Without safety, the "1" becomes meaningless, regardless of how many "0" follow. This is the core consensus driving standardized development in Zhangzhou's medical aesthetics industry. Recently, China Industry Economic Information Network published a special report titled "Zhangzhou Steadily Advances Comprehensive Governance of Medical Aesthetics Industry and Continuously Improves Full-Chain Supervision Mechanism." The report highlights multi-departmental collaboration on medical aesthetics regulation across the city. Xiangcheng Xinyimei Medical Aesthetic Outpatient Clinic, recognized as a benchmark for compliant private medical aesthetics providers in Xiangcheng District, was featured to share its standardized quality control and safe clinical operation practices, setting a model for the legitimate medical aesthetics sector in Zhangzhou.

Reports indicate that in recent years, Zhangzhou's Health Commission, Market Regulation Bureau, Public Security Bureau, and Cyberspace Administration have coordinated efforts to upgrade medical aesthetic regulation from simple credential verification to a closed-loop control covering diagnosis and treatment, pharmaceuticals and devices, and post-operative follow-up. While demand for medical aesthetics in central Zhangzhou remains strong, illegal injections by unlicensed beauty salons and private studios, along with the use of substandard materials, continue to be major issues. In 2025, there were 16 complaints related to medical aesthetics in the city; all 3 cases of illegal practice of medicine originated from unlicensed beauty salons. Many patients seeking beauty treatments suffered complications such as granulomas, permanent scarring, and facial injuries due to low-cost black-market procedures.

The Municipal Medical Aesthetic Quality Control Center reminds the public: injections, laser treatments, and procedures that break the skin are all medical practices. Distinguishing between cosmetic services and medical aesthetics is key to avoiding pitfalls. Do not believe false claims such as "light aesthetic procedures carry zero risk" or "low price, high results." In response to industry irregularities, Xiangcheng District serves as a regulatory model area, increasing inspection frequency of compliant aesthetic clinics in its jurisdiction, establishing a full-chain traceability system for pharmaceuticals and devices, and using credit ratings and joint enforcement actions to penalize non-compliant businesses, thereby compelling institutions to uphold medical safety standards.

Amidst an industry landscape where public medical institutions lead quality control and compliant private clinics foster self-discipline and collaboration, Dr. Letong, attending physician at Xinyimei Medical Aesthetics Clinic in Xiangcheng, Zhangzhou, was highlighted by media for his safety-first philosophy: "Beauty should enhance what you already have, not gamble with your health. Safety is the non-negotiable foundation of medical aesthetics."

As a well-established, dual-campus medical aesthetics clinic with deep roots in Zhangzhou for years, we reject the assembly-line replication of internet-famous looks. Instead, we create personalized improvement plans tailored to each patient's natural features. During consultations, we thoroughly discuss surgical risks and are not afraid to advise against procedures for those driven by appearance anxiety or who do not meet physical safety criteria. Our facility maintains multiple strict safety management protocols:

Multidisciplinary Preoperative Joint Assessment: A comprehensive evaluation conducted by the consulting physician, nursing team, and anesthesiologist. Full anesthesia procedures are subject to a veto mechanism. For instance, while a patient's initial consultation showed no abnormalities, persistently elevated heart rate detected during preoperative testing prompted the anesthesiologist to immediately halt the procedure, recommending management of underlying conditions first to fully mitigate intraoperative risks.

Lifetime traceability for implants: Permanent dual physical and digital records for implant procedures such as rhinoplasty and breast augmentation, including full documentation of patient consultations, authentic serial numbers, surgical reports, and annual follow-up logs. All implanted materials are fully traceable throughout their lifecycle.

Comprehensive Equipment and Drug Management: Maintain complete logs for maintenance, repairs, and handpiece replacements for all light-based devices. Procure Class III medical devices such as hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin exclusively through authorized channels, implement one-item-one-code traceability, and prevent diversion or counterfeit consumables.

The Dean of Letong City expressed strong support for the city's long-term regulatory mechanism for medical beauty credit ratings. Compliant, legitimate institutions have long been undercut by low-priced, non-compliant clinics; improving the credit-based reward and punishment system will not only deter unethical businesses but also bolster the reputation of those adhering to regulations. In addition, our hospital has proactively called on compliant private medical beauty providers in Zhangzhou to sign an industry self-discipline pact, standardize transparent pricing, conduct regular cross-checks of medical records and pharmaceutical/device logs, and jointly promote rational beauty awareness through public welfare education—working together to establish Zhangzhou as a benchmark for safe medical aesthetics.

The report states that the Zhangzhou Health Commission will further deepen cross-departmental special campaigns to crack down on unlicensed injections, false advertising, and counterfeit medical devices. It will also collaborate with public hospitals and compliant private providers to educate the public on identifying legitimate cosmetic procedures and understanding rights protection channels, guiding people toward rational aesthetics and moving away from appearance anxiety-driven marketing.

As a key compliant medical aesthetics demonstration institution in Xiangcheng District, Zhangzhou XinYimei Medical Aesthetics Outpatient Clinic will continue to align with the city's standardized governance requirements. We are committed to strengthening internal quality control, infection prevention and control, and end-to-end management of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. We actively cooperate with regulatory inspections, promote safe medical aesthetics knowledge among patients in Zhangzhou, uphold our medical mission, and safeguard local residents' "beauty safety." Our goal is to drive the development of Zhangzhou's medical aesthetics industry toward safer, standardized, and high-quality standards.
