SINGAPORE — They were lured by the cheap prices advertised by home-based"aestheticians", but ended up paying more when the procedures go wrong.
Dr Woffles Wu, a plastic surgeon at Woffles Wu Aesthetic Surgery & Laser Centre, said: “Some of them come in quite desperate, they realised… a silly thing to do and instead of saving the cost, they end up having to spend more to correct it.” All three of them claimed to have licensed practices and certifications, but when asked to show documentation or photos of them, they all declined.
Dr Leo cited a particular case involving a patient who underwent botched procedures after finding the service on Chinese social media and e-commerce platform Xiaohongshu.that their friends did not experience adverse results. Mr Kelvin Ong, a lawyer with Contigo Law LLC, said that “medical services which require a doctor’s medical licence should not be done at home”.
The “aesthetician”, who wore purple scrubs with her brand name stitched on top, had turned a regular bedroom into a makeshift clinic.
