Muhaidat indicated that the administration has taken several strict control procedures in this regard, and decided not to complete any import invoice for laser devices of all kinds except after obtaining approval from the Directorate of Professions and Institutions Licensing at the Ministry of Health, to ensure that laser devices are used only in licensed beauty centers.

He added that the administration has emphasized to importers of medical supplies, including of sterilizers and antiseptics, the need to keep import invoices and sales lists for all imported medical supplies, and filler injections, which specify the party to which it is sold, to ensure that it is used only by those authorized to use these types of medical supplies.

The JFDA also told producers and importers of cosmetics that they need to provide it with a waiver, signed and certified by a bank, in the event a request to transfer an agency for cosmetics and pharmaceutical cosmetics is submitted.

At the same time, there is need for continuous monitoring and inspection campaigns of places dealing with supplies, medical devices and cosmetics, be they institutions, points of sale or clinics, Muhaidat said.
