Abstract
|
|
|
Background: Medical skin care is essential for the treatment of skin diseases all over the world. Medical skin care is also part of medical practice and this must be differentiated from the simple skin care that is given for normal healthy skin.
Objective: We wanted to discuss medical skin care and the related medical devices and legal issues.
Methods: We reviewed the related laws and regulations, we consulted experts and associations and we analyzed the result of the survey.
Results: Legally, medical skin care and simple skin care are well classified. However, many illegal procedures are still performed by non-medical personnel and many adverse effects have been reported as a result. Furthermore, there are no legal restrictions for the performer based on the grade of each medical skin care procedure.
Conclusion: For the best results and safe procedures, medical skin care must be performed by approved medical equipment under the supervision of a physician or medical personnel. Continuous control and guidance by the government is strongly needed.
