Former Miss Morocco 2021, Sofia Bennani, has publicly detailed a severe accident during a laser hair removal session in 2024 that caused significant facial injuries. The incident occurred as she was preparing for a beauty pageant.
According to reports from French media, including France Bleu, the practitioner was allegedly attending to other clients simultaneously during the procedure. When the laser device was removed, it tore off a fragment of skin, causing first and second-degree burns on her face.
Bennani shared her story and images of her injuries on social media to raise awareness about the risks of cosmetic treatments and the importance of practitioner qualifications. Her case sparked discussions in Morocco and France about regulation in the aesthetics industry.
The model underwent multiple treatments for her injuries. There is no recent update on further legal action or the current status of the clinic involved.
