Question 13794 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Thierry Frappé draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the performance of aesthetic procedures by certain masseurs-physiotherapists. The regulatory framework applicable to this profession, in particular the decree of January 6, 1962 relating to professional acts and the exercise of masso-physiotherapy, provides that the acts carried out by these professionals must meet a therapeutic purpose and intervene within the framework of a medical prescription. However, it appears that certain techniques are used today to offer purely aesthetic services without any link to a pathology. Furthermore, situations are reported in which masseurs-physiotherapists would practice hair removal using pulsed light or laser while Decree No. 2024-470 of May 24, 2024 regulating the use of these techniques for non-therapeutic purposes does not mention this profession among the authorized professionals. In this context, he asks her if she confirms that the acts carried out by masseurs-physiotherapists must be limited to acts pursuing a therapeutic objective and what measures she intends to take in order to guarantee compliance with the applicable regulatory framework.
