Â鶹Éç

A Â鶹Éç News investigation has exposed serious flaws in the Egyptian beauty industry that are endangering lives and leaving women scarred for life.

In Egypt you have to be a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to inject Botox or dermal fillers. Even laser hair removal requires a qualified doctor’s supervision.

But the Â鶹Éç found dozens of unqualified people working in the beauty industry, in breach of Egyptian laws and regulations.

Stating that they were overwhelmed by the fast pace of growth in the sector, the body responsible for registering doctors in Egypt, the Doctors’ Syndicate, told the Â鶹Éç they need more power to take action. The Egyptian Health Ministry has not responded to the Â鶹Éç’s request to comment.
