Taiwan’s medical aesthetics industry is undergoing a significant transformation with the upcoming 2025 regulations, aimed at enhancing patient safety and professional standards. The new rules will phase out the ‘direct-to-practice’ phenomenon by mandating two years of PGY training for all aesthetic practitioners. Procedures will be stratified by risk, requiring higher qualifications for more invasive treatments. This shift seeks to move the industry from a commercial free-for-all to a regulated, safety-focused medical field, empowering consumers to make informed choices.
