How the Raid Unfolded
Police received information about unlicensed medical and cosmetic services in a flat. After verifying the tip, a planned raid took place. The operation ended with three arrests and the seizure of items used in the illegal practice. Authorities said these actions posed serious risks to public health.
What Residents Should Do
Use only licensed clinics and qualified professionals. Before any treatment, verify the practitioner’s status through DHA’s system and confirm that a facility license exists. If you see suspicious ads or home procedures, report them to Dubai Police.
- Verify a practitioner: DHA License/Registration Status
- Understand registration vs. licensing: DHA Professional Registration (activation needed to practice)
- Report suspicious activity: Dubai Police “Police Eye” or call 901
Why It Matters
Unlicensed procedures can lead to infections, scarring, or worse. Legal clinics follow hygiene rules, keep proper records, and use approved products. Dubai Police said they will continue to target illegal operators and protect patient safety across the emirate.
Check the license, choose approved facilities, and report unsafe offers to keep Dubai safe.
