Sofia noted that the demand from tourists for cosmetic treatments is so significant that some individuals can undergo as many as seven procedures in a single day. This high throughput suggests a well-oiled system designed to accommodate a large number of patients seeking various aesthetic enhancements.
Beauty clinics for tourists work 'like a production line,' she says.
