Police raided an unlicensed clinic allegedly performing dodgy filler injections in Thailand.

Officers stormed the four-storey building in tourist town Pattaya on January 15, following reports that it was operating without a permit.

Footage shows cops sweeping into the clinic, decked out in pink flowery interior decor, where they found two workers administering an injection on a patient on January 15.

One of the women was wearing pink scrubs and the other was in a doctor's coat as she injected the customer with a cheap Botox imitation.

Cops said the clinic's back room was used for storage, while another room was used to carry out cosmetic procedures.

Police detained quack doctor Chalisa Saensupha, 43, and clinic owner Chanyanit Wanwongsa, 35. They said Chalisa did not hold a medical license.

Police Colonel Thianchai Srathongoil of the Provincial Police Region 2 said: ‘We apprehended the clinic owner and handed her over to the inquiry officer at Pattaya City Police Station. She was charged with operating a medical facility and selling modern medicines without a licence.

‘The other suspect was charged with practising the medical profession as a physician without a licence.'

Running a beauty clinic in Thailand requires permission from the provincial public health office. A licensed physician must be present at all times during the clinic's operating hours and the clinic must be closed if the physician is absent.

Other employees are strictly prohibited from performing procedures or providing treatments in place of the physician.

All products used in the clinic, including medicines, cosmetics, and medical devices, must also have registration numbers and must not be expired.

Botox is a prescription drug made from botulinum toxin, used in tiny doses to smooth wrinkles and treat conditions like migraines and muscle spasms. Its purchase and use are tightly regulated by health authorities.
