Beauty, aesthetic and cosmetic sector is growing in Turkey. Various procedures, which are highly demanded by the public, such as filler and botox etc., are being performed commonly. The number of beauty centers, which are often mentioned in various news, such as “She had a run of bad luck for beauty” etc., is increasing day by day. “Fake beauty centers”, which are decorated in a posh way with big budgets, are of concern in particular. Such businesses, which are engaged in business activities without being licensed by the Ministry of Health, affect adversely the image of centers, which include personnel who received relative training for years and who recruit specialists.
Inspections Must Be Performed Regularly
Leading stakeholders of the medical aesthetic sector, which fight against “fake beauty centers”, ask for “specific standards” to be set for relative field and for inspections to be performed regularly. Indeed, citizens must also be aware of such centers and products that they prefer. Stakeholders of the sector make the following assessment about this issue: “People used to think of “dark, secluded and bad places” when they image a “face business”, but this is not the case any more. We are facing lustrous businesses designed with high budgets. Most importantly, they don’t have licenses issued by the Ministry of Health. Yet, medical procedures may only be performed by businesses that obtain licenses from the Ministry of Health.”
Citizens Must Be Cautious
Recipients of such service play a huge role in providing a solution to this problem. Individuals must examine the centers that they go to in detail and must examine each product in depth. They may pursue relative procedures by reviewing the “registration system” of doctors, if required. Individuals must avoid unknown products in particular. This is because serious health problems and even life losses may be experienced due to low quality products that are applied on the skin.
Most of the Complaints are Lodged for Unlicensed Businesses
