Dubai Police Arrest Three Women for Illegal Cosmetic Procedures

Dubai Police have detained three women accused of illegally practicing medicine and performing cosmetic treatments without a licence inside a residential apartment. Officials said these activities violated UAE laws and posed serious risks to public health. The Anti-Economic Crime Department, working with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), acted on a tip-off about suspicious operations in the apartment. After verifying the information, officers raided the premises, confiscating medical tools and unlicensed medications. The suspects have been referred to the public prosecution for further legal proceedings. Authorities warned that undergoing medical or cosmetic procedures in unlicensed locations can endanger clients' safety. Residents are advised to seek services only from licensed clinics, verify practitioner credentials, and avoid risky offers. The public is encouraged to report illegal medical practices via the 'Police Eye' platform or by calling 901. Dubai Police reaffirmed their commitment to combatting unlicensed medical activities and ensuring community safety.
