Aesthetic treatments like Botox, fillers, and lasers are becoming very popular. But recently, many beauty therapists—who are trained in facials, massages, and skin care—have started offering these procedures, even though they don’t have a medical background.

This might sound harmless, but it can actually be risky for patients.

Why Is This a Problem?

    1.    Not Just Beauty, It’s Medicine
Injectables and lasers are medical procedures. They require detailed knowledge of the body, skin, and blood vessels. Without that, even a “simple” injection can cause serious harm.
    2.    Handling Complications
What if something goes wrong? A blocked blood vessel, skin burn, or allergic reaction needs urgent medical care. A beauty therapist isn’t trained to recognize or treat these emergencies.
    3.    Unlicensed Practices
Many non-medical providers work outside health authority regulations. This means less accountability and more risks for patients.

How Patients Can Protect Themselves

Before you book a treatment, always ask:
    •    Is my doctor a dermatologist or plastic surgeon?
    •    Are they licensed with the health authority?
    •    Is the clinic approved by regulators?

If the answers aren’t clear, think twice before proceeding.

The Takeaway

Beauty therapists are experts in beauty treatments like facials, massages, waxing for hair removal, nails care etc. But aesthetic medicine belongs to doctors who are trained to keep patients safe. Always check credentials before letting anyone perform a medical procedure on you.

✨ Remember: Your safety comes first. Don’t compromise it for convenience or low cost.
