On December 23, the Department of Legal Dissemination and Education (Ministry of Justice) organized a workshop on "Legal regulations for the beauty care industry".
Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Dr. Le Ve Quoc - Director of the Department of Legal Dissemination and Education (Ministry of Justice) - said that in recent years, the beauty industry market in Vietnam has had positive developments, contributing significantly to Vietnam's economic growth.
The beauty industry also creates job opportunities and stable income for workers and is considered by many experts to be a trending industry, attracting the attention of the community.
The beauty care industry not only includes activities such as: spa, skin care, hairdressing, eyelash extensions, nails but also activities of medical examination and treatment facilities specializing in dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, cosmetic surgery... Therefore, this field is not only about the simple appearance but also about the health and life of people.
Vietnamese law has set out certain regulations and conditions for businesses and related establishments to ensure public health, safety, business order and prevent potential consequences.
However, compliance with the law in the beauty industry by some businesses and beauty establishments is still limited. This leads to adverse legal consequences for businesses and establishments such as: administrative sanctions, forced suspension of operations, and even criminal liability.
At the workshop, Dr. Nguyen Trong Khoa - Deputy Director of the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management (Ministry of Health) - provided some information related to legal regulations on medical examination and treatment for the beauty care industry.
Accordingly, in addition to medical examination and treatment facilities that have been granted operating licenses with scope of activities related to the field of aesthetics, there are still many "underground" aesthetic facilities that operate in violation of current regulations; human resources have not been properly trained and specialized.
To strengthen the management of medical examination and treatment facilities related to cosmetic services, Mr. Khoa proposed to build a legal corridor with stricter regulations; issue documents, directives to urge and remind for these contents and fields.
At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen communication, propaganda and dissemination activities to people and businesses about regulations related to the beauty care industry and regularly organize inspection teams to check the management of establishments that provide cosmetic services.
In addition, delegates listened to Dr. Nguyen Thi Minh Phuong - Deputy Director of the Department of Administrative Violations and Law Enforcement Monitoring (Ministry of Justice) - introduce regulations on handling administrative violations and criminal liability for beauty businesses.
