout the process, but the transportation, storage and storage of these smuggled medicines are not in line with Claim. Even the products of regular manufacturers may be contaminated, invalid or even deteriorated, and there is a great risk.

  "Many medical and cosmetic medicines directly enter the human body. Once there is a quality problem, the consequences are unbearable. Most of these illegally smuggled medical and aesthetic products flow to unlicensed medical and aesthetic clinics and beauty manicure shops around the country, greatly increasing the number of medical and aesthetic accidents. Probability." Yu Meng said.

The low price and the convenience of "hit and hit" make illegal micro plastic surgery business prosperous

  According to the regulations on the management of medical beauty services, the attending physician responsible for implementing the medical beauty project needs to be qualified as a practicing physician and have work experience in relevant clinical disciplines. However, the reporter found that most of the people engaged in illegal plastic surgery did not have professional medical knowledge or qualifications for medical and aesthetic practice, and some only participated in a "crash course" for a few days.

  Suspect Wang was a nurse in a top three hospital in Shanghai. After seeing the high demand and high profits in the medical and beauty industry, she quit her job and started a nail salon, and her income soon "turned seven or eight times" than before.

  After the case, Wang explained that the nail shop was just a signboard on the facade. What really brought her huge profits was the micro-plastic surgery hidden in the nail shop. Wang's micro plastic surgery place is hidden in a small room on the second floor of the nail salon. There are no disinfection facilities in the room, only a common massage bed, and dozens of medical and beauty products are piled up on the ground. From hyaluronic acid filling rhinoplasty, forehead and chin, to injecting botulinum toxin to thin face and thin legs, Wang Mou, who has no medical qualification, has undertaken more than a dozen kinds of business, and the products used are all smuggled drugs purchased from informal channels.

  In the formal cosmetic orthopedics hospital, three or four thousand yuan of medical and aesthetic projects are needed, and in Wang Mou only one or two thousand yuan. The low price and the convenience of "speak and fight" have made the nail salon business prosperous, and Wang's former identity as a nurse has become a "signboard" to gain customer trust.

  Wang said: "Many customers simply do not understand the difference between medical beauty injections and daily intramuscular injections. My former nurse status gave customers extra trust." When some old customers brought various types of cosmetic injections to Wang for injection, Wang A person charges a "service fee" ranging from 500 to 800 yuan.

  According to regulations, cosmetic injections must be performed by plastic surgeons or dermatologists with doctor qualifications in a safe and hygienic environment, and medical and aesthetic products approved by the State Drug Administration must be used. Some beauty salons and manicure shops hiding in residential buildings have left many beauty-loving people who want to have convenience and low prices "faced".

  Xiao Gao, a girl in her early 20s, was originally good-looking. She spent 16,000 yuan doing a "line carving lift" in a nail shop hiding in a business building. As a result, many wounds were swollen and pus. Later, the hospital was diagnosed as "Senegal" Mycobacterial infection". The doctor said that it is likely that the infection of the surgical environment or the deterioration of the medicine caused the infection, "the appearance will definitely be damaged."

Medical and cosmetic disputes are difficult to protect and protect illegal medical and beauty needs multi-sector linkage

  It is understood that after the medical and cosmetic disputes in the "black clinic", there is a general problem of difficulty in safeguarding the rights of the patients. Once many “black clinics” are checked, they often change places to “start a new stove”.

  A reporter's investigation found that the medical and cosmetic industry is prone to "seven or eight large caps, not a small straw hat" due to market supervision, drug supervision, health and other management departments. Yu Meng believes that in order to rectify the chaos in the medical and beauty industry, it is necessary to strengthen the communication and cooperation of various departments, exchange information, from finding clues to cracking down on investigation and punishment, continuously strengthening the connection between the administrative department and the police, and cooperating with law enforcement to ensure the effectiveness of crackdown.

  Lawyer Gong Qinghua of Shanghai Zhonghao Law Firm stated that to purify the medical beauty market, firstly, it is necessary to strengthen industry supervision and strictly regulate the behavior of medical and beauty institutions in accordance with the "Measures for the Management of Bad Practices of Medical Institutions in Shanghai"; secondly, police and market supervision, Drug administration and other administrative departments have strengthened cooperation to quickly and effectively investigate "black clinics" that have turned into nail salons and hair salons, and overhaul regular beauty shops to operate beyond the scope.

  Some medical professionals said that nowadays, a large number of small and beautiful medical advertisements make many people blindly plastic and ignore risks. It is recommended that the relevant competent departments strengthen the review of medical beauty advertisements to avoid exaggerating and false propaganda to mislead consumers.

  Professor Guo Shuzhong, the former chairman of the Plastic Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, said that currently the plastic surgery population has a tendency to become younger, and those who love beauty should enhance their risk awareness and not be tempted to be cheap and convenient. "'Micro-plastic surgery' is not ordinary cosmetics, but surgery. It is the same as other surgical procedures. As long as you enter the operating room, there are risks. If there is a need, you must choose a regular medical orthopedic hospital."
