Dr Jayanthy Ravindran, who runs Tamira, an aesthetic and cosmetic surgery centre, says that one has to be aware of the aspects of the services and that it should be rendered by qualified people. “Some of my clients tell me some spas carry out mole removal procedures using topical creams. But somebody might be allergic to these creams. So does the person administering it know about it. In case of invasive procedures, complications can arise even when a surgeon does it but they should know how to handle it,” she says. She says that in the student’s case, it could be a
reaction or an infection.

Sanket Shah, CEO and MD, Advanced hair Studio (India and Middle East), says, “The medical association is not taking strict action against the doctors flouting norms. These unethical practices are largely due to the desire to make fast money,” he says. Shah adds that the norms of using state of art instruments is flouted. “Local authorities should keep a check on the professionals rendering such services, the treatment procedures and medical waste management standards,” he adds.
