Hong Kong beautician ‘unaware’ manager was unlicensed before botched botox jobs
- Lau Lo appears in court over allegations she helped provide unlicensed botox injections to two customers in 2022 at now-closed centre
Defendant Lau Lo, 38, appeared at Kowloon City Court to face allegations that she helped provide unlicensed botox injections to two customers on November 7 and 10 of 2022 at the now-closed CC Beauty in Jordan.
She previously pleaded not guilty to two counts of performing medical treatments without registration that resulted in personal injury. The two victims reported side effects such as blurred vision, problems chewing and increased heartbeats.
Centre manager Zhang Min was sentenced to four months in prison in March of this year after pleading guilty.
“I was just an employee there … I was only in charge of receiving the customers, I did not know Zhang was unlicensed,” Lau told Magistrate Kestrel Lam Tsz-hong.
“I shared my new job at a beauty parlour on WeChat and my friends reached out to me after seeing the post.”
