Inspections on Illegal Aesthetic and Health Practices

October 24, 2026

The Health Ministry's Pharmaceutical Services are investigating illegal practices such as botox parties and private vitamin cocktail gatherings. Inspections reveal injectable drugs in unlicensed areas, mainly involving young women. Despite complaints, many cases do not reach the courts due to a lack of testimonies. Authorities remain vigilant in trying to curb this activity. Men are also participating in gatherings for intravenous 'treatments' claiming to boost health.
