After the completion of obesity treatment, customer (patient) satisfaction was high, and it was found that if obesity treatment was added to the existing treatment at Korean medicine clinics, sales would increase. And the respondents answered that if obesity management is implemented, sales seem to be increased at a high rate. If providing information on effective obesity management methods that have been verified in the beauty field to Korean medicine doctors, a high proportion of them were willing to combine the current obesity treatment with cosmetic therapy, and also responded that the possibility of mutual fusion and collaboration in the future is high. There were many positive answers about whether or not obesity management at korean medicine clinics would contribute to opportunities for field training and employment for students enrolled in the beauty field. Also, if obesity treatment and obesity management are mutually fused or collaborated, they also showed a high positive rate on whether they think the sales of the beauty industry and the Korean medicine medical tourism industry will increase. A high percentage of responses also showed that if obesity treatment and obesity management were mutually fused or collaborated, it would help to increase the preference and vitalization of the Korean medicine medical industry and beauty tourism industry by domestic and foreign tourists.
