Beauty's Ugly Truth

A Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ they need more power to take action. The Egyptian Health Ministry has not responded to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s request to comment.
