Cosmetic operations need to be supervised by medical staff, not beauty salon employees

Dr Amin Hussein Al Amiri, assistant undersecretary for public health policy and licensing at MOHP, called on the public not to pay attention to misleading advertisements which promote cosmetic injections at homes. He also asked residents to ignore advertisements claiming special cosmetic injections unless the advertisement is licensed by the health ministry. He emphasised that most promises made by ads published on social networking sites are unrealistic and not based on medical facts. He explained that cosmetic operations need to be supervised by doctors, specialists and surgeons and not by beauty centre staff, and must be conducted only under the supervision of medical professionals. reporters@khaleejtimes.com
