Russian Woman Arrested Over Alleged Illegal Beauty Clinic in Phuket Villa

Police arrested a 45-year-old Russian woman at a luxury villa in Thalang, Phuket, for allegedly operating an unlicensed beauty clinic. The woman, identified only as Kristine, is accused of offering Botox and filler injections without the required medical licences. Officers seized 130 items from the villa, including Botox, hyaluronic acid fillers, anaesthetic, injectable collagen, syringes, medicine, and cosmetic treatment equipment worth more than 600,000 baht. The raid followed an investigation into reports that a foreigner was running an illegal clinic from the property. Police said a Thai woman was found lying on a treatment bed inside a room that appeared to be set up for cosmetic procedures.
