Don't Lose Your Health While Seeking Beauty
Today, with the concern of beauty and aesthetics, most people strive to do their best to look beautiful, young and well-groomed. From keeping up with fashion trends to the latest beauty treatments, the goal is to look and feel good.
So how safe are the treatments we receive?
We often hear about beauty or aesthetic treatments gone wrong and see many clients who need corrective treatment. Medical aesthetic treatments that include anti-wrinkle injections, commonly referred to as skin treatments such as botox, dermal fillers, and chemical peels, cannot be performed by people with little or no training.
Cosmetic medicine is a rapidly growing and expanding field, and irregular practice can confuse the public. Treatments should only be done by doctors. However, as these rules are not enforced, it is unfortunately not difficult to find a therapist who has been on a course and claims to be qualified to perform potentially dangerous treatments, including injecting prescription-only drugs.
Especially botox or fillers have become a rapidly growing sector that people often prefer today. However, the problem is that information is still being accessed in the market where unlicensed products are used. We are getting news that complaints about inflated treatments are increasing day by day and most of them are related to lip augmentation treatments. These data go on to tell us that treatments are still being delivered by non-healthcare professionals.
Investigate
Those who want to practice should check their practitioners and references. It should be noted that the qualifications of practitioners are demonstrable. What are the possible side effects or complications? If you're not happy with the answers, go elsewhere. If you're going to buy a car, you don't just say "I want the red one there". You want to know more about him.
It is important to feel the need to enhance people's natural beauty. However, the responsibility here is to ensure that this need is met safely.
