KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry has warned beauty salons to stop providing botox injection treatments to the public or risk facing stern action, which may include jail time. Dr Lee had asked the Health Ministry what steps it had taken to monitor beauty clinics while making sure the growing local beauty sector is not hurt. Dr Subramaniam explained that beauty salons may provide cosmetic and aesthetic procedures that are not intrusive. However, intrusive procedures can only be conducted by professionals and doctors recognised by the Health Ministry. To an initial question from Khoo Soo Seang (BN-Tebrau), Dr Subramaniam said beauty salons that provide botox injections can be charged for misusing business premises and obtaining banned substances.
