Recently, a beauty clinic in the Samrong area and its Chai Samoraphum branch were raided by Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA), health service support and Consumer Protection Police Division officials.

 

The investigation, which was prompted by revealing and provocative content uploaded to YouTube, uncovered more than 500,000 followers on a content creator’s channel. This marketing strategy, however, has caused controversy across social media platforms. Apart from that, the clinics were found to be using unregistered drugs and cosmetic products.

 

The raid was conducted after the clinic uploaded unblurred videos of laser hair removal procedures for female private parts on YouTube. The explicit content attracted a large following, creating buzz and controversy on social media platforms. Apparently, a popular content creator with more than 500,000 subscribers reviewed the laser procedure, which took place at the clinic.

 

Upon inspection, officials discovered that the clinics provided beauty enhancement services to the general public. They managed to seize three suspicious drug products, while another two were confiscated from the Chai Samoraphum branch. Moreover, it was found that the clinics advertised their services on Twitter and YouTube without obtaining necessary permissions, which contravenes Thai laws and regulations.

In my experience the razors from 7/11 are just fine for that purpose. And I am sure they are a lot cheaper than lasers.
