Medical Aesthetics and Beauty Branch of Chinese Medical Association was born in June 1990 1 1, which is a brand-new academic group composed of multidisciplinary groups. In the past 20 years, with the care and support of the leaders of the Chinese Medical Association, the branch has always adhered to the goal of "unity and cooperation, mutual learning and mutual development", actively promoted the systematic research of medical aesthetic theory and the extensive practice and theoretical innovation of various clinical branches of cosmetic medicine, and gradually built and improved the overall discipline system of cosmetic medicine with China characteristics. China cosmetic medicine has stood tall in the world of cosmetic medicine, attracting worldwide attention.
I. Definition of Subject Noun
1 Medical Aesthetics Medical Aesthetics is a science that uses the method of combining medical theory and aesthetic knowledge to study all medical beauty phenomena in the field of medical science, as well as their occurrence, development, changing rules and application skills.
The so-called "all medical beauty phenomena" include human beauty, aesthetics in various medical treatments, health care beauty, medical behavior beauty and medical (personnel) professional image beauty and so on.
2. Cosmetic medicine Cosmetic medicine is an interdisciplinary subject that directly maintains, repairs and shapes the beauty of the human body (beauty in appearance and beauty in form) under the guidance of the theory of human aesthetics, so as to enhance the vitality and beauty of human life and improve the quality of life.
At present, it is considered that the whole discipline system of cosmetic medicine is composed of 7 basic disciplines and 6 clinical branches of facial makeup. The seven basic disciplines of facial makeup include: introduction to medical aesthetics, clinical psychology of cosmetology, cosmetology ethics, local anatomy of cosmetology, cosmetology pharmacology, cosmetology art and cosmetology foundation. The six clinical branches include: cosmetic surgery, cosmetic dermatology, cosmetic dentistry, cosmetic Chinese medicine, cosmetic medical technology and cosmetic nursing.
Second, the current situation of this discipline
(A) late start, high starting point
The International Union of Aesthetic Medicine (UIME) is the largest and most influential global academic organization in the world. UIME 1975 was founded in France, with 27 member countries, and held 16 academic conferences in the past 24 years. The branch of medical aesthetics and cosmetology of Chinese Medical Association was established in 1990, which can be referred to as "China Academy of Aesthetic Medicine" (CAAM) for external communication. Although we started later than UIME, the American Society of Aesthetic Medicine was founded in 1999, 9 years later than China. Other countries, such as Belgium, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, etc., set up cosmetic medical associations earlier than China. The so-called high starting point is because when our branch was founded, it was guided by a certain discipline concept of medical aesthetics. On the second day after the establishment of the branch, the Standing Committee of the first Committee and more than 50 experts from all over the country were organized to study the basic concepts and structure of the whole discipline of cosmetic medicine, which was embodied in the book Medical Aesthetics (published by Shanghai Science and Technology Press 1995) edited by me. The overall concept and system of medical aesthetics and cosmetology in contemporary China have been accepted by UIME. In 2006, R.Pinto, lifelong honorary chairman of UIME, commented: "In terms of medical aesthetics and cosmetology medical theory, all countries in the world are in the initial stage, and we should learn from China."
(2) rapid development and remarkable achievements.
Since its establishment 20 years ago, the branch has actively carried out academic exchanges at home and abroad, extensively contacted and United colleagues in related disciplines, and actively offered suggestions and suggestions to the health administrative department as staff. The discipline construction has developed rapidly and achieved many achievements.
1, beauty academic institutions are all over the country, and the academic team has grown unprecedentedly. China Medical Beauty Branch has set up professional committees of beauty medicine in all provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. Driven by our branch, china health care association, the Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, and the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have all set up beauty branches, and some specialized societies, such as plastic surgery and dermatology branches, have also set up beauty groups or beauty sub-disciplinary committees. Academic activities have jumped abnormally. There are countless beauty academic conferences held all over the country every year, and tens of thousands of people participate in the activities. Our academic team has grown unprecedentedly.
2. Medical cosmetology has been officially included in the national medical institutions' diagnosis and treatment subjects and basic standards of medical institutions, and the document No.27 of the Ministry of Health [1994] in September 2004. Medical cosmetology, together with dermatology, surgery and internal medicine, ranks as a first-class diagnosis and treatment discipline, ranking as "14". In September of the same year, the Notice of Matsube No.30 on Basic Standards of Medical Institutions stipulated the standards of beauty hospitals, beauty clinics, beauty clinics, medical beauty departments and other institutions in general hospitals.
3. Established various professional journals of cosmetic medicine, such as China Journal of Cosmetic Medicine, China Journal of Medical Beauty, China Journal of Plastic Surgery, etc. In addition, there are various popular beauty magazines and newspapers, which have built an academic exchange platform for the majority of beauty medical workers.
4. Creation of Beauty Education and Cultivation of Professional Talents 1993 Since then, undergraduate (four-year) and specialist (three-year) professional education (medical beauty technology and clinical beauty direction) has been set up in more than 20 medical colleges and universities across the country, and a large number of middle and senior beauty talents have been trained. Some medical colleges have also trained a number of doctors and masters in cosmetic medicine.
5. Edit and publish many sets of professional teaching materials and a large number of academic works.
(1) Textbooks:1kloc-0/Planning Textbook for Medical Colleges and Universities (People's Health Publishing House, 2002) and 10 Series Textbooks for National Medical Colleges and Universities (Jiangxi University Press,199)
(2) In terms of works, there are representative cosmetology dictionaries (edited by He Lun, 1993), stomatology aesthetics (edited by Sun Shaoxuan, 1994), medical cosmetology (edited by Zhang Qiliang, 1996) and traditional Chinese medicine cosmetology (edited by Huang Feili,/kloc-). 1998), fundamentals of cosmetic medicine (edited by Peng Qingxing and He Lun, 1999), body aesthetics (edited by Fang, 2000), cosmetic dermatology (edited by Zhang Qiliang, 2002), cosmetic surgery (edited by Gao Jingheng, 2003) and oral aesthetics () In addition,
6. The overall discipline system of cosmetic medicine with China characteristics has been established and gradually improved.
The discipline system of cosmetic medicine is a brand-new branch of medicine founded by Chinese scholars, which links all branches of cosmetic medicine, learns from each other, permeates each other and develops together, which is not found in foreign cosmetic medicine. At present, the academic groups of cosmetic medicine abroad are all academic organizations of a branch of cosmetic medicine, such as the Society of Cosmetic Surgery, the Society of Cosmetic Dermatology, and the Federation of Cosmetic Dentistry. They all carry out academic activities independently, and there is no overall discipline and academic team.
7. It is in line with the international beauty academic circles and recognized by international academic organizations. From 1993 to 2007, it hosted six international beauty medical academic conferences in Xi 'an, Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai, and sent many experts to participate in the beauty medical conferences held in Italy, Romania, the United States, Russia, Peru, Singapore, Argentina and Kazakhstan. The research results of medical aesthetics and cosmetology in China are comprehensively introduced, which are highly praised and praised by foreign counterparts. Professor Raul Pinto, honorary president of the International Union of Aesthetic Medicine, believes that China's discipline construction model should be recommended to all countries in the world, and American experts should also ask China experts to help them with discipline construction. On April 10, 2007, the International Union of Aesthetic Medicine held a meeting of the presidents of cosmetic medical associations in 22 member countries, and unanimously accepted China as a member of the organization.
(3) Characteristics of contemporary cosmetic medicine in China.
1. The basic principles of medical cosmetology guide and condense the research guiding ideology centered on "the beauty of medical human body", and guide and integrate "cosmetic technology" and related talents from various "parent disciplines" (such as plastic surgery, dermatology, stomatology, etc.). ), built a brand-new discipline and academic organization, and consciously or unconsciously used this principle in practice for in-depth research and continuous innovation and innovation.
2. The medical beauty technology of Chinese medicine and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine has been added to Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and its beauty theory and experience have continued to this day, especially the medical beauty, acupuncture beauty and beauty massage technology, which is unique in bodybuilding, beauty preservation and anti-aging. The dialectical methods of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine are also unique in the diagnosis of capacitive diseases and the aesthetic judgment of human body. Only by using Chinese and western methods to learn from each other's strengths can we achieve lasting cosmetic treatment results. It is a trinity of modern medical beauty technology, traditional Chinese medicine beauty and integrated Chinese and Western medicine beauty, and it is another major feature of contemporary China beauty.
3. All-round and coordinated development of related disciplines In addition to the above-mentioned research on the object, concept and basic theory of cosmetic medicine as a whole, gratifying achievements have also been made in the standardization of medical beauty institutions, professional technology, professional education and subject terminology. The systematic research and application of these four aspects by foreign world peer organizations and national peer organizations and experts is still blank.
Third, the development prospect of this discipline
1. Cosmetic medicine has a broad development space. The pursuit of health and beauty is the eternal theme of human beings, which is endless. The improvement of material and cultural level gave birth to the pursuit of beauty. Socialization, marriage, study, job selection and talent recruitment all provide more opportunities for people with beautiful figure and appearance to succeed in competition. With the needs of society, innovative research and development of new beauty technologies, new materials and new products (especially beauty cosmetics and skin care products); To improve the success rate of cosmetic surgery and treatment, and reduce risks and costs, the requirements for cosmetic medical workers will become higher and stricter. The above aspects provide a broad development prospect for cosmetic medicine.
2. It is encouraging to sum up experience, find out gaps and promote discipline construction in the past 20 years. It's time to calm down and seriously review and summarize. Personally, I think we should first make great efforts in basic theoretical research and clinical application research, establish topics, divide work and cooperate, organize forces to carry out continuous and in-depth research, form an active academic atmosphere, cultivate reserve research talents, and strive for more achievements and talents.
Secondly, it has not been recognized by the government in scientific research project declaration, achievement evaluation and professional title promotion. At present, the national competent department has positioned the diagnosis and treatment subjects and institutional construction of beauty medical institutions, but there is still no counterpart management department to accept the declaration of scientific research topics, the evaluation of achievements and the promotion of personnel titles, which is not conducive to the development of disciplines and the stability of academic teams. These problems should be solved as soon as possible.
3. Strengthen international academic exchanges and cooperation, actively introduce the status quo, achievements and characteristics of China's cosmetic medicine to international counterparts, learn from foreign experience with an open mind, learn from each other's strong points, further improve ourselves, and actively bid for the 20 108 World Congress on Cosmetic Medicine.
