'the first batch of post-90s are bald 'and' how to win the battle of hair line defence '& hellip& hellip; In the face of such a topic, some people see the anxiety of 'moving back the hairline', some people just regard it as a joke for entertainment, while others see 'business'.
Relevant research reports show that in 2017, the turnover of the national hair transplant industry has reached 9.2 billion yuan. However, the Beijing News reporter's investigation found that behind the huge hair transplant market, there are illegal gold digging by various treatment and training institutions. In the reporter's unannounced interview, a training institution was not a doctor's' teacher ', with four or five' students' who also did not have the qualification of a doctor, directly operating a knife on the top of their head 'practical teaching'.
According to the survey released by the China Association for health promotion and education, among the 250 million Chinese people with hair loss, people aged 20 to 40 account for a large proportion, and many young patients with hair loss are becoming the 'hunting targets' of various treatment institutions. However, when the first batch of post-90s have become the main force of hair loss, the hair transplantation industry is still in an era of "three-day quick success" in the Jianghu, which may be more worrying than "hair loss".
Although hair transplantation is only a minimally invasive operation, in the final analysis, it is a knife on people's' head ', and its requirements for professional technology are necessary. As experts have pointed out, hair transplantation involves many aspects, such as the proportion of anesthetics, the disinfection of the operating room, whether the hair drill is qualified, and so on.
If the anesthetic and disinfection are not qualified, it may lead to vomiting, syncope and even death. Therefore, those 'teachers' who do not have a professional background directly' practice 'with students who also have no doctor qualification, not only play with the safety of consumers, but also degrade the professional image of the industry.
When clearly marked prices have long become market common sense, in the era of 'post-90s hair loss', the' pricing 'of hair transplantation surgery actually' depends on the economic level of patients'; When some training institutions issue so-called qualification certificates to students, their recognition institutions are already exposed Shanzhai societies; It takes five to seven years to train a regular hair transplant doctor, but some training institutions are peddling the "three-day crash course" hellip& hellip; Under the chaos, it shows that some hair transplant institutions just treat patients as' leeks'.
It must be acknowledged that the hair transplant industry does have relative particularity. On the one hand, as a rapidly growing new market, industry standards and technical specifications are behind the market development at a certain stage, which is inevitable; On the other hand, different from the general 'consumption' market, there is often a relatively 'conservative' consumption psychology in the hair transplant market. Even if some patients know they have been cheated and are limited by privacy and social vision, it is difficult for them to take the step of safeguarding their rights. In this dual reality, the industry's' cheating and being cheated 'naturally has more inducing soil.
However, whether based on the long-term and healthy development of the whole industry or the protection of consumers' rights and interests, the hair transplant industry needs to 'implant' a new order. However, the establishment of this new order does not rely on managing everything. In view of the relative particularity and generality of the industry, making necessary institutional replacement is a more effective way to deal with it.
For example, in terms of industry characteristics, whether hair transplantation must be completely equal to general medical and aesthetic surgery, and whether its professional qualification must be in line with general 'doctors'. Further, how can the relevant qualification training carried out by regular hospitals meet the growing market demand. In these aspects, a balance mechanism is needed -- taking into account the characteristics of the market and the protection of consumers' rights and interests.
In terms of universality, the competitive ranking of medical advertisements needs to be effectively standardized. A firewall is needed between the online consultation of convenient medical institutions and the 'online medical care', and even how to completely 'demagnetize' some exposed Shanzhai societies. And other external factors are not only perplexing the hair transplant industry.
There is no 'newborn' hair transplant industry, which is doomed to fail to bring 'new hair' to patients with hair loss. When the post-90s start the 'hairline defense war', the hair planting industry also needs a regulatory defense war and self-help action to face the clutter.
