How to verify if a medical aesthetic clinic and physician are legitimate?
Medical aesthetics is a medical practice that must be performed by a qualified physician in a legitimate medical institution. To verify the legitimacy of a clinic and physician, you can use official systems: the Ministry of Health and Welfare's 'Medical Institution Inquiry System' to check the clinic's registration status, and 'Medical Personnel Inquiry' to check the physician's qualifications; also verify whether the equipment or drugs used are approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Below is a compilation of official verification channels, which is neutral public information and not medical advice.
