KARACHI: The Sindh Healthcare Commission (SHCC) has intensified its crackdown on illegal aesthetic clinics, sealing 10 more facilities in DHA Karachi that were operating without qualified dermatologists registered with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC).
These unlicensed clinics were performing high-risk cosmetic procedures, including PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, mesotherapy, and other treatments, without proper medical supervision — posing serious health risks to unsuspecting citizens.
A major illegal clinic in Khayaban-e-Ittehad, previously sealed by SHCC, had resumed operations after breaking official seals. During a follow-up raid, SHCC officials re-sealed the premises and evacuated all individuals present.
In Phase 7, a beauty salon was discovered secretly offering advanced aesthetic services. In Phase 2, a woman holding a BA in sociology had resumed running her illegal clinic despite earlier seal orders. She was once again shut down after relocating to a new shop.
In Badar Commercial Phase 5, a clinic named Aesthetic Solutions was being operated by a midwife, who is only authorized to provide basic health services in rural areas. Nearby, a physiotherapist was performing PRP procedures at Rajput Clinic, while another facility was run by a matric-pass individual. Both were sealed immediately.
The operation was led by SHCC Assistant Director Anti-Quackery Karachi, along with Deputy Director Dr Razia, Ahmer Abbas Saldira, and Assistant Directors Moiz Qureshi and Farheen Lashari.
The SHCC has also warned that some registered doctors are enabling these illegal operators by lending their medical licenses — a violation that will result in strict disciplinary action.
SHCC urges the public to verify a clinic’s license and the qualifications of practitioners before undergoing any aesthetic treatment, in order to avoid severe medical complications.
