Underground Beauty Treatments Cause Trouble

Hair transplantation at half the price, cheap beauty services and the promise of face change at the lowest cost; Tempting offers that may be hidden behind an unauthorized establishment; Centers that don't have a clear sign, don't necessarily use expert staff, and it's not easy for inspectors to identify them.

According to Ambassador Arjan, citing Ambassador Arjan, hair transplant at half price, cheap beauty services and the promise of face change at the lowest cost; Tempting offers that may be hidden behind an unauthorized establishment; Centers that don't have a clear sign, don't necessarily use expert staff, and it's not easy for inspectors to identify them.

However, their market is still hot and some customers risk their health and beauty in hopes of paying less.

Now, the new statistics of the Iran University of Medical Sciences show that in the last 6 months, 84 unauthorized medical centers have been closed and sealed in the area covered by this university. A significant part of the identified violations is related to beauty, skin and hair services, hair transplant, hair removal, and laser; Services whose unprincipled performance can have consequences beyond dissatisfaction with the result of a cosmetic procedure.

Saeed Aghajani, head of the treatment supervision department of Iran University of Medical Sciences, announcing the seal of 84 unauthorized centers about the difficulty of identifying these centers, says: Unauthorized centers usually do not have signs and their activities are secret. In many cases, using monitoring facilities and new technologies, they are informed about the presence of inspectors and do not open the door to them. However, if necessary, with the coordination of the judicial authorities and obtaining the entry permit, the site will be inspected. Emphasizing that we do not have accurate statistics on the number of unauthorized centers, he continues: In such circumstances, public reports play an important role in discovering violations.

According to the statement of the head of the treatment supervision department of Iran University of Medical Sciences, the most activity of unauthorized centers is identified in Sadeghieh and Saadat Abad areas, and the reason for that is the frequent movement of people. Their services can lead to damages that are sometimes irreparable. According to this official, the most common side effects observed in visiting these unauthorized centers are drooping eyelids, damage to the eyes and beauty, and disfigurement of the face.

One of the most important means of attracting customers in unauthorized centers is offering lower prices than legal centers. However, according to Aghajani, this issue should not be the criterion for choosing a treatment center: "Currently, the cost of hair transplant is around 50 million tomans, which of course we do not accept this price, but unauthorized centers offer the same service with an offer of 20 million tomans. At what cost is less cost, when the result is the loss of facial beauty or irreparable damage?" This official emphasizes that there are tariffs approved by the Ministry of Health for services such as hair and eyebrow transplants or mole removal, and despite inflation and increased costs, people should be more careful about lower costs.

Concerns about the activity of unauthorized beauty centers have also been raised by the officials of the Medical System Organization. Dr. Mohammad Reza Khordmand, the then deputy police officer of the medical system organization, said that most of the people's complaints are in the field of beauty and restorative services, and unlicensed and underground centers are one of the main causes of damage to people's health and beauty.

Damages caused by unauthorized beauty services are not always limited to undesired facial changes. Maryam Esmaili, an expert in charge of cosmetics and health products at the Food and Drug Deputy of North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences, announced in a news last year that performing services such as gel injection, botox and laser in unqualified centers can cause skin infections, permanent stains and allergic reactions. A more severe example of these damages was also reported in Shiraz last September. Dr. Amin Nyakan, Vice President of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, announced the identification of a residential house where gel injection, botox and cosmetic surgery services were performed and one of the clients was brought to the brink of death. This center was identified after the complaint of the injured person. What services do unauthorized centers provide?

The original activity license of the center should be visible. Check the professional qualification of the doctor providing the service. Low price is not the only selection criterion. Don't trust the advertisements and pictures of cyberspace alone. Suspicious centers should be reported to the 190 system.
