Authorities have arrested six individuals at several clinics for performing beauty treatments without a medical license. In a separate case, an unlicensed Chinese medicine practitioner was apprehended for falsely claiming ancestral knowledge.

 

The results of two major cases were revealed on August 28 at the Central Investigation Bureau. The arrests were made following raids at various health care facilities, homes, and spa parlors being illegally used as clinics in Rayong and Phuket provinces. Among those arrested were a clinic owner and five unlicensed doctors.

 

 

 

 

These individuals were found to be misusing registered beauty products by injecting them into clients, using unregistered drugs, and carrying out medical treatments with unlicensed staff. Officials confiscated over 200 items such as registered and illegal medicines, medical tools, mislabeled cosmetics, and other medical materials worth more than 280,000 baht.

 

Officials noted a product named “infiNAdi Nad+'' was being continually misused at these clinics despite its registration being cancelled. The beauty clinics were allegedly using it for non-approved procedures including injections into clients' bodies. The police are investigating more than 200 additional beauty clinics that are suspected of similar illegal operations.

Amazing how these establishments continue to operate right under the noses of people who should be checking that they are operating under the law.
