An investigation into allegations of secret filming at the AiRui Medical Aesthetics clinic's Youth Branch in Tainan has concluded without finding any hidden cameras. The case stemmed from a complaint by a former employee who suspected that spy cameras had been installed, fearing she might have been recorded during her time working at or receiving treatments from the clinic.
The Tainan District Prosecutors Office directed police to search the clinic premises. However, the search yielded no evidence of hidden surveillance equipment or related traces. Consequently, the prosecutors decided to issue a non-prosecution disposition for the female manager of the Youth Branch.
According to the disposition, the accuser had worked at the clinic from August 2025 to January 2026 and continued to receive aesthetic treatments, including hyaluronic acid injections and radiofrequency procedures, as a consumer after her employment. Her decision to report the incident to the police in early May was reportedly triggered by widespread media coverage of similar alleged filming incidents at another AiRui branch in Banqiao. Prosecutors noted that her fears appeared to be based on these media reports rather than concrete evidence of wrongdoing at the Tainan clinic.
