It was revealed that the apartment had been only in use for a short time, and yet during that time many cosmetic sessions still took place. This prompted immediate intervention from the authorities.
The Director General of the Foundation, Professor Dr. Nizar Mahmoud Mhaidat, disclosed that the people posing as dermatologists and plastic surgeons operated within the apartment, doing unauthorized cosmetic procedures.
