Fake doctors, fake nurses: Things to watch out for before choosing a beauty clinic

In this era where beauty enhancement is very popular and affordable, everyone wants to look better in their own way. But this increasing popularity comes with worrying risks, especially fake doctors and fake nurses who hide in some clinics and hospitals that are not up to standard. If you are thinking of having a procedure or adjusting your face, this article will help you be aware and protect yourself from possible dangers.

What are fake doctors and fake nurses?

• A fake doctor is a person who does not have a medical license, has not received proper medical education and training, but claims to be a doctor in order to inject botox, fillers, do lasers, or perform other procedures.

• A fake nurse is a person who does not have a nursing license or has not undergone training according to standards but disguises himself as a nurse in order to care for patients or assist doctors in performing procedures.

Why are fake doctors and fake nurses dangerous?

1. Lack of knowledge and experience. Performing cosmetic procedures such as botox injections, fillers, thread lifts, or lasers requires knowledge of anatomy and specialized techniques. If the person performing the procedure lacks knowledge, mistakes can occur, such as injecting into a vein, damaging the tissue and causing severe complications.

2. Using substandard drugs: Fake doctors often use cheap, illegal drugs that do not have FDA approval or substances that are not approved, which can cause allergies, infections, or dangerous side effects.

3. No responsibility after treatment. Fake doctors often do not have a permanent address or clinic. If problems or side effects occur, you may not be able to track them down to take responsibility.

How to spot fake doctors and fake nurses

1. Check professional license

   • A licensed physician must be able to show a "Medical License" from the Medical Council.

   • You can check the names of doctors via the Medical Council website ( https://www.tmc.or.th ).

2. The clinic must be licensed.

   • A legitimate beauty clinic must have a license to operate a medical facility from the Ministry of Public Health.

3. Beware of unreasonably low prices

   • If a clinic offers a procedure that is unusually cheaper than the market price, such as 1,000 baht for Botox or 3,000 baht for filler, be suspicious that they may be using fake products.

4. Check service availability

   • A standard clinic must provide services only by doctors, not assistants or non-doctors.

Impact of choosing the wrong clinic

1. Infection, unsterilized equipment, or use of unsafe substances can lead to serious infections.

2. Facial disfigurement: If filler or botox is injected in the wrong place, it can cause a crooked face, uneven eyes, or tissue necrosis.

3. Legal implications: Fake doctors may escape responsibility, forcing victims to face complicated legal processes
